Overview
There are a variety of tasks remaining to complete the new File Handler capabilities inside Blender. Currently, while a large amount of net-new functionality has been provided, it is difficult to convey to users what is expected to work since there's a few missing pieces for support still.
Work generally falls into one of the following categories:
Tasks
User Interface Fixes and Changes
aa03646a74, PR blender/blender!119519)Use layout panels in Python importers/exporters (required for proper drag-n-drop support & Collection IO)
io_utilcode (af7a34dee7, PR blender/blender!119774)Use layout panels in C++ importers/exporters (for consistency and organization)
Ensure all importers provided by Blender support multiple files
Ensure File Handlers and old drop-box code work well together
Ensure all drag-n-drop handlers provided by Blender support multiple files where reasonable
etc.
Rationale
PanelType layouts vs. the layout Panel API
Existing PanelType layouts are very cumbersome to setup and only work inside the File Browser space. They would not work inside popup dialogs or for the Collection IO project which attaches Exporters to Collections. As such, we need to use the layout Panel API in general.
C++ changes to use layout Panels
Currently none of the C++ importers/exporters use any sort of panel layout for organization and layout purposes. To better unify things it would be best if they switched from their "box" layouts to panels as well.
Multiple images in Shader Editor/node editors is one of the most requested ones. It's impossible to drag&drop entire PBR set right now.
