Partially reverts 2250b5cefee7.
Removing the user count and fake user count icons was controversial (which was
expected) and there are a few further changes needed, that won't make it in
time for the release, see D9946.
While there is a design to bring back the user count and fake user indicators,
a new design idea was proposed that the UI team wants to follow. This came too
late for the 2.92 release, the new design is targeted at the 2.93 release now.
Meanwhile, UI team decision was to simply revert the design changes.
The new design is being worked on in https://developer.blender.org/T84669.
Note that this commit does not revert some internal changes done in
2250b5cefee7. Namely the introduction of `ed_util_ops.c` and data-block
operators in there. These will still be needed in the new design.
|

The previous design is rather old and has a couple of problems:
* Scalability: The current solution of adding little icon buttons next to the
data-block name field doesn't scale well. It only works if there's a small
number of operations. We need to be able to place more items there for better
data-block management. Especially with the introduction of library overrides.
* Discoverability: It's not obvious what some of the icons do. They appear and
disappear, but it's not obvious why some are available at times and others
not.
* Unclear Status: Currently their library status (linked, indirectly linked,
broken link, library override) isn't really clear.
* Unusual behavior: Some of the icon buttons allow Shift or Ctrl clicking to
invoke alternative behaviors. This is not a usual pattern in Blender.
This patch does the following changes:
* Adds a menu to the right of the name button to access all kinds of operations
(create, delete, unlink, user management, library overrides, etc).
* Make good use of the "disabled hint" for tooltips, to explain why buttons are
disabled. The UI team wants to establish this as a good practise.
* Use superimposed icons for duplicate and unlink, rather than extra buttons
(uses less space, looks less distracting and is a nice + consistent design
language).
* Remove fake user and user count button, they are available from the menu now.
* Support tooltips for superimposed icons (committed mouse hover feedback to
master already).
* Slightly increase size of the name button - it was already a bit small
before, and the move from real buttons to superimposed icons reduces usable
space for the name itself.
* More clearly differentiate between duplicate and creating a new data-block.
The latter is only available in the menu.
* Display library status icon on the left (linked, missing library, overridden,
asset)
* Disables "Make Single User" button - in review we weren't sure if there are
good use-cases for it, so better to see if we can remove it.
Note that I do expect some aspects of this design to change still. I think some
changes are problematic, but others disagreed. I will open a feedback thread on
devtalk to see what others think.

* Avoid direct access to `SpaceFile.params`, use a getter instead. This matters
because once the asset-browser changes are in, there will be an alternative
selection parameter object. The getter can return the correct one.
* Rename the function to ensure the parameters. The old name
`ED_fileselect_get_params()` wasn't a mere getter, it would create the
parameters if necessary. Now we have an actual getter, so better be clear.
* In some instances, I replaced the old "get" function with the new mere
getter. So the ensure logic is called less often. However, in these cases we
should be able to assume the selection parameters were created already as
part of the editor creation routine.
The term "active" in the new function names may seem a bit odd in the current
context, but that is a preparation for the Asset Browser merge as well. Like
said, there will be two file selection parameter objects in the space.
|
|
The overlap with the `Panel` flags that start with "PNL" was quite
confusing because wasn't clear which enum a flag was from. The
new names are a bit longer, but the clarity is worth it.

Swaps the order of the '+' and '-' button in the File Browser file name field,
so that '-' comes first.
For increasing or decreasing a value it makes more sense to have decreasing
first, increasing last. Consistent to how you press on the left side of a
number button for decrease, and right to increase.
However this is inconsistent in another way: Usually we have a '+' button
before a '-' button, but that refers to adding and removing items, not
increasing or decreasing. The icons are also placed in their own buttons then,
making them look more separate.
So the UI Team agreed on accepting that trade-off, see today's meeting notes:

Not exposed to Python API yet, this should get more detailed testing with different
layouts before that happens.
Ref T69652
|
|
As per Brecht's suggestion, use the check_existing property to control
visibility of the '+' and '-' icons. It is typically set for save
operations.
Adds another FileSelectParams flag (to avoid duplicated propertie
lookups) and removes the recently introduced
FileSelectParams.action_type again.
Fixes T69881.

|
Brings back + and - icons to the file name button, but now as
superimposed icons.
|

We moved this to Python too quickly, causing the following regressions:
* No auto completion for file names
* Additional handling not applied on changes, like automatic extension
appending (see file_filename_enter_handle)
* Red highlight missing when the file name already exists
Note that earlier (before the file browser redesign), this didn't use
the panel and layout code at all. So even if it's still not in Python,
at least it's integrated into regular panel management now.
OS-specific ordering of the open and cancel button is kept.
Fixes T69457.

