Makes sure that the active item of a tree never has collapsed parent
items, which can be confusing if it happens. E.g. for the asset catalogs
UI, the active catalog decides which assets are visible. Having it
hidden while being the main factor deciding which assets are visible is
quite confusing.
I think it makes sense to have this at the UI Tree-View level, rather
than doing it manually in the asset catalog code for example. Seems like
something you'd commonly want. We can make it optional in the API if
needed.
Renamed the `set_active()` function to make clear that it is more than a
mere setter.
Somehow, the file from T71329 has an empty curve profile. While that may
be a problem in itself, it's reasonable to avoid asserts or crashes when
loading or drawing such a CurveProfile. This commit just makes sure the
table always has a single vertex, and adds some checks in drawing code.
With this it is possible to select any number of assets in the Asset
Browser and drag them into catalogs. The assets will be moved to that
catalog then. However, this will only work in the "Current File" asset
library, since that is the only library that allows changing assets,
which is what's done here.
While dragging assets over the tree row, a tooltip is shown explaining
what's going to happen.
In preparation to this, the new UI tree-view API was already extended
with custom drop support, see 4ee2d9df42.
----
Changes here to the `wmDrag` code were needed to support dragging multiple
assets. Some of it is considered temporary because a) a proper #AssetHandle
design should replace some ugly parts of this patch and b) the multi-item
support in `wmDrag` isn't that great yet. The entire API will have to be
written anyway (see D4071).

Adds an easy way to add drop support for tree-view rows.
Most of the work is handled by the tree-view UI code. The tree items can
simply override a few functions (`can_drop()`, `on_drop()`,
`drop_tooltip()`) to implement their custom drop behavior.
While dragging over a tree-view item that can be dropped into/onto, the
item can show a custom and dynamic tooltip explaining what's gonna
happen on drop.
This isn't used yet, but will soon be for asset catalogs.
See documentation here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Interface/Views#Further_Customizations
The Asset Browser now displays a tree with asset catalogs in the left
sidebar.
This replaces the asset categories. It uses the new UI tree-view API
(https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Interface/Views#Tree-View).
Buttons are displayed for adding and removing of catalogs. Parent items
can be collapsed, but the collapsed/uncollapsed state is not stored in
files yet.
Note that edits to catalogs (e.g. new or removed catalogs) are only
written to the asset library's catalog definition files when saving a
.blend.
In the "Current File" asset library, we try to show asset catalogs from
a parent asset library, or if that fails, from the directory the file is
stored in. See adaf4f56e1.
There are plenty of TODOs and smaller glitches to be fixed still. Plus a
UI polishing pass should be done.
Important missing UI features:
* Dragging assets into catalogs (WIP, close to being ready).
* Renaming catalogs
* Proper handling of catalogs in the "Current File" asset library
(currently not working well).
The "Current File" asset library is especially limited still. Since this
is the only place where you can assign assets to a catalog, this makes
the catalogs very cumbersome in general. To assign an asset to a
catalog, one has to manually copy the Catalog ID (a random hash like
number) to the asset metadata through a temporary UI in the Asset
Browser Sidebar. These limitations should be addressed over the next few
days, they are high priority.

Link/append code needs proper access to scene/view3d data to handle

Note that this is a temporary hack more than a proper fix, which would require

Also note that this will not handle 'properly' (i.e. as user would

the explicitely appended object will be dropped to the nes location, the
others will remain at their original coordinates.

Labels in headers reserved space for an icon even when no icon was used.
This is caused by the shared function ui_text_icon_width adding 1.5x
a buttons X-units width the the width of the string.
Menu buttons detected this and subtracted the extra padding.
Instead of adding the same workaround for labels,
add ui_text_icon_width_ex that takes a padding argument.
Add presets for 'default', 'compact' and 'none' to avoid duplicating
padding values.
This allows removal of hard-coded label scaling for the add-object tool.
This follows three main targets:
* Make creation of new tree UIs easy.
* Groundwork to generalize tree UIs (so e.g. Outliner, animation
channels, asset catalogs and spreadsheet data-sets don't have to
re-implement basic tree UI code) or even other data-view UIs.
* Better separate data and UI state. E.g. with this, tree-item selection
or the open/collapsed state can be stored on the UI level, rather than
in data. (Asset Catalogs need this, storing UI state info in them is
not an option.)
In addition, the design should be well testable and could even be
exposed to Python.
Note that things will likely change in master still. E.g. the actually
resulting UI isn't very nice visually yet.

Draw thumbnails as strip overlay. This works for movie and image strips.
To draw thumbnails, this overlay has to be enabled and strips must be
tall enough.
The thumbnails are loaded from source file using separate thread and
stored in cache.
Drawing code uses only images stored in cache, and if any is missing,
background rendering job is started. If job can not render thumbnail,
to prevent endless loop of creating job for missing image it sets
`SEQ_FLAG_SKIP_THUMBNAILS` bit of `Sequence` flag.
To prevent visual glitches during timeline panning and zooming, `View2D`
flag `V2D_IS_NAVIGATING` is implemented. If bit is set, drawing code
will look for set of evenly distributed thumbnails that should be
guaranteed to exist and also set of previously displayed thumbnails.
Due to volatile nature of cache these thumbnails can be missing anyway,
in which case no new thumbnails will be drawn for particular strip.
Cache capacity is limited to 5000 thumbnails and performs cleanup of
non visible images when limit is reached.

