The "Operator Cheat Sheet" operator collects info about all operators, and as
part of that executes the callbacks to create dynamic enums. The callback to
enumerate the Outliner ID operations depends on Outliner context. If this isn't
available, it can just return a context-less version of the enum, that is, a
static enum with all available items. This was already done in case no context
is available at all.
Recursive restrict selection (hide/selectable flag) & renaming
edit-bones both used the active object, even when bones for another
non-active object were being operated on.
Bone renaming would rename a bone in the active object
(if that name exists).
This is basically done by ignoring override operations from old override
affecting ID pointer properties, when the new (destination) one is not
NULL.
Fix T86501: New object added to overridden collection doesn't show up in linking file on Resync.
This is more of a work-around actually, since there is no real way to
fix the issue in a fully automated and consistent way, it is caused by
older blender files being saved with 'broken' overrides.
WARNING: This cannot ensure that some purposedly edited/overridden ID
pointer properties won't be lost in the process.
When adding a notifier, `reference` data can be passed. The notifier system
uses this to filter out listeners, for example if data of a scene changes,
windows showing a different scene won't get the notifiers sent to their
listeners.
For the `NC_SPACE` notifiers, a number of places also passed the space as
`reference`, but that wasn't used at all. The notifier would still be sent to
all listeners in all windows (and the listeners didn't use it either). Causing
some unnecessary updates (e.g. see ed2c4825d3).
With this commit, passing a space will make sure the notifier is only sent to
that exact space. Some code seems to already have expected that to be the case.
However there were some cases that passed the space as `reference` without
reason, which would break with this commit (meaning they wouldn't redraw or
update correctly).
Corrected these so they don't pass the space anymore.
Rather than letting the `TreeElementAnimData` constructor take an ID from which
we get the animation-data based on an assumption on how it's stored, let the
constructor take the animation-data directly. That way we further centralize
the assumptions on the data passed to the element creation to
`tree_element_create()`.
The following commit will add a comment explaining the plan to entirely get rid
of those assumptions in the future.
There was an implicit assumption that tree element types using the new code
design set their name on creation. Use an assert to make this explicit. See
f59ff9e03a, which was an error because of this broken assumption.
Caused by 2e221de4ce in combination with 4292bb060d.
In the former I forgot to set the name for NLA actions in the new code design,
in the latter I made it an assumtion that tree element types using the new
design set the name.
The following commit will make this assumption explicit with an assert.
Splits up `tree_element_id.cc`/`tree_element_id.hh`.
If we move all ID types into this one file, it will become rather big. Smaller
files are probably easier to work with. We could still keep small classes like
`TreeElementIDLibrary` in the general file, don't mind really, but this creates
separate files for that too.
These files can contain more than just the "base" tree element types. E.g. the
class for the view-layer base element can also contain the class for the
view-layer elements. Otherwise we'd end up with like >50 files for the
individual types, most of them very small.
So just give the files a general name and put the related classes in there.
Continuation of work in 2e221de4ce, 249e4df110 and 3a907e7425.
Adds new tree-element classes for the scene-ID, scene collections, scene
objects, and the view layers base.
There is some more temporary stuff in here, which can be removed once we're
further along with the porting. Noted that in comments.
Continuation of work in 2e221de4ce and 249e4df110 .
This prepares things so we can start porting the individual ID types to
the new code design. I already added some code for library IDs, because
they need some special handling during construction, which I didn't want
to break.
The `AbstractTreeElement::isExpandValid()` check can be removed once
types were ported and can be assumed to have a proper `expand()`
implemenation.
Also makes `TreeElementGPencilLayer` `final` which I forgot in
e0442a955b.
Mistake in aa3a4973a3. The expanded `ELEM()` check would include
`0 && te->idcode != 0`, which always evaluates to `false`/`0`. That
wouldn't cause the asset to fail, but the `te->idcode` part would never
be checked.
Fixed the error and cleaned up the check against "0" with a check
against `TSE_SOME_ID`, see b9e54566e3.
Code to check if the Outliner tree-element type was the general ID one
would always check against "0" (explicity or even implicitly). For
somebody unfamiliar with the code this is very confusing. Instead the
value should be given a name, e.g. through an enum.
Adds `TSE_SOME_ID` as the "default" ID tree-element type. Other types
may still represent IDs, as I explained in a comment at the definition.
There may also still be cases where the type is checked against "0". I
noted in the comment that such cases should be cleaned up if found.
Continuation of work in 2e221de4ce and 249e4df110. Now the tree-element
types have to be ported one by one. This is probably the most straight forward
type to port.
The `MAX_LIBARRAY` define was an annoying doublon to the `INDEX_ID_MAX` enum value
now defined in `DNA_ID.h`, and it is no more useful.
And comments were somewhat outdated. Also added an explanation about
chosen order for the `INDEX_ID_<IDTYPE>` order.
In Blender, we used to use the term 'draw' to refer to information
displayed to the user. For version 2.80, it was decided to change these
instances to 'display' instead. This was to avoid the ambiguity between
end-user drawing tools and display options.
From the Oxford English Dictionary:
- Draw: produce (a picture or diagram) by making lines and marks on
paper with a pencil, pen, etc.
- Display: show (data or an image) on a computer, television, or
other screen.
Therefore, we should use draw when referring to drawing tools for
making marks, but use display when referring to information
shown/displayed to the user. From a user POV, the computer displays
certain information, whereas the user draws a mark.
Apparently this change was not implemented consistently, so this patch
changes all remaining relevant instances of "draw".

