tested and committed update to contrib.
@Damien Picard (pioverfour) are you interested in maintaining this addon?

@Brendon Murphy (meta-androcto) Thank you!
Sure, I should be able to maintain it. I don’t have commit access, though, I will have to read up on that.

Also, as you said, the add-on was much requested. What should be done to include it again in addons?

Hi, thank you very much for the detailed answer.
I have looked already at the documentation pages you linked to, subscribed to the mailing lists, and am ready to maintain the add-on. I’m familiar enough with git not to mess it up too bad!

I sent a commit access request to the mailing list.

I was pointed out here by this thread on BlenderArtist. I did a quick update last night and noticed that the UV animation part isnt working properly like in bl 2.79

When you try to use as in the old version, so simple unwrap and add uv texture. Than you can use the addon the key the uv map position. However when you scrub in the timeline i see the data change. Last night i tried a couple methods and then noticed that when using the "Points" option without actually manipulating points it would show the animation. Hover this also only works when you add the points while in Object mode. Then you can delete the keys for "Points" and it will still work.

This update version shows the exact same issue as the version i updated last night.
Im using 2.80 (sub 75), f6cb5f54494e, 2019-07-29 14:47 and here is my updated version.

Ive also added a test file. left is the setup with "points" added, right is only using UVs.

PS this updated version is changed quite heavily how it adds keys. Should it first check which of the boolean is checked and then do the looping of all parts?
It seem this version will loop over the mesh even if everything is unchecked.

Old version

if context.window_manager.key_points:
                for Vert in Data.vertices:
                    insert_key(Vert, 'co')

Updated version

for v_i, vert in enumerate(data.vertices):
                if not animall_properties.key_selected or vert.select:
                    if animall_properties.key_points:
                        insert_key(vert, 'co', group="vertex %s" % v_i)

@Rombout Versluijs (rombout) Hi, thanks for the report. Indeed, there seems to be a refresh problem with UVs. It also seems to happen with mesh vertex groups, vertex colors, and lattices’ point locations, only I couldn’t apply your workaround for the latter.

My guess is that these bugs are related to the depsgraph, and perhaps they weren’t noticed before due to this add-on being unavailable, and setting keyframes without it being only possible via scripting, as far as I know.

As to the suggestion not to loop over the elements when no checkbox is selected, I had made this modification in order to avoid looping several times over elements. Actually the speedup wouldn’t be much, since looping over them is faster than inserting keyframes anyway. It’s also a bit more legible so I will revert this. Thanks.

Two other bugfixes in the attached file:

• Fix keyframe insertion for Curves and Surfaces
• Fix mode switching (for Vertex Paint Mode)

My workaround is, add keyframe UV and Points in object mode. Then it worked for me.

Yes, but it doesn’t apply for lattices, since they only have point locations, and no UVs.

hi, Welcome to Blender addons development team. I see your already comfortable with git and have made some commits to contrib.
Next process is to return the addon back to release addons. We need to do some task tags here to track the addons and related tasks.
1st Commit will be to remove the addon from contrib. The commit message should be as follows:
animation_animall: remove from contrib: T68332 T63750 e6a1dfbe53be
2nd Commit will be to return the addon to release. The commit message should be as follows:
animation_animall: return to release: T68332 T63750 e6a1dfbe53be
Thanks. any problems let me know.

I'm not sure how it went from broken and issue with updates to a fixed version. Weren't there issues with the depsgraph?

@Brendon Murphy (meta-androcto) Thank you for the welcome, the process has been very pleasant so far. Pushing my commits was easier than I expected!
I have pushed two commits to add-ons and contrib as instructed: rBA610fb38cc215 and rBAC8b5ea4d118e5.

@Rombout Versluijs (rombout) You are right, there is an issue with the depsgraph. But it lies with Blender and there isn’t much that can be done on the add-on side. @Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk) is investigating it at T68666 and assigned a high priority to the issue.

I implemented multi-object editing in rBAfe627477c250, but this makes the logic twisted, since there are several behaviours in keyframe insertion, depending on type and whether the key is inserted on data or shape key. I will explain the current logic below:

• for Meshes, insertion must happen in Object Mode, otherwise the data is not updated;
• for Curves and Surfaces, insertion must happen in Edit Mode, otherwise the points snap back to keyed position,
  • except for shape keys, which must happen in Object Mode, otherwise the data is not updated;
• for Lattices, insertion must happen in Edit Mode, otherwise all points are deselected and insertion doesn’t work any more for Selected Only
  • but then the data is not updated and the keyframe has to be inserted twice (sometimes?)

Hence, there are bound to be bugs for some edge cases, e.g. selecting objects of different types and inserting keyframes in Object Mode…

All right, thanks!

Guys, i found another issue perhaps. This addon is call counter. It can add a couple methods to show a counter in in render frame. In the viewport and on single renders it works just fine. But when rendering an animation the property doesnt update?

This is the addon
https://blenderartists.org/t/a-text-counter-plugin/601171/21?u=rombout

This file doesnt render properly when rendering animation

Hi @Rombout Versluijs (rombout),
thanks for the report but this is completely unrelated to Animall, especially to the Blender 2.80 update. Please open a new bug report.

I can confirm this bug though, and it does seem related to the dependency graph. Here is a simplified blend file showing the error. It doesn’t need the Text Counter add-on. The frame_change_post handler doesn’t update text data on animation render. Other handlers don’t seem to either.

Thanks @Damien Picard (pioverfour) for pointing in the correct direction. Ill make a bug post for this.
