As of this release we're able to navigate with the keyboard in the filebrowsing area. The button caption is changing to an appropriate string whenever a new entry is selected. In @Severins original code a different method was used to determine if a directory was choosen or not, but this got lost while merging the filebrowser rework.
Thanks to @mont29 for review!
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. :)
- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
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.
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

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 :)
We must take kerning into account everywhere! Note this will disappear in upcomming filebrowser
refactor anyway.
Reported through IRC by Pablo (venomgfx), thanks.
We can now scale from 32px up to 256px (default has been upgraded to 128px).
Thumbnails are now generated as 'large', i.e. 256px.
Previews are scaled up if necessary, unlike icons (for folders or files without preview images).
Note that .blend thumbnails themselves remain in 128px for now (they are embeded in .blend files,
not quite sure we want to make them four times bigger...).
Patch by DMS (Yaron Dames), with final edits by myself.

Tweak hack of `file_draw_string()` (there may be better solution, but not worth
spending time on this, the whole filebrowser drawing code is to be rewritten anyway).
D1002 by @plasmasolutions, with own refactoring.
Note, needed to do a bad-level call here (IMB -> BLF)
Also can't use the BLF API directly because its not thread-safe.
So keep the function isolated (blf_thumbs.c).
This reverts commit 4ca4f04c75.
Was running an fs-stat on redraw, on every file! (every mouse motion!).
Could become very slow on network-fs
also caused crash (T43631)
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.

For linking/appending, .blends get the type S_IFDIR added which prevents
the size from being drawn. BLI_is_dir gets the type from the OS so it's
better suited for this case.
Reported by @sergey.
Both were maked as temp, but used often.
Now pass uiFontStyle to both, rename UI_draw_string to UI_fontstyle_draw_simple,
since its a variant of UI_fontstyle_draw that skips shadow, align... etc.
Make the UI API more consistent and reduce confusion with some naming.
mainly:
- API function calls
- enum values
some internal static functions have been left for now
To ensure there's space for more than a few characters in the rename text fields of the File Browser, we now use a width relative to the column width (for all display modes).
Includes some edits from @campbellbarton - thanks for this!
There is a bunch of internal refactoring going on too:
* No longer use operators to handle these directory and file fields, only makes
things more complicated than they should be.
* Handle autocomplete partial/full match deeper in the UI code
* Directory field still does not keep focus, that's for another time to fix,
you can already do pretty quick keyboard only navigation with the file field.

This adds functionality to tab-autocomplete folders in the file browser file
field, and the ability to autocomplete .blend files and their sub folders while
linking. If only one match of a blend or a folder is found, it is opened, which
applies to wildcards in the file field now.
