Basically this enables the select-tweaking behavior as per the
guidelines:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Human_Interface_Guidelines/Selection#Select-tweaking.
We use this in most other other editors that allow selecting and
dragging multiple items. But besides the consistency improvement, this
is important if we want to support dragging multiple assets (or files)
in future. We want to support this at least for dragging multiple assets
into an asset catalog for the upcoming asset catalog UI.
|
|
Until now, the asset catalogs would only show up after all assets from
the library were loaded. Now the catalogs are read first, which makes
them appear pretty much immediately. This makes the UI more responsive
and feel less heavy.
I added a dedicated file-list type for asset libraries now. While not
necessarily needed, I prefer that so asset library specific stuff can be
handled in there.

When Browsing libraries the asset files were opened multiple times.
once to determine the needed groups to query and once for each
group to query the items in the group. For file browsing this makes sense
but for asset browsing this can be reduced.
This patch will load the asset files recursively and only opens them once.
Another change is that only the assets are requested and not filtered out
later in the process.
This patch is needed to simplify the library indexing. Where
we need access to the full library content.
## The numbers ##
Benchmarked by adding scenes of the spring open movie to the default
asset library. Refreshing the asset library would recursively load all the files
there.

Catalogs work like directories on disk (without hard-/symlinks), in that
an asset is only contained in one catalog.
See T90066 for design considerations.
#### Known Limitations
Only a single catalog definition file (CDF), is supported, at
`${ASSET_LIBRARY_ROOT}/blender_assets.cats.txt`. In the future this is
to be expanded to support arbitrary CDFs (like one per blend file, one
per subdirectory, etc.).
The current implementation is based on the asset browser, which in
practice means that the asset browser owns the `AssetCatalogService`
instance for the selected asset library. In the future these instances
will be accessible via a less UI-bound asset system.
The UI is still very rudimentary, only showing the catalog ID for the
currently selected asset. Most notably, the loaded catalogs are not
shown yet. The UI is being implemented and will be merged soon.
#### Catalog Identifiers
Catalogs are internally identified by UUID. In older designs this was a
human-readable name, which has the problem that it has to be kept in
sync with its semantics (so when renaming a catalog from X to Y, the
UUID can be kept the same).
Since UUIDs don't communicate any human-readable information, the
mapping from catalog UUID to its path (stored in the Catalog Definition
File, CDF) is critical for understanding which asset is stored in which
human-readable catalog. To make this less critical, and to allow manual
data reconstruction after a CDF is lost/corrupted, each catalog also has
a "simple name" that's stored along with the UUID. This is also stored
on each asset, next to the catalog UUID.
#### Writing to Disk
Before saving asset catalogs to disk, the to-be-overwritten file gets
inspected. Any new catalogs that are found thre are loaded to memory
before writing the catalogs back to disk:
- Changed catalog path: in-memory data wins
- Catalogs deleted on disk: they are recreated based on in-memory data
- Catalogs deleted in memory: deleted on disk as well
- New catalogs on disk: are loaded and thus survive the overwriting
#### Tree Design
This implements the initial tree structure to load catalogs into. See
T90608, and the basic design in T90066.

There may be mode specific panels for some assets in the navigation or
the asset metadata sidebar. For example the pose library will likely do
this. So let the regions redraw on mode changes.

With this, asset libraries can be directory structures and all assets in
sub-directories will show up in an Asset Browser.
With complex directory structures and many .blend files inside, asset
library reading will be quite slow for now. There's initial work being
done to introduce indexing for this (T82979), other optimizations are
being discussed as well.
Addresses T91406.

Amendment to 7a5216497cc3.
Removed this before committing, because I thought it wasn't needed. Of
course it was...
|
|
For some reason the asset preview isn't created or loaded correctly in
some instances. This could be addressed with D9974, but hard to tell
since I only have a failing .blend file, no steps to recreate it from
scratch.
Would crash when opening an Asset Browser, selecting an object asset
(that has an invalid preview stored) and opening the Asset Browser
sidebar, so that the preview is visible there.
|
|
Context members of the file space would not be shown in the context API
docs.
|
|
Since recently it's possible to query the active file (as object, not
just the name), but it's quite useful for scripting to have access to
all selected files.
This introduces `bpy.context.selected_files`, returning a list of file
objects representing files in the File Browser.

Idea for 3.0 is to disable all functionality that isn't well polished
and focus on those parts first. Starting with poses.
* Adds a new experimental option "Extended Asset Browser", replacing
"Asset Browser".
* Unlike the previous option, this isn't enabled by default anymore.
This didn't work well in practice and caused plenty of confusion.
* "Mark as Asset" and "Clear Asset" are hidden if the option is
disabled.
* Same for the category selection in the Asset Browser.
* Always show display the "Only Assets" option in the File Browser while
browing inside .blend files. That way you can hide data-blocks that
are not pose assets.
* The Asset Library setup UI in the Preferences is always visible now,
it's needed for pose library access.

Right clicking would spawn the context menu under the cursor, but some
operators would actually act on the active asset/file which wasn't
the one clicked on.
When multiple files are selected and one of them is right-clicked on,
selection is not changed to allow operations on multiple files. E.g.
deletion.
This makes the File/Asset Browser match the Outliner (in behavior, not
implementation).
For the right-click selection keymap:
* The context menu still only spawns on W.
* Bonus: Right click now does something, it actually selects files!
I could have done additional changes here to avoid this, but it seems
like a good addition.
This is also a better alternative to rB5edfde58fe60, which didn't work
properly either. Using rename from the context menu would only work if
the clicked on file was also active...

