The environment variable to locate system data-files was
ignored by toolbar icons.
Add bpy.utils.system_resource
to match Blender's internal data-file access.
Better to make internal code naming match official/UI naming to some
extent, this will reduce confusion in the future.
This is 'breaking' scripts and files that would use that feature, but
since it is not yet officially supported nor exposed in 2.80, as far
as that release is concerned, it is effectively
a 'no functional changes' commit.
The behavior for loading factory settings wasn't clear for users.
This commit changes the behavior:
- Loading factory settings always disables auto-save
for the current session.
- The internal setting to skip saving on exit is now exposed
in the preferences (when enabled).
- The menu item "Load Factory Settings (Temporary)" has been removed
since it's always temporary.
This way users can always reset factory settings without
having to consider the combination of options that might cause their
preferences to be overwritten at exit.
If they want to enable auto-save for the current session
this can be done from the preferences.
The goal is to prevent assignment of temporary or evaluated meshes
to objects from the main database.
Majority of the change is actually related on passing reports around.
On a positive side there are more error prints which can become more
visible to scripters.
There are still possible further improvements in the related areas.
For example, disable user counting for evaluated ID datablocks when
assignment happens. But can also happen later on as a separate
improvement.

This also makes `IDP_CopyProperty` the "opposite"
of `IDP_FreeProperty`, which is what I'd expect.
Two refactoring steps:
* rename IDP_FreeProperty to IDP_FreePropertyContent
* new IDP_FreeProperty function that actually frees the property

Expose REPLACE and CYCLE_AWARE, and add AVAILABLE for completeness.
These flags are generic and safe to use, and necessary to match
the behavior of certain UI options.
Add a callback to allow custom node editors to draw their own
backdrop.

Allowing direct import of text blocks isn't especially useful,
instead add `text.as_module()` script authors can do this
explicitly if it's needed.
Now the text "Register" option executes
instead of loading as a module.
This removes the need to keep track of the current Main,
and C code to override Python's import & reload.
Having this in blenkernel caused bad level calls to bf_editors_anim,
causing tests that use 'blenkernel' to require almost all libraries.
(complicating gtest linking & causing large binaries).
No functional change, this adds LIB definition and args to cmake files.
Without this it's difficult to migrate away from 'BLENDER_SORTED_LIBS'
since there are many platforms/configurations that could break when
changing linking order.
Manually add and enable WITHOUT_SORTED_LIBS to try building
without sorted libs (currently fails since all variables are empty).
This check will eventually be removed.
See T46725.
If a subfolder was specified which didn't exist, logic would fallback
to get_path_user (instead of get_path_environment).
Now always use the from the environment variable if it's set and exists.
We don't want to use flow control like `break` statement into the basic
`FOREACH_MAIN_ID` macro, as this is a nested loop.
When refined behavior is needed (like breaking whole iteration, or just
skipping to next ID type), FOREACH_MAIN_LISTBASE and
FOREACH_MAIN_LISTBASE_ID macros should be used instead.
Based on D4382 by @campbellbarton
(Other potential solution, using flow control macros: D4384).
Convention was not to but after discussion on 918941483f we agree its
best to change the convention.
Names now mostly follow RNA.
Some exceptions:
- Use 'nodetrees' instead of 'nodegroups'
since the struct is called NodeTree.
- Use 'gpencils' instead of 'grease_pencil'
since 'gpencil' is a common abbreviation in the C code.
Other exceptions:
- Leave 'wm' as it's a list of one.
- Leave 'ipo' as is for versioning.
This affects point, spot and area lights. Sun light strength remains without
a unit. This change does not affect .blend file compatibility in any way, as
with the rest of the unit system it's purely a display and editing feature.
Not used for Cycles yet, that will be done after unifying the settings with
Eevee.