This is a general redesign of the File Browser GUI and interaction
methods. For screenshots, check patch D5601.
Main changes in short:
* File Browser as floating window
* New layout of regions
* Popovers for view and filter options
* Vertical list view with interactive column header
* New and updated icons
* Keymap consistency fixes
* Many tweaks and fixes to the drawing of views
----
General:
* The file browser now opens as temporary floating window. It closes on
Esc. The header is hidden then.
* When the file browser is opened as regular editor, the header remains
visible.
* All file browser regions are now defined in Python (the button
layout).
* Adjusted related operator UI names.
Keymap:
Keymap is now consistent with other list-based views in Blender, such as
the Outliner.
* Left click to select, double-click to open
* Right-click context menus
* Shift-click to fill selection
* Ctrl-click to extend selection
Operator options:
These previously overlapped with the source list, which caused numerous
issues with resizing and presenting many settings in a small panel area.
It was also generally inconsistent with Blender.
* Moved to new sidebar, which can easily be shown or hidden using a
prominent Options toggle.
* IO operators have new layouts to match this new sidebar, using
sub-panels. This will have to be committed separately (Add-on
repository).
* If operators want to show the options by default, they have the option
to do so (see `WM_FILESEL_SHOW_PROPS`, `hide_props_region`), otherwise
they are hidden by default.
General Layout:
The layout has been changed to be simpler, more standard, and fits
better in with Blender 2.8.
* More conventional layout (file path at top, file name at the bottom,
execute/cancel buttons in bottom right).
* Use of popovers to group controls, and allow for more descriptive
naming.
* Search box is always live now, just like Outliner.
Views:
* Date Modified column combines both date and time, also uses user
friendly strings for recent dates (i.e. "Yesterday", "Today").
* Details columns (file size, modification date/time) are now toggleable
for all display types, they are not hardcoded per display type.
* File sizes now show as B, KB, MB, ... rather than B, KiB, MiB, … They
are now also calculated using base 10 of course.
* Option to sort in inverse order.
Vertical List View:
* This view now used a much simpler single vertical list with columns
for information.
* Users can click on the headers of these columns to order by that
category, and click again to reverse the ordering.
Icons:
* Updated icons by Jendrzych, with better centering.
* Files and folders have new icons in Icon view.
* Both files and folders have reworked superimposed icons that show
users the file/folder type.
* 3D file documents correctly use the 3d file icon, which was unused
previously.
* Workspaces now show their icon on Link/Append - also when listed in
the Outliner.
Minor Python-API breakage:
* `bpy.types.FileSelectParams.display_type`: `LIST_SHORT` and
`LIST_LONG` are replaced by `LIST_VERTICAL` and `LIST_HORIZONTAL`.
Removes the feature where directories would automatically be created if
they are entered into the file path text button, but don't exist. We
were not sure if users use it enough to keep it. We can definitely bring
it back.

While \file doesn't need an argument, it can't have another doxy

Move \ingroup onto same line to be more compact and

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.

Thanks to @brita_ for the fix.

Code was trying to hide properties by name that may not exist.
Check if it was actually found and add 'files' to the filter,
since it is what WM_OT_studio_lights_install uses.

This allows operators to filter out properties from the
auto-generated draw functions.
Some custom draw functions can move to using this.

Strip unindented comment blocks - mainly headers to avoid conflicts.