Expose a key-map preference "Fallback Tool (RMB)",
disabled by default.
The right mouse button uses the fallback tool
(currently visible selection tool in the toolbar),
instead of always tweaking.
When any selection tool is active, right mouse always tweaks.
To enable fallback selection on RMB, set the "Right Mouse Select Action"
to "Selection Tool".
Internal changes:
- Add fall-back key-maps, separate key-maps needed for when the tool is
run as a fall-back. This is needed so RMB-select can support fall-back
tools, so left-mouse can be used when it's the active tool and RMB
can be used as a fall-back action when another tool is active.
- Add options field to tools so tools without gizmos can enable the
full-back tool keymap.
- Support multiple key-maps for keymap handlers.
- Fall-back keymaps now co-exist with the tool-keymaps.
So both keymaps may be active at once - using different mouse buttons.
When gizmos are in use, a highlighted gizmo prioritizes the
tool-keymap over the fall-back keymap.

since `AssetHandle` does not have a `name_property`
(`RNA_def_struct_name_property`), and the UIList is just using the
default `uilist_filter_items_default` it simply cannot filter on names
(`RNA_struct_name_get_alloc` wont succeed).
Adding a name_property also wont work since `AssetHandle` inherits
`PropertyGroup` (which already sets name_property).
So this adds a (temporary) hack exception for RNA_AssetHandle in
uilist_filter_items_default until the design of `AssetHandle` progresses

Change KeyMapItem.alt/ctrl/shift/oskey to integer types,
where -1 is used to ignore the modifier when matching key-map items.
It was only possible to set all modifiers to -1 at once from RNA

Afterwards individual modifiers could be set back to true/false.
Although these key-map items could not be exported/imported.
Exposing the values directly avoids the need for cumbersome workarounds.
Support waiting for input so operators that depend on the
cursor location are usable from menus / buttons.
Use an operator type flag which the user interface code checks for,
waiting for input when run from a menu item.
This patch only supports this feature, there are no functional changes.
The motivation for this change is discoverability since some actions
were either hidden or broken when accessed from menus
(where the behavior of the operator depended on the menu location).
In general, waiting for input is *not* an efficient way to access tools,
however there are over 50 operators with a "wait_for_input" property
so this isn't introducing a new kind of interaction,
rather exposing this in a way that does not need to be hard-coded into
each operator, or having modal callbacks added for the sole purpose
of waiting for input.
Besides requiring boiler plate code using a "wait_for_input" property
has the added down-side of preventing key shortcuts from showing.
Only the menu items will enable the property,
causing them not to match key-map items.

Various changes to reduce risk of out of bounds errors in utf8 seeking.
- Remove BLI_str_prev_char_utf8
This function could potentially scan past the beginning of a string.
Use BLI_str_find_prev_char_utf8 instead which takes a limiting
string start argument.
- Swap arguments for BLI_str_find_prev_char_utf8 so the stepping
argument is first and the limiting argument is last.
This matches BLI_str_find_next_char_utf8.
- Change behavior of these functions to return it the start or end
pointers instead of NULL, which complicated use of these functions
to calculate offsets.
Callers that need to check if the limits were reached can compare
the return value with the start/end pointers.
- Return 'const char *' from these functions
so they don't remove const from the input arguments.
Solution similar to the one seen in {rBb94ab93dfb82}.

Delay is useful when scrolling through long lists, such as in the

This adds a setting to enable data caching, and another one to set the
maximum cache size in megabytes.
When caching is enabled we load the data for the entire animation in

render is aborted.
When caching is disabled, we simply load the data for the current frame
in memory.

This patch exposes the Cycles Alembic Procedural through the MeshSequenceCache
modifier in order to use and test it from Blender.
To enable it, one has to switch the render feature set to experimental and
activate the Procedural in the modifier. An Alembic Procedural is then
created for each CacheFile from Blender set to use the Procedural, and each
Blender object having a MeshSequenceCache modifier is added to list of objects
of the right procedural.
The procedural's parameters derive from the CacheFile's properties which are
already exposed in the UI through the modifier, although more Cycles specific
options might be added in the future.
As there is currently no cache controls and since we load all the data at the
beginning of the render session, the procedural is only available during
viewport renders at the moment. When an Alembic procedural is rendered, data
from the archive are not read on the Blender side.
If a Cycles render is not active and the CacheFile is set to use the Cycles Procedural,
bounding boxes are used to display the objects in the scene as a signal that the
objects are not processed by Blender anymore. This is standard in other DCCs.
However this does not reduce the memory usage from Blender as the Alembic data
was already loaded either during an import or during a .blend file read.
This is mostly a hack to test the Cycles Alembic procedural until we have a
better Blender side mechanism for letting renderers load their own geometry,
which will be based on import and export settings on Collections (T68933).
