Image cataloging guide: User Interface elements

Note All of these categories apply to Blender 2.4. For Blender 2.5 we will discuss a good convention when Beta 1 will be out.

Window

Add a category for the Window the UI element belongs to. Now we have these categories:

[[Category:UI/Window/3D]]
[[Category:UI/Window/Ipo]]
[[Category:UI/Window/Action]]
[[Category:UI/Window/NLA]]
[[Category:UI/Window/UV Image]]
[[Category:UI/Window/Sequencer]]
[[Category:UI/Window/Timeline]]
[[Category:UI/Window/Audio]]
[[Category:UI/Window/Text]]
[[Category:UI/Window/Info]]
[[Category:UI/Window/Outliner]]
[[Category:UI/Window/Buttons]]
[[Category:UI/Window/NodeEditor]]
[[Category:UI/Window/ImageBrowser]]
[[Category:UI/Window/FileBrowser]]
[[Category:UI/Window/Scripts]]
[[Category:UI/Window/UserPrefs]]

Example: adding a

[[Category:UI/Window/Buttons]]

tag means that the element is in the Button window, see for example

Type

Add a category for UI element type, like menu, popup, panel, etc. Now we have:

[[Category:UI/Type/3D element]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Button]]
[[Category:UI/Type/FixPanel]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Keyframe]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Icon]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Menu]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Panel]]
[[Category:UI/Type/PopUp]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Selector]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Widget]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Marker]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Sound]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Strip]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Text]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Datablock]]
[[Category:UI/Type/File]]
[[Category:UI/Type/Node]]

but you can add more when needed.

Place

Add a category for where do you find the UI element. Basically this can be:

[[Category:UI/Place/Header]]
[[Category:UI/Place/View]]

Context

Please add a category for the Context. Below you find a list valid for Blender 2.4.

[[Category:UI/Context/Logic]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Script]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Shading/Lamps]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Shading/Material]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Shading/Texture]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Shading/Radiosity]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Shading/World]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Object/Object]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Object/Physics]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Object/Particles]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Editing]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Render/Render]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Render/Sequencer]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Render/Playback]]
[[Category:UI/Context/Render/Sound]]

For Blender 2.5 we still haev to discuss a good convention.

"Manual" category

If possible, add the "manual category " following the actual structure in Doc:Manual, so say if it is Materials, or Sequencer, etc . That is optional and we can add those later. Example:

After a while things repeat, so just copy paste from a text I have opened in desktop :)

Special cases

Special cases are:

• if the picture shows names of objects, like , put it in

[[Category:UI/Names]]

• if the UI element has a special name, put it under

[[Category:UI/Names]]

Example: is in

[[Category:UI/Names/ToolBox]]

• if the image is UI generic but it's interesting put it in

[[Category:UI]]

• in sother trange cases be creative :)