== Main Features/Changes for Users
* Add horizontal bar at top of all non-temp windows, consisting out of two horizontal sub-bars.
* Upper sub-bar contains global menus (File, Render, etc.), tabs for workspaces and scene selector.
* Lower sub-bar contains object mode selector, screen-layout and render-layer selector. Later operator and/or tool settings will be placed here.
* Individual sections of the topbar are individually scrollable.
* Workspace tabs can be double- or ctrl-clicked for renaming and contain 'x' icon for deleting.
* Top-bar should scale nicely with DPI.
* The lower half of the top-bar can be hided by dragging the lower top-bar edge up. Better hiding options are planned (e.g. hide in fullscreen modes).
* Info editors at the top of the window and using the full window width with be replaced by the top-bar.
* In fullscreen modes, no more info editor is added on top, the top-bar replaces it.
== Technical Features/Changes
* Adds initial support for global areas
A global area is part of the window, not part of the regular screen-layout.
I've added a macro iterator to iterate over both, global and screen-layout level areas. When iterating over areas, from now on developers should always consider if they have to include global areas.
* Adds a TOPBAR editor type
The editor type is hidden in the UI editor type menu.
* Adds a variation of the ID template to display IDs as tab buttons (template_ID_tabs in BPY)
* Does various changes to RNA button creation code to improve their appearance in the horizontal top-bar.
* Adds support for dynamically sized regions. That is, regions that scale automatically to the layout bounds.
The code for this is currently a big hack (it's based on drawing the UI multiple times). This should definitely be improved.
* Adds a template for displaying operator properties optimized for the top-bar. This will probably change a lot still and is in fact disabled in code.
Since the final top-bar design depends a lot on other 2.8 designs (mainly tool-system and workspaces), we decided to not show the operator or tool settings in the top-bar for now. That means most of the lower sub-bar is empty for the time being.
NOTE: Top-bar or global area data is not written to files or SDNA. They are simply added to the window when opening Blender or reading a file. This allows us doing changes to the top-bar without having to care for compatibility.
== ToDo's
It's a bit hard to predict all the ToDo's here are the known main ones:
* Add options for the new active-tool system and for operator redo to the topbar.
* Automatically hide the top-bar in fullscreen modes.
* General visual polish.
* Top-bar drag & drop support (WIP in temp-tab_drag_drop).
* Improve dynamic regions (should also fix some layout glitches).
* Make internal terminology consistent.
* Enable topbar file writing once design is more advanced.
* Address TODO's and XXX's in code :)
Thanks @brecht for the review! And @sergey for the complaining ;)

- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.

Bookmarks are now editable (i.e. you can rename them, and reorder them).
They are also listed in regular UILists, so you can filter/sort them as usual too.
Also, FileBrowser 'T' side area is changed to something similar to 3DView one,
in this case because we need op panel to remain at the bottom, and later because
we'll more than likely need tabs here!
Thanks to Campbell and Sergey for reviews.

Make the UI API more consistent and reduce confusion with some naming.
mainly:
- API function calls
- enum values
some internal static functions have been left for now

commit 6f97e194e58aab38d351c796bf7bb6abca33f5f9
Author: Bastien Montagne <montagne29@wanadoo.fr>
Date: Wed Nov 20 21:18:20 2013 +0100
Code cleanup: Move some uiBut->flag to uiBut->drawflag, make those flags anonymous enums.
Summary:
Make some room in but->flag (I did not add another flag, we already have drawflag, which was nearly not used up till now).
Note: I’m not sure whether REDALERT (and perhaps even DISABLED?) should not go to but->drawflag as well...

context here, else we get the horrible "empty" string (as translation_context of panels is an array, not a pointer, so it's never NULL).

* Separated bookmarks managed by the OS (System Bookmarks) and bookmarks managed by Blender (Bookmarks).
* Added user pref to hide (or show) system bookmarks to allow users doing a video tutorial for example to hide their private system bookmarks
This feature should help especially MAC users who reported excessively long list of bookmarks which were added to Blender.

added operator for resetting (cleaning up) the recent folders list in the file-browser panels.
(small and low risk request by dfelinto)
|
|
further fixes for 'RECENT' files panel in filebrowser:
* Also add the recent folder at the head if it is not yet in the list
* since we now insert at the head, we need to remove the skipping of the first entries if there are too many. Now correctly leaving the last elements unwritten.
* Another consequence of inserting at the head is that we don't want to reverse the list in the recent panel anymore - got rid of the corresponding code.

*i18n: panel title of current tool in 3D view & File windows are now translated, as well a redo (F3) menu.
*MESH_OT_faces_select_linked_flat & MESH_OT_edges_select_sharp: use ANGLE RNA prop for sharpness, and fix tip of the later op.
