Adds a toggle to the filter menu for outliner synced selection. Enabled
by default, this ensures selection is synced between objects, bones, and
sequences. An active outliner element theme color is added to indicate
which element is active.
Synced selection is controlled on the operator level. Each operator
that modifies selection for objects, bones, sequences, or outliner
elements needs to call the respective ED_outliner_select_sync_from..
function to tag outliners to be synced.
Syncing is done lazily on outliner draw.

New icons from Andrzej Ambroż / Jendrzych:
- Bespoke icon for creating new Collections
- Special icons for Rigid Body and Rigid Body Constraints (Physics Properties)
- New icons for Holdout and Indirect Only toggles in the Outliner
- New generic Cursor icon for cases that are not related to either Orientation or Pivot
Many other tweaks to existing icons, including:
- Add & Remove Keyframe
- Weight Paint & Collision Modifier
- Tablet Pressure Sensitivity
- Playback icons

No major API change here, only in the outliner restriction column
variables (e.g., show_restrict_column_selectable > show_restrict_column_select).
* Get rid of _INSTANCE (introduced on b1af68200159).
* Differentiate (everywhere but the API) between HIDE (temporary) and VIEWPORT (global).
* Use the expected icon for restrict viewport (same as objects and modifiers).
* selectable > select
|
|
The popup menu was a different order than the drawing in the outliner.

See T61578 for discussions and mockups.
Visibility Options
==================
We are adding more granular control over restriction columns in the outliner,
exposing "indirect only" and "holdout" as options, and change the way
users enable/disable collections in a viewlayer.
We also rename the object viewport restriction to hide instance.
So the options we have are:
Collection
----------
* Render Visibility
* Instance Visibility
* Selectable
(View) Layer Collection
-----------------------
* Enable
* Holdout
* Indirect Only
* Viewport
Shortcuts
=========
Isolate Collection
------------------
* Ctr + click isolates the collection.
It turns all its parents and children "visible", and all the other
collections "invisible".
If ALL the collections were already properly set, we re-set the
collections to their default value.
Set Collection Inside Collections and Objects
---------------------------------------------
* Shift + click: Set/unset inside collections and objects.
We only set objects values as well when we are in View Layer mode and
(obviously) when the objects have a matching property.
Icons
=====
Little reminder that we will need better icons for holdout, indirect only, and
probably instanced (nothing wrong with the current, but it differs from
the proposal when it is turned off).
Also, we need to decide where do we want the modifier/bones/... icons to
be (in which column) and ideally make sure their icons match the ones we
use for collections/objects.
At the moment those are using the screen icon, which is not being used
by collections.

Aligned with the other checkboxes
|
|
- Use checkboxes with aligned text
- Use icons next to the checkboxes
- Remove wrong use of icons
- Better grouping
|
|
If it's members need to be aligned the template can handle it.

hierarchy' operation."
This partially reverts commit a77feabb51470b9cfb71be7f0ea7e774d6591799,
removing the shallow 'duplicate hierarchy' option from outliner.
Core changes from that commit in BKE_collections are kept.
|

Point is, you may want to duplicate your set of collections, but not
duplicate all their objects.
Some notes:
* Am rather skeptical about the practice of using operator name to
define behavior of some common exec code. Imho, that should be a single
operator with an enum to refine its behavior (@cambpellbarton may also
have an opinion here?). Left it as-is for now, because this seems to be
used by other operators too in that code. :/
* @dfelinto, @pablovazquez, @billreynish am not so happy with current
names, but cannot find really good short ones either... Also, shouldn't
we move those into a dedicated `Duplicate` sub-menu?
|
|
|
|
Now that we have better options (duplicate collection and duplicate linked) there is no
longer need for the original dupli operator.
In fact, as it was it was of little use if you ever had nested collections.
|
|
As per the suggestion on T57064, this introduces two new options to duplicate collections.
We then have:
* Duplicate > Collection (New collection with linked content).
* Duplicate > Hierachy (Duplicate entire hierarchy and make all contents single user).
* Duplicate > Linked Hierarchy (Duplicate entire hierarchy keeping content linked with original).
Development TODO: `single_object_users` can/should use the new functions.

Show One Level, Hide One Level, Show Active, Show Hierarchy were taking
four items on the context menu when they are not accessed that often
from the context menu (they all have shortcuts).
The "View" name is used to match other editors View menus.
|
|
Mainly the first of their category or when they need to be highlighted:
* Delete
* Enable Viewport/Render (match icons to make a visual connection)
* ViewLayers (it's used pretty often so it makes it easier to find)
Also group Show/Show All, Hide/Hide All together.
|
|
Now collection and objects can be either:
* Disabled for all the view layers.
* Hidden for a view layer but not necessarily for all others.
* Visible for a view layer but not necessarily for all others.
Regarding icons: Whatever we decide to use for the "Hidden for all view
layers" needs to be a toggle-like icon. Because when viewing "Scenes"
instead of "View Layer" in the outliner we should be able to edit the
collection "Hidden for all the view layers" as an on/off option.
The operators are accessible via a Visibility context menu or shortcuts:
* Ctrl + Click: Isolate collection (use shift to extend).
* Alt + Click: Disable collection.
* Shift + Click: Hide/Show collection and its children (objects and collections)
Things yet to be tackled:
* Object outliner context menu can also get a Visibility sub-menu.
* Get better icons for viewport enable/disable.
Note:
* When using emulate 3 button mouse alt+click is used for 2d panning.
In this case users have to use the operator from the menu.
See T57857 for discussion.

