For some reason the asset preview isn't created or loaded correctly in
some instances. This could be addressed with D9974, but hard to tell
since I only have a failing .blend file, no steps to recreate it from
scratch.
Would crash when opening an Asset Browser, selecting an object asset
(that has an invalid preview stored) and opening the Asset Browser
sidebar, so that the preview is visible there.
Pass `FileListReadJob` to the `read_job_fn` callback, instead of exploding
the struct into its individual fields, passing those as parameters, and
marking a bunch of those as unused again.
No functional changes.
In the `FileList` struct, rename the `AssetLibraryReference
*asset_library` field to `asset_library_ref` -- it's a description of
which asset library is used, and not the asset library itself.
This is to make space for a future `AssetLibrary *asset_library` field,
which will point to an actual asset library struct/class.
No functional changes.

Since recently it's possible to access assets from outside the
File/Asset Browser, via the asset view template. So we are slowly
moving away from file space specific code to dedicated asset system
code. I introduced `AssetLibraryReference` as a duplicate of
`FileSelectAssetLibraryUID`, with a plan to delete the latter in a
separate cleanup commit. That's exactly what this commit is.
This will cause Asset Browsers to open with the default "Current File"
Asset Library. We could avoid that, but it's a minor issue really.
Implements a basic, WIP version of the asset list. This is needed to
give the asset view UI template asset reading and displaying
functionality.
See:
* Asset System: Data Storage, Reading & UI Access - https://developer.blender.org/T88184
Especially the asset list internals should change. It uses the
File/Asset Browser's `FileList` API, which isn't really meant for access
from outside the File Browser. But as explained in T88184, it does a lot
of the stuff we currently need, so we (Sybren Stüvel and I) decided to
go this route for now. Work on a file-list rewrite which integrates well
with the asset system started in the `asset-system-filelist` branch.
Further includes:
* Operator to reload the asset list.
* New `bpy.types.AssetHandle.get_full_library_path()` function, which
gets the full path of the asset via the asset-list.
* Changes to preview loading to prevent the preview loading job to run
eternally for asset views. File Browsers have this issue too, but
should be fixed separately.
This per-workspace active asset library will be used by the asset views
later. Note that Asset Browsers have their own active asset library,
overriding the one from the workspace.
As part of this the `FileSelectAssetLibraryUID` type gets replaced by
`AssetLibraryReference` which is on the asset level now, not the
File/Asset Browser level. But some more work is needed to complete that,
which is better done in a separate commit.
This also moves the asset library from/to enum-value logic from RNA to
the editor asset level, which will later be used by the asset view.
When renaming an ID somewhere in the UI after marking it as asset, it would
often get lost in the Asset Browser (scrolled out of view). It would also get
deactivated.
This patch makes sure that if an asset is active whose ID gets renamed, it is
kept active and visible. That is important for a fast, uninterrupted asset
creation workflow, where users often rename assets while working in the asset
browser.
Old code stored the new file-name to identify a file after re-reading the
file-list after the rename. For assets that doesn't work because there may be
multiple assets with the same name. Here the simple solution of just storing
the pointer to the renamed ID is chosen, rather than relying on the file-name
in this case. (Should be fine with undo, since the ID * reference is short
lived, it's not stored over possible undo steps. If it turns out to have
issues, I rather switch to a rename_id_uuid, but keep that separate from the
file->uid).