When blender starts and the mouse is over a file/asset browser it
crashes. This is because blender wants to highlight a file, but the

In the `FileList` struct, rename the `AssetLibraryReference

The file selection parameters (e.g. `context.space_data.params`) are
expected to be unset in certain cases. Reading 2.4 files seems to be one
of them. Hence, code using it should check it's set first. Also added an
assert to a File Browser UI template printing a message when the
parameters are unset, to help debugging the issue.

Add a context menu dedicated to asset operations to the Asset Browser.
There are two separate context menus to keep things separated well and
avoid confusing if-else logic (similar to D12057 & D12059). Their polls
make sure they are displayed for the right contexts only.
Also (to be committed as followup cleanup): Remove now unused special
handling for assets in file delete operator.

Originally the operator name was drawn next to the dragging content.
After that there was an option to add custom, static text with the
dragging content. This patch allows dynamic text to be drawn.
The custom text was implemented as out parameter of the poll function
what made the code unclear. This patch introduces a tooltip function
that separates tooltip generation from the poll function.
NOTE: the text should always be returned in its own memory block. This
block will be freed after it is copied in the drag struct.

These operators shouldn't be available in the Asset Browser.
https://developer.blender.org/T83556
Added a comment to each operator poll assignment to explicitly mention
the intention. That should also remind devs to decide if the operator
should apply for both file & asset browsing when copy & pasting operator
definition code.

The operator to drop file paths into the File Browser was just checking
if there's an active window. This wasn't really an issue since the
operator was only used as drop-operator for the File Browser. But the
operator would show up in the operator search. Plus, for asset browsing,
we'll also have to check the file browsing mode, so the more specific
poll function will be needed.

* Early exit instead of complex if-else blocks.
* Avoid iterating over entire file list.
* Use `true`/`false` for boolean values.
* Declare variables in smaller scopes.

The operator was register as a "file" operator, which are by convention
used for File Browser operators only. Move it to the "preferences"
operators, where it's displayed in the UI too.

This isn't used at all in the current File and Asset Browser design.

Since recently it's possible to access assets from outside the
File/Asset Browser, via the asset view template. So we are slowly
moving away from file space specific code to dedicated asset system
code. I introduced `AssetLibraryReference` as a duplicate of
`FileSelectAssetLibraryUID`, with a plan to delete the latter in a
separate cleanup commit. That's exactly what this commit is.
This will cause Asset Browsers to open with the default "Current File"
Asset Library. We could avoid that, but it's a minor issue really.

Would previously pass a few properties that are available via the
asset-handle now. This asset-handle is also required for some of the
asset API, e.g. the temporary ID loading. This will probably be needed
before too long.

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.

For the Asset Browser, this returns the active asset library of the
Asset Browser, otherwise it returns the one active in the workspace.
This gives simple access to the active asset library from UI code and
Python scripts. For example the upcoming Pose Library add-on uses this,
as well as the upcoming asset view template.
|
|
This per-workspace active asset library will be used by the asset views
later. Note that Asset Browsers have their own active asset library,
overriding the one from the workspace.
As part of this the `FileSelectAssetLibraryUID` type gets replaced by
`AssetLibraryReference` which is on the asset level now, not the
File/Asset Browser level. But some more work is needed to complete that,
which is better done in a separate commit.
This also moves the asset library from/to enum-value logic from RNA to
the editor asset level, which will later be used by the asset view.

When renaming an ID somewhere in the UI after marking it as asset, it would
often get lost in the Asset Browser (scrolled out of view). It would also get
deactivated.
This patch makes sure that if an asset is active whose ID gets renamed, it is
kept active and visible. That is important for a fast, uninterrupted asset
creation workflow, where users often rename assets while working in the asset
browser.
Old code stored the new file-name to identify a file after re-reading the
file-list after the rename. For assets that doesn't work because there may be
multiple assets with the same name. Here the simple solution of just storing
the pointer to the renamed ID is chosen, rather than relying on the file-name
in this case. (Should be fine with undo, since the ID * reference is short
lived, it's not stored over possible undo steps. If it turns out to have
issues, I rather switch to a rename_id_uuid, but keep that separate from the
file->uid).

(Note: This is an alternative version for D9994 by @Schiette. The commit
message is based on his description.)
Currently, when a new directory is created it is not selected.
Similarly, when renaming an existing file or directory, it does not
remain active/highlighted blue after renaming.
This change makes sure the file or directory is always selected after
renaming, even if the renaming failed or was cancelled.
This has some usability advantages:
- Open the newly created directory without having to select it (ENTER).
- If you make a naming mistake, you can immediately fix that (F2)
without having to click it again.
- If you create a directory and forget to name it, you can fix that
(F2) without having to select it.
- This is consistent with many common File Browsers.
Further, selecting the item even after renaming failed or was cancelled
helps keeping the file in focus, so the user doesn't have to look for it
(especially if the renaming just failed which the user may not notice).
In other words, it avoids disorienting the user.
Also see D11119 which requires this behavior.
We could also always select the file/directory on mouse press. This
would make some hacks unnecessary, but may have further implications. I
think eventually that's what we should do though.
|

`filesel.c` seems like the place that should contain file selection
functions. Previously it was in `file_ops.c` because that was the only
file that actually used it. But a followup commit needs it from a
different file.
|
|
|
|
File Browser code uses the term "params" for its file selection parameters a
lot. Avoid confusion/ambiguity by calling the notifier listener parameters
"listener_params".
|
|
This operator only works with renaming files, not assets.
