Note: We still change it to the collection we are directly isolating/making
visible and its parents (in the case of isolating). But no longer its children.
Feedback and discussion on D4011. The motivation is that if we don't keep those
locked the disable state becomes useless.
This is a request by the studio here to make it possible to see how
many samples were used to render a specific shot or a frame. It is a
bit more tricky than simply stamping number of samples from a scene
since rendering is happening in multiple ranges of samples.
This change makes it so Cycles saves configured number of samples for
the specific view layer, and also stores start sample and number of
samples when rendering only a subrange of all samples.
The format used is "cycles.<view_layer_name>.><field>", which allows
to have information about all layers in a multi-layer EXR file.
Ideally we can store simplified "cycles.<field>" if we know that there
is only one render layer in the file, but detecting this is somewhat
tricky since Cycles operates on an evaluated scene which always have
single view layer.
The metadata is shown in the Metadata panels for clip, image and
sequencer spaces.

Need to synchronize simulated frame back to original object.
Solves the lag during transformation, but amount of floppyness is
lower for some reason. Final animated object behaves the same as
in older Blender though.
This complicated handling of undo steps in a generic way
especially switching between undo systems that stored data to ones
that accumulated changes.
Now each undo system must treat it's steps as check-point,
internally it can apply/rewind changes.
This commit also fixes projection paint where the object mode wasn't
following the undo steps.
Now collection and objects can be either:
* Disabled for all the view layers.
* Hidden for a view layer but not necessarily for all others.
* Visible for a view layer but not necessarily for all others.
Regarding icons: Whatever we decide to use for the "Hidden for all view
layers" needs to be a toggle-like icon. Because when viewing "Scenes"
instead of "View Layer" in the outliner we should be able to edit the
collection "Hidden for all the view layers" as an on/off option.
The operators are accessible via a Visibility context menu or shortcuts:
* Ctrl + Click: Isolate collection (use shift to extend).
* Alt + Click: Disable collection.
* Shift + Click: Hide/Show collection and its children (objects and collections)
Things yet to be tackled:
* Object outliner context menu can also get a Visibility sub-menu.
* Get better icons for viewport enable/disable.
Note:
* When using emulate 3 button mouse alt+click is used for 2d panning.
In this case users have to use the operator from the menu.

Thanks to the reviewers and William Reynish and Julien Kasper in

[re-committing]
We still control this in the viewport collections visibility menu. But
now we are actually changing the visibility of the collections, not of
the objects.
If a collection is indirectly invisible (because one of its parents are
invisible) we gray it out.
Also if you click directly in the collection names, it "isolates" the
collection by hiding all collections, and showing the direct parents and
all the children of the selected collection.
Development Note:
Right now I'm excluding the hidden collections from the depsgraph.
Thus the need for tagging relations to update.
If this proves to be too slow, we can change.
When generating a mesh from a curve object, do not generate temp objects
and curves in main, but rather as 'localized' copies.
This is cleaner, and might add a marginal speed-up in some cases (like
rendering thousands of curve objects), since we save some processing.
Note that this is the function behind py API's `Object.to_mesh()` too.
Use first combined pass if possible. Is not ideal but better than
showing completely empty image.
Also, covers quite a lot of usecases when movie clip editor is
used to review animation render of single-layer renders but with
multiple passes.
Quite straightforward: first, convert metadata from file to
stamp data which is stored in the render result, and then
for every requested layer/pass use that as a metadata.
Noted those as missing in XXX comments some time ago, running again on
that code I still see no reason for this missing feature, so now when
doing a full scene copy, including duplication of Freestyl's linestyles
and scene's greasepencil data, their potential Actions will also be
properly duplicated (like it was already the case for world, and scene
itself).
This is a slightly more risky commit, as it is very difficult to fathom
all that may happen when localazing IDs. Would not expect any issue
though.
Note that a big TODO remain to refactor fully that ID localization
process (for 'shading IDs'), it's still doing pretty much same thing as
regular out-of-main copies, but the infamous ntree topic makes it
delicate to handle...
Turns out most of our 'local working copy' cases can use same set of
flags.
Note that this commit adds LIB_ID_COPY_CACHES to all our local meshes
copying, however this is no-op since that flag is unused during mesh
copying... We may want to add another set of flags without that one at
some point, but for now it would not be useful imho.
No local work copy is expected to need preview data, at least it should
not. Part of copy flags cleanup, done in separate commit in case
something goes wrong here...
Those two first sets of flags should represent some common use cases.
The goal here is to reduce verbosity of calls to BKE_id_copy_ex, and
help make it more obvious the 'common behaviours' of ID copying across
codebase.
This feature is intended only for testing,
to automate simulating user input.
- Enabled by '--enable-event-simulate'.
- Disables handling all real input events.
- Access by calling `Window.event_simulate(..)`
- Disabling `bpy.app.use_event_simulate`
to allow handling real events (can only disable).
Currently only mouse & keyboard events work well,
NDOF, IME... etc could be added as needed.
See D4286 for example usage.
* Use simple default view transform for color pickers, as Filmic does not work
well for all types of colors. We better handle this with an option and tagging
of colors as emissive or albedo like.
* For solid/workbench we also no longer use Filmic, as there is not enough contrast
and it's not really needed since this is not physically based lighting.
* For lookdev always take into account the view transform and look. Other view
settings like exposure are only taken into account if scene lighting is used,
since these are often dependent on scene light intensity.
