If Preferences > Interface > Temporary Editors > File Browser is set to
"Maximized Area", "Load Custom Preview" in the Asset Browser would crash
after selecting the file.
1e799dd26e was important to get this issue fixed. This commit just
ensures the file-list is recreated correctly after closing the temporary
File Browser, so the custom preview operator can execute on valid
context.
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.

For the Asset Browser, it needs to be possible to drag assets into various
editors, which may not come from the current .blend file. In other words, the
dragging needs to work with just the asset metadata, without direct access to
the data-block itself.
Idea is simple: When dragging an asset, store the source file-path and
data-block name and when dropping, append the data-block. It uses existing drop
operators, but the function to get the dropped data-block is replaced with one
that returns the local data-block, or, in case of an external asset, appends
the data-block first.
The drop operators need to be adjusted to use this new function that respects
assets. With this patch it only works for dragging assets into the 3D view.
Note that I expect this to be a short-lived change. A refactor like D4071 is
needed to make the drag & drop system more future proof for assets and other
use cases.

This makes it possible to turn data-blocks into assets and back into normal
data-blocks. A core design decision made for the asset system is that not every
data-block should be an asset, because not every data-block is made for reuse.
Users have to explicitly mark data-blocks as assets.
Exposes "Mark Asset" and "Clear Asset" in Outliner context menus (currently ID
Data submenu) and button context menus. We are still not too happy with the
names, they may change.
This uses the new context members to pass data-blocks to operators, added in
af008f5532 and 0c1d476923.

* 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.

This patch adds support for AOVs in EEVEE. AOV Outputs can be defined in the
render pass tab and used in shader materials. Both Object and World based
shaders are supported. The AOV can be previewed in the viewport using the
renderpass selector in the shading popover.
AOV names that conflict with other AOVs are automatically corrected. AOV
conflicts with render passes get a warning icon. The reason behind this is that
changing render engines/passes can change the conflict, but you might not notice
it. Changing this automatically would also make the materials incorrect, so best
to leave this to the user.
**Implementation**
The patch adds a copies the AOV structures of Cycles into Blender. The goal is
that the Cycles will use Blenders AOV defintions. In the Blender kernel
(`layer.c`) the logic of these structures are implemented.
The GLSL shader of any GPUMaterial can hold multiple outputs (the main output
and the AOV outputs) based on the renderPassUBO the right output is selected.
This selection uses an hash that encodes the AOV structure. The full AOV needed
to be encoded when actually drawing the material pass as the AOV type changes
the behavior of the AOV. This isn't known yet when the GLSL is compiled.
**Future Developments**
* The AOV definitions in the render layer panel isn't shared with Cycles.
Cycles should be migrated to use the same viewlayer aovs. During a previous
attempt this failed as the AOV validation in cycles and in Blender have
implementation differences what made it crash when an aov name was invalid.
This could be fixed by extending the external render engine API.
* Add support to Cycles to render AOVs in the 3d viewport.
* Use a drop down list for selecting AOVs in the AOV Output node.
* Give user feedback when multiple AOV output nodes with the same AOV name
exists in the same shader.
* Fix viewing single channel images in the image editor [T83314]
* Reduce viewport render time by only render needed draw passes. [T83316]

As proposed in T74432 and already implemented in several commits,

Notes: While a bit more involved than rBf39fbb3e6046, this commit
remains fairly localized and non-intrusive.
It relies on some rather obscure and weird behaviors of our RNA code
though, a cleaner solution could be e.g. to add a tye to
`StructOrFunctionRNA`, so that we could properly 'rebuild' (re-cast) the
pointer to either `StructRNA` or `FunctionRNA` when needed in internal
code...

`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.
