Added "Extend" flag to border select operators for editors:
- UV Editor
- Sequencer
- NLA
- Info Space
- Graph Editor
- File Browser
- Clip Editor
- Action Editor
- Channels and markers regions
Can be used for custom keymaps.

No need to deselect all channels when doing the select left/right operator,
since we don't replace the selection afterwards with anything useful. This would
be a problem when the "Only Show Selected" option is enabled (as it is by
default), as this results in the curves being worked on disappearing from view.
F-Curves though will still get deselected as a result of the code to deselect
keyframes. Will need to review whether this is still a good idea (original
intention was so that only curves with keyframes selected would remain
selected).

Channels can now be used as "animation containers" to be filtered
further to obtain a set of subsidiary channels (i.e. F-Curves
associated with some summary channel).
The main use of this is that object and scene summary channels can now
be defined without defining the filtering logic in three different
places - once for channel filtering, once for drawing keyframes in
action editor, and once for editing these keyframes.
An indirect consequence of this, is that the "Only selected channels"
option in Timeline will now result in only the keyframes for a
selected bones getting shown (when enabled), instead of all keyframes
for the active object. This was requested by Lee during Durian, and is
something which has only become possible as a result of this commit.
* This (big) commit is aimed at cleaning up the filtering flags used
by the animation channel filtering code. The list of filtering flags
has been growing a bit "organically" since it's humble origins for use
in the Action Editor some 3 years (IIRC) ago now during a weekend
hackathon. Obviously, some things have ended up tacked on, while
others have been the product of other flag options. Nevertheless, it
was time for a bit of a spring clean!
* Most notably, one area where the system outgrown its original design
for the Action Editor was in terms of the "visibility" filtering flag
it was using. While in the Action Editor the concept of what channels
to include was strictly dictated by whether the channel hierarchy
showed it, in the Graph Editor this is not always the case. In other
words, there was a difference between the data the channels
represented being visible and the channels for that data being visible
in the hierarchy.
Long story short: this lead to bug report [#27076] (and many like it),
where if you selected an F-Curve, then collapsed the Group it was in,
then even after selecting another F-Curve in another Group, the
original F-Curve's properties would still be shown in the Properties
Region. The good news is that this commit fixes this issue right away!
* More good news will follow, as I start checking on the flag usage of
other tools, but I'm committing this first so that we have a stable
reference (of code similar to the old buggy stuff) on which we can
fall back to later to find bugs (should they pop up).
Anyways, back to the trenches!
* Removed list-expanders for Materials, Textures, and Particles. So
instead of:
Object
Materials
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
we now have
Object
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
This makes it faster+easier to get to these items. If you don't want
to see all of these, you can still use the data-block filters from the
header to hide these.
* Internal cleanup - removed "owner" and "ownertype" settings from
bAnimListElem. The purpose of these was muddled, and more of a hassle
to maintain than doing anything useful - it was only really used for
the stuff above.
* Removed need for "sa->spacedata.first" casts all over the show for
animation editor tools which needed access to editor data. This can
now be retrieved directly.
- Pose Propagate and Pose Sliding tools now work in the same way as
Pose Library previewing, with regards to selections. If some bones are
selected, then only those will be affected. But if no bones are
selected, then the whole rig gets affected.
- Added a "On Selected Markers" option, which only propagates poses to
frames where there's a selected marker. Animators can combine this
with a "select markers whose name contains..." operator to get an
effective way to manage hand-keyed walk cycles, etc.

This commit separates out this selection functionality out of the
click-selection operator into a separate operator, so that hotkeys and
menu entries can be assigned to it.
This is based on an idea+patch (#23738) submitted by Torsten Rupp
(rupp), though I've ultimately decided not to go with the suggested
implementation as I don't think this fits that well under the "column"
select operator.
Todo: Graph Editor support will be coming shortly...
that used markers. I might've missed a few still, but at least a few
more cases will work now
- Accidentally broke keyframe selection on group channels in gpencil
commit, after misreading a call name.
This commit restores some basic functionality for retiming Grease
Pencil sketches. Some of the functionality that existed before still
hasn't been restored (namely snap/mirror tools as well as copy+paste),
though it should be possible to use this for basic retiming and
sketch-frame management again.
- There's still a lot of work required to get this up to the standard
of the rest of the animation editor code, as some of this code was
originally just hacked in based on the old-style code.
- Work is already required to not have to directly access the main db
global to get the list of Grease Pencil datablocks to show, but that
can come along with pending cleanups of the filtering code.
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
This was caused by the multi-user data appearing multiple times in the channel list. Now most editing functions filter out duplicates before doing anything to prevent these problems.
Hopefully the additional cost of filtering the entire list an extra time won't be too much of a speed/mem hit...
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
This commit adds a few more execution contexts for operators, given the increasing tendency for some special regiontypes to exist within areas that must have their own set of special operators.
Examples of these include the "channel" operators in the Animation Editors (i.e. those in the 'Channels' menu), and the "Fit to Preview Window" operator for the Sequencer.
Previously, operators such as these would not function when clicked on from the menus, and they would not show the hotkeys they were mapped to.
Also, fixed a few operator definitions in the Animation Editors which were missing ot->prop defines. This meant that some hotkeys (mainly selection) were shown incorrectly in the menus.
This commit introduces the Select More/Less Operators (Ctrl +/-) for keyframes. This works like the ones for curves, by only selecting/deselecting keyframes lying in the same F-Curve. Inter F-Curve selection is not done by this operator. That is the job for another one.
This is especially useful for F-Curves set in the 0-1-0 pattern (i.e. 3 keyframes forming localised peaks), where the peaks can be selected by clicking on them individually, and immediately surrounding '0' values are selected too using "Select More".
Action Groups can now be expanded/collapsed in DopeSheet editors without the same thing happening in the Graph Editor, and visa versa.
This should help improve the workflow, since the channel lists are generally kept more compact in the DopeSheet, while they are more expanded in the Graph Editor, so less time is spent expanding/collapsing stuff. Also this should hopefully alleviate some of the errors from accidentally deleting and then having to restore channels that were not intended to be deleted.
Also, switched the order of the expand/collapse hotkeys (in the channels list region) for channels so that Ctrl +/- now expands/collapses selected channels only, while +/- expands/collapses all channels. This should make it more convenient to quickly open up all groups to select F-Curves for the Graph Editor.
The reverted code was just blindly restoring the old state of the keyframes; changes to selection state, value changes, handle type, etc. were overridden, and the cases where keyframes were deliberately retimed or otherwise were also ignored.
I'm not sure what problems these changes were meant to be solving, but will reassess the situation when I get more info on this.
and other operations the nla mapping would be applied to the curves, but not
restored correctly. The unmap function was not the inverse of the map function,
and it's not clear to me it's even possible to make it so due to repeat, so
now the old coordinates are backed up in a list and then restored afterwards.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
