So far all UI lists had to be defined in Python, this makes it possible
to define them in C as well. Note that there is a whole bunch of special
handling for the Python API that isn't there for C. I think most
importantly custom properties support, which currently can't be added
for C defined UI lists.
The upcoming asset view UI template will use this, which needs to be
defined in C.
Adds a new file `interface_template_list.cc`, which at this point is
mostly a dummy to have a place for the `ED_uilisttypes_ui()` definition.
I plan a separate cleanup to move the UI-list template to that file.
Makes it possible to create tooltips for UI list rows, which can be
filled in .py scripts, similar to how they can extend other menus. This
is used by the (to be committed) Pose Library add-on to display pose
operations (selecting bones of a pose, blending a pose, etc).
It's important that the Python scripts check if the UI list is the
correct one by checking the list ID.
For this to work, a new `bpy.context.ui_list` can be checked. For
example, the Pose Library add-on does the following check:
```
def is_pose_asset_view() -> bool:
# Important: Must check context first, or the menu is added for every kind of list.
list = getattr(context, "ui_list", None)
if not list or list.bl_idname != "UI_UL_asset_view" or list.list_id != "pose_assets":
return False
if not context.asset_handle:
return False
return True
```
For pose libraries, we need to be able to apply a pose whenever
activating (clicking) an item in the Pose Library asset view and blend
it by dragging (press & move). And since we want to allow Python scripts
to define what happens at least when activating an asset (so they can
define for example a custom "Apply" operator for preset assets), it
makes sense to just let them pass an operator name to the asset view
template. The template will be introduced in a following commit.
This is more of a first-pass refactor for the UI list template. More
improvements could be done, but that's better done separately. Main
purpose of this is to make the UI list code more manageable and ready
for the asset view template.
No functional changes for users.
* Split the huge template function into more manageable functions, with
clear names and a few structs with high coherency.
* Move runtime data management to the template code, with a free
callback called from BKE. This is UI data and should be managed at
that level.
* Replace boolean arguments with bit-flags (easily extendable and more
readable from the caller).
* Allow passing custom-data to the UI list for callbacks to access.
* Make list grip button for resizing optional.
* Put logic for generating the internal UI list identifier (stored in
.blends) into function. This is a quite important bit and a later
commit adds a related function. Good to have a clear API for this.
* Improve naming, comments, etc.
As part of further cleanups I'd like to move this to an own file.
Implements a basic, WIP version of the asset list. This is needed to
give the asset view UI template asset reading and displaying
functionality.
See:
* Asset System: Data Storage, Reading & UI Access - https://developer.blender.org/T88184
Especially the asset list internals should change. It uses the
File/Asset Browser's `FileList` API, which isn't really meant for access
from outside the File Browser. But as explained in T88184, it does a lot
of the stuff we currently need, so we (Sybren Stüvel and I) decided to
go this route for now. Work on a file-list rewrite which integrates well
with the asset system started in the `asset-system-filelist` branch.
Further includes:
* Operator to reload the asset list.
* New `bpy.types.AssetHandle.get_full_library_path()` function, which
gets the full path of the asset via the asset-list.
* Changes to preview loading to prevent the preview loading job to run
eternally for asset views. File Browsers have this issue too, but
should be fixed separately.
Also replace integer with bool in Ghost API when only used as boolean,
and uint8* with char* in Ghost API when variable is a string.

Blender did not support to input East Asian characters (Chinese, Japanese,
Korean) on macOS. This patch adds support for Japanese input, by implementing
the appropriate processing for the NSTextInputClient protocol.
Technical notes:
* The conversion candidate window is drawn by the input method program calling
`firstRectForCharacterRange`.
* The string before confirmation (called `composite` in blender) is handled in
the `setMarkedText` method called by the input method program.
* The string after confirmation (called `result` in the blender) is processed
in the `insertText` method called by the input method program.

Blender needs to tell the input method program where the conversion
candidate window is during Japanese and Chinese input.
In macOS, there are displays where the window size and the native pixel size
are different, so the candidate window may appear in an unnatural position.
This patch converts the cursor position x and y for matching macOS window
coordinate. On Windows, GHOST_GetNativePixelSize returns 1, so it has no effect.

This reverts commit rB3a48147b8ab92, and fixes the issues with linking
etc.
Change compared to previous buggy commit (rBf8d219dfd4c31) is that
new `BlendFileReadReports` reports are now passed to the lowest level
function generating the `FileData` (`filedata_new()`), which ensures
(and asserts) that all code using it does have a valid non-NULL pointer
to a `BlendFileReadReport` data.
Sorry for the noise, it's always when you think a change is trivial and
do not test it well enough that you end up doing those kind of

This patch improves the 3DView statistics overlay to show LOCAL stats
while in local view. This means the stats can vary between 3DViews and
the statusbar when views are in local view, but this gives a much more
accurate count of the objects, and their components, that you are
directly working with rather than just scene values.

This patch improves the positioning of child windows when on monitors
that are arranged vertically (any above any other). When calculating a
window position in Ghost coordinates from GL coordinates we were using
monitor height, which can give incorrect values when desktop is taller
than any single monitor. So use desktop height instead.

This patch makes the "Render" window a top-level window, not a child of
the main window, which was the case in blender versions prior to 2.93.
This means it is no longer "on top", nor is the icon grouped on the
taskbar in the same way, but you can Alt-Tab between it and the main
window. This change only affects the Windows platform as the other
platforms behave this way.

Note: Linking in this case as in link vs. append. Easily confused with linking
a data-block to multiple usages (e.g. single material used by multiple
objects).
Adds a drop-down to the Asset Browser header to choose between Link and Append.
This is probably gonna be a temporary place, T54642 shows where this could be
placed eventually.
Linking support is crucial for usage of the asset browser in production
environments. It just wasn't enabled yet because a) the asset project currently
focuses on single user, not production assets, and b) because there were many
unkowns still for the workflow that have big impact on production use as well.
With the recently held asset workshop I'm more confident with enabling linking,
as design ideas relevant to production use were confirmed.

This patch fixes a long-standing complaint from users:
the console window shortly flashing when they start
blender.
This is done by adding a new executable called
blender-launcher.exe which starts blender.exe while
hiding the console.
Any command line parameters given to blender-launcher
will be passed on to blender.exe so it'll be a drop
in replacement.
Starting blender.exe on its own will still function as
a proper console app so no changes required here for
users that use blender for batch processing.
Notable changes:
Registering blender (-R switch) will now register
blender-launcher as the preferred executable.
This patch updates the installer and updates the
shortcuts to start blender-launcher.exe rather
than blender.exe

Adds internal API for creating and managing OpenXR actions at the
GHOST and WM layers. Does not bring about any changes for users since
XR action functionality is not yet exposed in the Python API (will be
added in a subsequent patch).
OpenXR actions are a means to communicate with XR input devices and
can be used to retrieve button/pose states or apply haptic feedback.
Actions are bound to device inputs via a semantic path binding
(https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenXR/specs/1.0/html/xrspec.html#semantic-path-interaction-profiles),
which serves as an XR version of keymaps.
Main features:
- Abstraction of OpenXR action management functions to GHOST-XR,
WM-XR APIs.
- New "xr_session_start_pre" callback for creating actions at
appropriate point in the XR session.
- Creation of name-identifiable action sets/actions.
- Binding of actions to controller inputs.
- Acquisition of controller button states.
- Acquisition of controller poses.
- Application of controller haptic feedback.
- Carefully designed error handling and useful error reporting
(e.g. action set/action name included in error message).