Thanks to the reviewers and William Reynish and Julien Kasper in
particular for the feedback.

This is a monochrome icon set, with a more modern look and icons for
various features that did not have a proper icon before.
|
|
|
|
In the outliner, right click > view layer > set indirect only. This is
like clearing camera ray visibility on objects in the collection, and is
temporary until we have more general dynamic overrides.
|
|
In the outliner, right click > view layer > set holdout. This is
temporary until we have more general dynamic overrides, but helps
Spring production for now.

Instead use global panel-type list.
|
|
|
|
Internally it's still mostly named lamps, though some modules like Cycles
were already calling them lights.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All right click menus in the outliner now include OUTLINER_MT_context.
|
|
|
|
This was a flag in early 2.8 to allow users to hide the entire search prop.
Now since we want it fully expanded at all times, it makes no more sense.
|
|
Also temporarily bring back the toggle to search, since it's off by default.
|
|
Expose search like in 2.7, we could make it pop on Ctrl+F to save space if needed.
Align Filter and the less used View menu to the right.

OVERVIEW
* In 2.7 terminology, all layers and groups are now collection datablocks.
* These collections are nestable, linkable, instanceable, overrideable, ..
which opens up new ways to set up scenes and link + override data.
* Viewport/render visibility and selectability are now a part of the collection
and shared across all view layers and linkable.
* View layers define which subset of the scene collection hierarchy is excluded
for each. For many workflows one view layer can be used, these are more of an
advanced feature now.
OUTLINER
* The outliner now has a "View Layer" display mode instead of "Collections",
which can display the collections and/or objects in the view layer.
* In this display mode, collections can be excluded with the right click menu.
These will then be greyed out and their objects will be excluded.
* To view collections not linked to any scene, the "Blender File" display mode
can be used, with the new filtering option to just see Colleciton datablocks.
* The outliner right click menus for collections and objects were reorganized.
* Drag and drop still needs to be improved. Like before, dragging the icon or
text gives different results, we'll unify this later.
LINKING AND OVERRIDES
* Collections can now be linked into the scene without creating an instance,
with the link/append operator or from the collections view in the outliner.
* Collections can get static overrides with the right click menu in the outliner,
but this is rather unreliable and not clearly communicated at the moment.
* We still need to improve the make override operator to turn collection instances
into collections with overrides directly in the scene.
PERFORMANCE
* We tried to make performance not worse than before and improve it in some
cases. The main thing that's still a bit slower is multiple scenes, we have to
change the layer syncing to only updated affected scenes.
* Collections keep a list of their parent collections for faster incremental
updates in syncing and caching.
* View layer bases are now in a object -> base hash to avoid quadratic time
lookups internally and in API functions like visible_get().
VERSIONING
* Compatibility with 2.7 files should be improved due to the new visibility
controls. Of course users may not want to set up their scenes differently
now to avoid having separate layers and groups.
* Compatibility with 2.8 is mostly there, and was tested on Eevee demo and Hero
files. There's a few things which are know to be not quite compatible, like
nested layer collections inside groups.
* The versioning code for 2.8 files is quite complicated, and isolated behind
#ifdef so it can be removed at the end of the release cycle.
KNOWN ISSUES
* The G-key group operators in the 3D viewport were left mostly as is, they
need to be modified still to fit better.
* Same for the groups panel in the object properties. This needs to be updated
still, or perhaps replaced by something better.
* Collections must all have a unique name. Less restrictive namespacing is to
be done later, we'll have to see how important this is as all objects within
the collections must also have a unique name anyway.
* Full scene copy and delete scene are exactly doing the right thing yet.

This adds a convention to have a spaces primary mode selector
positioned to at the left of the header.
|
|
Suggested by Pablo Vazquez (venomgfx).
The idea here is that it should be easy to work in the outliner by picking a
bunch of objects and adding them to a new collection.
Where is the new collection? In the same level as the "outliner active" object.
Note, since the outliner has no pure concept of an active object, I'm using
the highlight tag for this. Hopefully it works fine.
It should work in "Collections", "View Layer", and "Groups".
Only when collections are not filtered out.
|
|
Better make it clear it is different than OUTLINER_OT_collection_objects_remove.
|
|
Suggested by Pablo Vazquez (venomgfx).
|
|
When duplicating a layer collection directly linked to the view layer we copy
the collection and link it.
For all the not directly linked layer collectionns, we try to sync the layer
collection flags, overrides, ...
Also we make sure the new collection is right after the original collection.
We also expose this in RNA, via collection.duplicate().
|
|
As suggested by Pablo Vazquez, though I think we can refine it a bit with icons.
I will wait for his feedback on it.