This code was written for the File Browser together with the Asset Engine
design, that is not part of the Asset Browser/System design anymore. Updated
comments accordingly.
`FileDirEntryRevision` was actually used, but I removed it and moved the used
members to the parent `FileDirEntry`, since there is no concept of revisions
currently.
There should be no functional changes.
To some degree these are changes in preparation of further Asset Browser
related changes, see D11119. But also, the current UUID design was written for
the old Asset Engine design, which isn't part of the current Asset
Browser/System design anymore.
And lastly, "UUID" are a well established standard
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier) which this
implementation didn't follow. What we have here is more of an index, or a
unique identifier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_identifier).
So this does the following changes:
* Renames "UUID" to "UID"
* Changes the type of the UID to (a typedef'ed) `uint32_t`, which is more than
enough for our current asset system design and simplifies things.
* Due to the new type, we can avoid allocations for hash-table storage.
* Add/use functions for UID handling
Note that I am working on a major rewrite of the file-list code. Meanwhile we
want to keep things sensible.
When multiple File or Asset Browsers would load at once (e.g. when loading a
file with two File Browsers open) and they would load multiple directories or
.blend files (using the Recursions option in the File Browser or loading an
asset library with multiple .blends), often only one File/Asset Browser would
correctly load all files. Others would be incomplete or entirely empty. That
was because of a race condition, where the directories or .blend files would be
loaded concurrently and the first one that finished would cancel the other
ones. This again happened because they used the job system with the same
"owner", which by design makes all jobs with the same owner cancel as soon as
the first is finished.
Address this by making sure they have different owners. That is, not the scene
anymore, but the filelist the job belongs to. Doesn't make much sense to use
the scene as owner for scene-unrelated file loading anyway.
Steps to reproduce were:
* Open two File Browsers as regular editors.
* In the Display Settings popover, set "Recursions" to 2 or 3 levels.
* Navigate to a directory with plenty of subdirectories in both File Browsers.
* Save the file.
* Reload the file, one of the File Browsers likely has an incomplete file list.
Alternatively, use Asset Browsers and open an asset library containing multiple
.blends.
In-progress Safari download files/packages are now recognized as bundles
and therefore not treated as directories.

This reverts commit rB3a48147b8ab92, and fixes the issues with linking
etc.
Change compared to previous buggy commit (rBf8d219dfd4c31) is that
new `BlendFileReadReports` reports are now passed to the lowest level
function generating the `FileData` (`filedata_new()`), which ensures
(and asserts) that all code using it does have a valid non-NULL pointer
to a `BlendFileReadReport` data.
Sorry for the noise, it's always when you think a change is trivial and
do not test it well enough that you end up doing those kind of
mistakes...
After looking into task isolation issues with Sergey, we couldn't find the
reason behind the deadlocks that we are getting in T87938 and a Sprite Fright
file involving motion blur renders.
There is no apparent place where we adding or waiting on tasks in a task group
from different isolation regions, which is what is known to cause problems. Yet
it still hangs. Either we do not understand some limitation of TBB isolation,
or there is a bug in TBB, but we could not figure it out.
Instead the idea is to use isolation only where we know we need it: when
holding a mutex lock and then doing some multithreaded operation within that
locked region. Three places where we do this now:
* Generated images
* Cached BVH tree building
* OpenVDB lazy grid loading
Compared to the more automatic approach previously used, there is the downside
that it is easy to miss places where we need isolation. Yet doing it more
automatically is also causing unexpected issue and bugs that we found no
solution for, so this seems better.
Patch implemented by Sergey and me.

Under some circumstances using task isolation can cause deadlocks.
Previously, our task pool implementation would run all tasks in an
isolated region. Now using task isolation is optional and can be
turned on/off for individual task pools.
Task pools that spawn new tasks recursively should never enable
task isolation. There is a new check that finds these cases at runtime.
Right now this check is disabled, so that this commit is a pure refactor.
It will be enabled in an upcoming commit.
This fixes T88598.

This patch turns off the creation of file thumbnails for files that are
offline and therefore not fully-present on the file system. These types
of files - typically cloud-based or stored on slower backup media -
only have their contents available when actually accessed, at which
point there will be a short delay. If we allow thumbnail creation in
this state then all offline files in a folder will be downloaded just
to view a listing, which can take a long time.
Files in this state will instead get a more generic thumbnail that
still indicates file type (icon in center) and that shows offline state
will a special icon at the bottom-left.
Although this currently only affects Windows users, most of this patch
is platform-agnostic. So other platforms inherit this behavior if they
only add FILE_ATTR_OFFLINE attribute to files in this state.

Add operator `FILE_OT_view_selected` to the file browser (and thus also
to the asset browser) that scrolls selected files into view.
This includes the active file, even though it is not selected. In
certain cases the active file can loose its selected state (clicking
next to it, or refreshing the asset browser), but then it's still shown
in the right-hand sidebar. Because of this, I found it important to take
it into account when scrolling.
This also includes a change to the keymaps:
- Blender default: {key NUMPAD_PERIOD} is removed from the "reload"
operator, and assigned to the new "view selected files" operator. The
reload operator was already doubly bound, and now {key R} is the only
remaining hotkey for it.
- Industry compatible: {key F} is assigned to the new "view selected
files" operator. This is consistent with the other "view selected"
operators in other editors.

