Fill-selection would only go upward in list of items to find an already
selected one and fill-select all items in-between. Now, in case upward
search fails, it will also intent to go downward, effectiviely allowing
to 'fill-select' from bottom to top.
Note that top-to-bottom keeps priority (i.e. if a top-to-bottom
fill-selection is possible, it will always happen, even if a
bottom-to-top one is also possible).
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.
These may be exposed in UI (keymap editor & redo panel), so better avoid using identifiers like "UP" "DOWN". They are redundant anyway (already displayed).
Was kinda split in two different places (one allowed to modify given path to always get a valid one,
the other only checking for validity of given path), not nice - and broken in asset branch case.
So rather extended a bit FileList->checkdirf to handle both cases (modifying and non-modifying path).
Problem was in fact slightly wider, File space was nearly not taking into account
library navigation case and its 'virtual' directoris, except in a few places.
Add a wrapper around BLI_is_dir that also check for lib paths, and used it in
ED_file_change_dir(), such that we now always check path is a
valid directory - in the filebrowser context, not filesytem context. ;)
Filenames over 128 chars would crash.
Move BLI_newname into file_ops,
this was only used in one place and isn't all that re-usable.
Also remove special behavior for 4 digits.
Adjusts view after mouse/border selection if some selected items are out of view bounds.
To get as much of the selection into view as possible, this adjusts view first for the last, then for the first element in the selection.
Also, if region is pretty small, view adjustment is skipped, as otherwise the view is focused on the first element only, which isn't really useful IMHO.
Maybe not so nice: Since we do two view alignment iterations, UI_view2d_curRect_validate, which is a rather big function *might* be called twice under certain circumstances (border select & total size of selected elements is exceeds view bounds). I think that's totally acceptable though.
Basically, after border selecting, a wrong file was selected by using arrow keys if the screen was scrolled a bit vertically. Reason was that we didn't use correct view space coordinates but region space coordinates for measuring distance from mouse to first/last file in selection after border select.
It basically rewrites most of filelist.c, with some more limited changes in other areas of filebrowser.
From user perspective, it:
* Removes some info in 'long' drawing mode (owner, permissions) - OS-specific data that do not really matter in Blender!
* Makes short/long display 'fixed' size (among four choices, like thumbnails mode).
* Allows to list several layers of dirtree at once, in a flat way (inside .blend files and/or real directories).
* Consequently, adds datablocks types filtering.
* Uses way less RAM when listing big directories, especially in thumbnail mode (we are talking of several hundred of MiB spared).
* Generates thumbnails way faster.
From code perspective, it:
* Is ready for asset engine needs (on data structure level in filebrowser's listing).
* Simplifies and makes 'generic' file listing much lighter.
* Separates file listing in three different aspects:
** 'generic' filelisting (in BLI), which becomes a shallow wrapper around stat struct.
** 'filebrowser drawing' filelisting, which only contains current visible subset of the whole list (sliding window), with extra drawing data (strings for size, date/time, preview, etc.).
** 'asset-ready' filelisting, which is used for operations common to 'basic' filehandling and future asset-related one.
* Uses uuid's to handle file selection/state in the browser, instead of using flags in filelisting items.
* Uses much lighter BLI_task handling for previews, instead of heavy 'job' system (using the new 'notifier' timer to handle UI refresh, in similar way to jobs).
* Moves .blend datablocks preview handling to IMB_thumbnail (necessary to avoid storing all datablock previews at once, and gives better consistency and performances too).

Thanks to Campbell & Sergey for the reviews. :)
In fact, filebrowser was not making any checks for invalid file/dir names here!
Added checks in the three places that should be protected:
* Renaming.
* Creating dirs.
* Typing in filename field.
BLI_add_slash appended to a char *, a potential buffer overflow
Also partially removed an assert, which failed after changing file format of a saved image. We need a better way to handle such cases.
Actually this was an intentional change in rBaeeb23efa28dc to prevent Blender from trying to open the old file from the new directory. Issue is that this is really bad for saving and basically breaks "Save As".
Some more tweaks were needed to make it work like before, so now it keeps the name of the last selected file, but clears it when selecting a folder.
Selecting '..' entry was intentionally disabled in rB76b4fad6dbda1b10c, however, for file navigation this can be really useful. So this basically allows selecting '..' entry again, *if it is the only entry to select*. It won't be selected using box select, select all or when expanding selection.
From a user-POV this makes following changes:
* Adds support for using the Enter-key to open directories
* Updates the upper text-buttons for file and directory on selection
* Last selected file/directory is opened now (in sync with upper text-buttons)
* Changes text in open button to "Open Directory" if a directory is selected
D1349, Reviewed by @mont29
* Unset active file on opening/resetting file list
* Accidentally placed NULL check in the middle of the function - not a
big deal as it's highly unlikely that it fails (removed it but added
assert)
Adds support for selecting/deselecting files in File Browser using the
arrow keys. All directions (up, down, left, right) are possible.
When to Select, When to Deselect?
Standard behaviour is selecting, however if we move into a block of
already selected files (meaning 2+ files are selected) we start
deselecting
Possible Selection Methods
Simple selection (arrow-key): All other files are deselected
Expand selection (Shift+arrow key): Add to/remove from existing
selection
ill-Expand selection (Ctrl+Shift+arrow key): Add to/remove from existing
selection and fill everything in-between
From which file do we start navigating?
From each available selection method (Mouse-, Walk-, All-, Border
Select), we use the last selected file. If there's no selection at all
we use the first (down/right arrow) or last (up/left arrow) file.
(Ideally, the view would automatically be set to the new selection, but
this behaviour overlaps with an other patch I've been working on, so
prefer to do that separately)
(Also tweaks color for highlighted file for better feedback)
D1297, Review done by @campbellbarton, thx a lot :)
Did not had any issue on linux, but looks like on some windows can slow things as Hell.
Or maybe just the presence of some network FS?
Anyway, not a good idea, so now fsmenu entries' valid status is stored and only evaluated
on startup (reading of bookmarks & co) and when opening file browser (refresh, like
for system bookmarks).
Reported by maxon through IRC, thanks.
Invalid (inexistant) bookmarks would not be selectable, hence not removable.
First, made invalid bookmarks grayed out in lists, so that user knows when there are some.
Then, added a new 'cleanup' operator that removes all invalid bookmarks.
This solution may not be completely satisfaying, but should do the work for now.
I do not want to add back those ugly 'X' delete buttons for each entry in list,
so better solution would be to make UIList able to select several items at once...
Bookmarks are now editable (i.e. you can rename them, and reorder them).
They are also listed in regular UILists, so you can filter/sort them as usual too.
Also, FileBrowser 'T' side area is changed to something similar to 3DView one,
in this case because we need op panel to remain at the bottom, and later because
we'll more than likely need tabs here!
Thanks to Campbell and Sergey for reviews.
