Follow up of b2ee1770d4 and 10c2254d41, part of T74432.
Now the area and region naming conventions should be less confusing.
Mostly a careful batch rename but had to do few smaller fixes.
Also ran clang-format on affected files.
Owner of filelisting job was changed, without proper update of all
access/usages of that owner to reach the job, leading to failure of
timer removal from the WM, and attempt to double-free the job...
Caused by rB2c4dfbb00246ff.
The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.

Main reason for doing this is that the navigation buttons are very
close to the file list now, making them much faster to reach.
Initially we let the upper bar (the one with the file path, navigation
and display buttons) use full area width, because designs back then had
more horizontal space problems. The designs have changed meanwhile, and
horizontal space is less of an issue.
However, when the file browser is shrunk horizontally, or if it's open
in a small area (e.g. see "Shading" workspace), having the tool region
open brings back the space issues. But even the file list layout becomes
problematic then, and the same issue was present before the new file
browser design, so we've decided this is an acceptable tradeoff.
The big options button in the lower left is now gone, it's replaced by a
smaller icon toggle button in the upper right.
That means I could also remove code for the region we had just for this
button.
I also added versioning code for the removal, to make sure the region is
removed cleanly when reading old files.
For the default keymap we were only using the regular toolshelf
operator, doing this for the industry compatible keymap too now (we
could even remove it there, we don't use it in other editors).
Since we "now" have proper operators for toggling regions, this specific
one is totally redundant.
So far the file browser code had some lazy creation for the tool region,
even though it should always be there. The only reason I can see for
this is compatiblity. So I simply added versioning code to add the
region in case it's not there. Now we should be able to savely assume
the tool region to be there, whithout any unusual lazy-creation.
This makes it so that regions only needed when the file browser is
invoked as an operation (e.g. Ctrl+O rather than a regular editor) are
lazy created then, and removed if the file browser is changed into a
regular editor then (e.g. Ctrl+O over regular file browser editor ->
Cancel).
That should remove some troublesome assumptions and makes versioning
redundant.
It also fixes the issue of an empty execute region at the bottom after
cancelling a file operation invoked from a regular file browser editor.
This would happen when opening a file browser as regular editor, opening
a temporary file browser from there (e.g. Ctrl+O) and cancelling the
operation.
In some cases this would cause most of the editor to be filled with an
empty operator options region:
* Go to Shading workspace
* File -> Append
* Cancel
Makes the numpad + and - type of shortcuts to increase/decrease the file
number suffix work in the upper and lower bar of the file browser.
Had to add keymap handlers to the execute region for this to work.
We moved this to Python too quickly, causing the following regressions:
* No auto completion for file names
* Additional handling not applied on changes, like automatic extension
appending (see file_filename_enter_handle)
* Red highlight missing when the file name already exists
Note that earlier (before the file browser redesign), this didn't use
the panel and layout code at all. So even if it's still not in Python,
at least it's integrated into regular panel management now.
OS-specific ordering of the open and cancel button is kept.
Fixes T69457.
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.

We need to make those paths validation async, since some infamous OS is
unable to provide a quick way to check whether a path is valid or not...
Not much to say here, this is basic wmJob stuff really... We don’t even
need complex threaded coordination locks or atomics, given how simple
the changes are here.
Fake-tested with some `sleep()` calls to add atificial delay, seems to
work as expected.
Makes the file browser operator property region (lower left) dynamically
sized to content. Previously, the default size would work really badly
for file browsers opened in small windows, e.g. to install Add-ons from
the preferences window. It would be mostly empty but use lots of space
then.
This is a continuation of rB7fdffd735ff24, where I separated the
e.g. frame number drawing from scrollers internally.
This patch changes the API, so that space draw handlers
have to draw these numbers explicitely.
This greatly simplifies the scrollers API for all spaces
that just need scrollers without any frame numbers.

Previously only a fixed bounding box could be used.
This was not flexible enough.
T63193 will benefit from this refactor.
Reviewers: brecht, campbellbarton
We really do not need two 256 chars variables to hanlde renaming, a mere
pair of flags can handle the situation just as well.
Also, scroll to newly renamed item, will help when one want to find
again the directory they just added and rename.
At some point we'll probably want to refactor scrolling further (to make
it fully out of rename code/context e.g.), but for now think this will do.
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.
This should be purely an implementation change,
for end users there should be no functional difference.
The entire key configuration is in one file with ~5000 lines of code.
Mostly avoiding code duplication and preserve comments and utility
functions from the C code.
It's a bit long but for searching and editing it's also convenient to
have it all in one file.
Notes:
- Actual keymap is shared by blender / blender_legacy
and stored in `keymap_data/blender_default.py`
This only generates JSON-like data to be passed into
`keyconfig_import_from_data`, allowing other presets to load and
manipulate the default keymap.
- Each preset defines 'keyconfig_data'
which can be shared between presets.
- Some of the utility functions for generating keymap items still
need to be ported over to Python.
- Some keymap items can be made into loops (marked as TODO).
