Change Details

Followup task to T54653 to work on implementing the workflow changes proposed. (Note: This is currently a lower priority item than fixing bugs to get 2.8 into a usable state for Spring team. But, I'll be working on this when I get time). There are the following sub-tasks: * ~~**Create operator for "Open Drivers Editor" functionality.**~~ rBc685c19df95 * ~~Basic opening functionality~~ * ~~Filtering support to get driven property under mouse at the time the "active" driver~~ * **Eyedropper support for clicking in 3D view and getting menu of common properties to drive, based on item under mouse.** * Basic object support * Investigate possibility of bone support too. (NOTE: Last time this was tried, it turned out being too complex to accomplish) * Restore cursor feedback when eyedropper is active (T55147) * **Clean up drivers editor ui** * ~~Add more space for expressions box~~ * ~~Remove "Show Debug Info" checkbox - it's always needed~~ * ~~Remove "Update Dependencies" button by making it redundant~~ - Should be ok now without out. It's still in the UI, but will be removed soon * Remove "Use Self"? Or rename? * Add optional display of useful hints about syntax for expressions and/or what can be used * **New persistent floating panel UI for adding and editing driver settings** * Floating panel * Basic layout * Driver variable management
