When executing the node selection operator through Python, or in fact
any similar select operator with drag-all-selected support, the operator
was enabling modal execution, which should not be done in this case.
Reason was simply a wrong default for an internal property.
Based on work by Bastien and Brecht in the Node Editor, this adds more
generalized support for selecting items so that click+drag actions on
items (nodes, makers, dopesheet keys, etc.) works as wanted.
Note that this only adds the barebones to support this in other editors,
it's not used yet (will be done in followup commits).
The behavior is supposed to work as follows:
* Clicking an unselected item immediately selects it, and deselects
other items (doesn't wait for release events).
* Click+drag on an unselected item immediately selects it, deselects
others and drags it in one go (don't require selecting it first!).
* Click+drag on a selected item won't change the selection state (and
won't send an undo push) and start dragging all selected items as soon
as the drag event is recognized.
* Clicking on a selected item will still deselect others, but that will
only happen on mouse release, when we know the intention is not to drag
the item.

As per Brecht's suggestion, use the check_existing property to control
visibility of the '+' and '-' icons. It is typically set for save
operations.
Adds another FileSelectParams flag (to avoid duplicated propertie
lookups) and removes the recently introduced
FileSelectParams.action_type again.
Fixes T69881.
This is a general redesign of the File Browser GUI and interaction
methods. For screenshots, check patch D5601.
Main changes in short:
* File Browser as floating window
* New layout of regions
* Popovers for view and filter options
* Vertical list view with interactive column header
* New and updated icons
* Keymap consistency fixes
* Many tweaks and fixes to the drawing of views
----
General:
* The file browser now opens as temporary floating window. It closes on
Esc. The header is hidden then.
* When the file browser is opened as regular editor, the header remains
visible.
* All file browser regions are now defined in Python (the button
layout).
* Adjusted related operator UI names.
Keymap:
Keymap is now consistent with other list-based views in Blender, such as
the Outliner.
* Left click to select, double-click to open
* Right-click context menus
* Shift-click to fill selection
* Ctrl-click to extend selection
Operator options:
These previously overlapped with the source list, which caused numerous
issues with resizing and presenting many settings in a small panel area.
It was also generally inconsistent with Blender.
* Moved to new sidebar, which can easily be shown or hidden using a
prominent Options toggle.
* IO operators have new layouts to match this new sidebar, using
sub-panels. This will have to be committed separately (Add-on
repository).
* If operators want to show the options by default, they have the option
to do so (see `WM_FILESEL_SHOW_PROPS`, `hide_props_region`), otherwise
they are hidden by default.
General Layout:
The layout has been changed to be simpler, more standard, and fits
better in with Blender 2.8.
* More conventional layout (file path at top, file name at the bottom,
execute/cancel buttons in bottom right).
* Use of popovers to group controls, and allow for more descriptive
naming.
* Search box is always live now, just like Outliner.
Views:
* Date Modified column combines both date and time, also uses user
friendly strings for recent dates (i.e. "Yesterday", "Today").
* Details columns (file size, modification date/time) are now toggleable
for all display types, they are not hardcoded per display type.
* File sizes now show as B, KB, MB, ... rather than B, KiB, MiB, … They
are now also calculated using base 10 of course.
* Option to sort in inverse order.
Vertical List View:
* This view now used a much simpler single vertical list with columns
for information.
* Users can click on the headers of these columns to order by that
category, and click again to reverse the ordering.
Icons:
* Updated icons by Jendrzych, with better centering.
* Files and folders have new icons in Icon view.
* Both files and folders have reworked superimposed icons that show
users the file/folder type.
* 3D file documents correctly use the 3d file icon, which was unused
previously.
* Workspaces now show their icon on Link/Append - also when listed in
the Outliner.
Minor Python-API breakage:
* `bpy.types.FileSelectParams.display_type`: `LIST_SHORT` and
`LIST_LONG` are replaced by `LIST_VERTICAL` and `LIST_HORIZONTAL`.
Removes the feature where directories would automatically be created if
they are entered into the file path text button, but don't exist. We
were not sure if users use it enough to keep it. We can definitely bring
it back.

New icons from Andrzej Ambroż / jendrzych:
- New icons for select tool modes
- Brought back screen icon for viewport visibility toggles
- Added new Instanced visibility toggle (unused currently - meant for forthcoming updates to the Outliner)
- New Gizmo icon for the header
- Many tweaks and alterations to existing icons. Full list on Devtalk
- Use correct icon when Proportional Editing is disabled
Also moved that operator option from 3d-view op to generic
WM_operator_properties_mouse_select() helper, and renamed its label
(since 'Deselect' is already in use).
Part of T57918.
Add back the ability to choose the select operation for random select.
Now we allow the operator to specify if the select operation should be
visible in the GUI or not.

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
- Key-map items properties now override tool-options
so modifier keys can have different behavior to the default action.
- Box & circle select now have `wait_for_input` properties
instead of detecting this based on selection options being set or not.
This relied on the key-map setting properties which may need to be
initialize from the tool settings.
Only use confirmation w/ X-key since this is more likely to be pressed
by accident. Delete-key delete doesn't confirm.
Part of D3953 by @Zachman w/ edits
Add tool options to control how select operates (add/sub/set/and/xor).
Note: edit mode armature select still needs to support all options,
this is complicated by how it handles partial end-point selection.
These are set in the interface and aren't useful to show to users.
Other minor changes
- Rename 'Ruler/Protractor' -> 'Ruler'
- Rename Subdivide 'Quad/Tri Mode' -> 'Create N-Gons' (and invert).
Border and circle select wait for input by default.
This commit uses bool properties on the operators instead of
magic number (called "gesture_mode").
Keymaps that define 'deselect' for border/circle select
begin immediately, exiting when on button release.
All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/

Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
custom builds and compile fixes.