Add an RNA function `activate_asset_by_id(asset_id: ID, deferred: bool)`
to the File Browser space type, which intended to be used to activate an
asset's entry as identified by its `ID *`. Calling it changes the active
asset, but only if the given ID can actually be found.
The activation can be deferred (by passing `deferred=True`) until the
next refresh operation has finished. This is necessary when an asset has
just been added, as it will be loaded by the filebrowser in a background
job.

The "Current File" asset library didn't get refreshed after the data-block name
changed. But rather than entirely refreshing the file list, or doing possibly
problematic partial refreshes, reference the data-block name directly, so a
simple redraw gets the new name displayed.

Otherwise it would just show empty space where the icon is supposed to
be.
Unfortunately this icon is upscaled quite a bit and doesn't look too
great. Would be good to improve but not a high priority.
Storing the asset library reference by name wasn't a good idea, I thought it
would work with a careful fallback, but it's easier to just use the index
instead. So change to using indices, make sure fallback methods work reliable
and make sure the file list is updated when asset libraries are removed.
I added a new notifier type for the latter, I prefer not using file notifiers
in asset-library/preferences code. We have more than enough values for
notifiers left.
The Asset Browser will be a sub-editor of the File Browser. This prepares the
File Browser code for that.
**File-Lists**
* Support loading assets with metadata read from external files into the
file-list.
* New main based file-list type, for the "Current File" asset library.
* Refresh file-list when switching between browse modes or asset libraries.
* Support empty file-lists (asset library with no assets).
* Store file previews as icons, so scripts can reference them via icon-id. See
previous commit.
**Space Data**
* Introduce "browse mode" to differeniate between file and asset browsing.
* Add `FileAssetSelectParams` to `SpaceFile`, with `FileSelectParams` as base.
Makes sure data is separated between asset and file browsing when switching
between them. The active params can be obtained through
`ED_fileselect_get_active_params()`.
* `FileAssetSelectParams` stores the currently visible asset library ID.
* Introduce file history abstraction so file and asset browsing can keep a
separate history (previous and next directories).
**General**
* Option to only show asset data-blocks while file browsing (not exposed here).
* Add "active_file" context member, so scripts can get and display info about
the active file.
* Add "active_id" context member, so `ED_OT_lib_id_load_custom_preview` can set
a custom ID preview. (Only for "Current File" asset library)
* Expose some of `FileDirEntry` in RNA as (non-editable). That way scripts can
obtain name, preview icon and asset-data.

* Avoid direct access to `SpaceFile.params`, use a getter instead. This matters
because once the asset-browser changes are in, there will be an alternative
selection parameter object. The getter can return the correct one.
* Rename the function to ensure the parameters. The old name
`ED_fileselect_get_params()` wasn't a mere getter, it would create the
parameters if necessary. Now we have an actual getter, so better be clear.
* In some instances, I replaced the old "get" function with the new mere
getter. So the ensure logic is called less often. However, in these cases we
should be able to assume the selection parameters were created already as
part of the editor creation routine.
The term "active" in the new function names may seem a bit odd in the current
context, but that is a preparation for the Asset Browser merge as well. Like
said, there will be two file selection parameter objects in the space.
`WM_operator_properties_filesel()` allows C operators to set a display or sort
type for the File Browser to use. But the File Browser would always override
that because of an invalid `_is_set()` check. (The operators don't actually set
the value, they only set the property's default value.)
The only operator affected by this is "Recover Auto Save". It is supposed to
show a vertical list ordered chronologically. It used settings from the
previous File Browser usage before this patch.
Operators using the File Browser should generally use
`FILE_DEFAULTDISPLAY`/`FILE_SORT_DEFAULT` now, except if they have a reason not
to. See comments at their definition.
----
This makes it so operators that set a different display or sort type
don't change the sort or display type for the next File Browser operation.
So using "Recover Auto Save" entirely isolates display and sort type from other
operations.