Currently when you open an RNA collection search button, like a
vertex group selector, the search filter isn't applied until you
start typing, in order to display every option at the start.
Otherwise they wouldn't be visible, since the search filter would
run for the current text.
Currently this check happens in one place, but it relies on the
`changed` value of `uiBut`. This is fine in the interface directory,
but anywhere else it would require exposing `uiBut.changed`, which
is probably too low-level to expose.
The solution is adding an `is_first` argument to the search callbacks,
which is nice for a few reasons:
- They work at a higher level of abstraction, meaning they don't
have to worry about how exactly to tell if this is the first
search.
- It makes it easier to do special behavior when the search menu
is first opened.
- Then, obviously, it makes that state accessible without including
`interface_intern.h`.

"Shift to parent" does not make any sense for collections since they
don't have parenting like objects. This commit just adds a simple check
for whether the first drag ID is an object before displaying
that part of the message.

The Purge operator to remove unused IDs can now also remove 'indirectly
unused' data-blocks (those only used by unused ones, recursively).
It can also now only operate on linked, or on local data.
All those options are exposed in the `File -> Cleanup` main menu.
The behavior of the `Purge` button in the Outliner remains unchanged,
needs some UI/UX design task for that.
This concerns currently only collections (`master_collection` of scenes)
and root node trees. It removes the matching type-specific helpers
(`BKE_collection_master_scene_search` and `BKE_node_tree_find_owner_ID`).
No functional change expected here.
NOTE: Current implementation of `owner_get` is far from optimal, we
could probably do it better, see {T69169}.
NOTE: While it could also have it, shapekeys IDTypeInfo was left out of
this change for now. Mainly because it sould not be used currently, and
we ultimately want to demote shape keys from ID status anyway.
Previously the same functions were used to both set and get the active
state for outliner tree elements. This has quite a few problems.
- It's hard to tell when data is changed or simply read
- It prevents using `const`
- The code is full of if statements, making it longer and less readable.
This commit replaces the `tree_element_type_active` and
`tree_element_active` functions with `_get` and `_set` variants. One
has const arguments and returns the active state, the other deals only
with setting the state. While this refactor results in slightly more
lines of code, the result is much better in my opinion.
This commit also removes unused variables from arguments of the affected
functions.

The "Hide Collection" operators assigned to the number keys in edit mode
trigger a redraw of the outliner, but as an optimization, they do *not*
trigger a rebuild of the tree.
This optimization is valid because unlike the collection exclude toggle,
the heirarchy is not affected by collection visibility. However, it means
that currently you must trigger a rebuild to get the correct "grayed out"
status after using the operator.
Rather than trigger a rebuild in this case to solve the bug, this patch
moves the decision for whether to gray out the text of a tree element
to the draw step rather than the build step. This means that any change
to the corresponding properties doesn't require a full tree rebuild.
Note that changing the "hide_viewport" property from the outliner still
causes a tree rebuild. I think that's because of the checks in
`outliner_collection_set_flag_recursive_fn`.
That could be optimized in the future.

When dropping an asset somewhere, it is appended and then a drop operation is
called to actually add it to the scene based on current context. If this drop
operation fails, the appended data-block is now still in the .blend. The user
may not notice and not expect this.
Instead idea is to rollback any changes done by dropping code if the operation
fails, namely removing the appended data-block again.
Adds a new `cancel()` callback which is called if the drop operator returns
`OPERATOR_CANCELLED` to drop-boxes and a generic function to deal with assets
on drop failure.
Also removes the `free_id_on_error` property of the `NODE_OT_add_group`
operator, which was used as ad-hoc solution to get this same behavior.
Removes values from various Outliner context menu enums that were unused.
Many of these had been commented out for years. Also deletes some
unused code related to the removed enums. No functional changes.
The render visibility column in the outliner should be enabled by
default. This change makes it more obvious which objects will be
rendered which can be misleading when only viewport visibility toggles
are shown by default. This commit enables the render visibility column
in all existing and new Outliner editors.

These weren't used since ages. Comment out the DNA define (value shouldn't be
reused to avoid compatibility breakage) and remove icon code for the types.
