Right now this is exposed in the outliner, though all this
(visible/selectable/enable) should be moved to a new panel soon.
This removes objects from the depsgraph when the collection is disabled.
It allows you to "hide" lamps but still having them lighting the scene.
Same for light probes and other support objects.
Pending tasks:
* Have depsgraph to include invisible objects in the DEG_OBJECTS_ITER, and
then have Eevee and other engines to make a distinction between an
invisible and a visible object.
(for example, we probably want invisible objects to not show in the
viewport, but cast shadows and show up in light probes).
* Change how we evaluate collection settings so that an invisible
collection can force an object to be invisible.

Probe is a real general term, the new name is used often in docs online.

We went for a new datablock because blending probe functionality with empties was going to be messy.

This commit does the main integration of workspaces, which is a design we agreed on during the 2.8 UI workshop (see https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/UI/Workshop_Writeup)
Workspaces should generally be stable, I'm not aware of any remaining bugs (or I've forgotten them :) ). If you find any, let me know!
(Exception: mode switching button might get out of sync with actual mode in some cases, would consider that a limitation/ToDo. Needs to be resolved at some point.)
== Main Changes/Features
* Introduces the new Workspaces as data-blocks.
* Allow storing a number of custom workspaces as part of the user configuration. Needs further work to allow adding and deleting individual workspaces.
* Bundle a default workspace configuration with Blender (current screen-layouts converted to workspaces).
* Pressing button to add a workspace spawns a menu to select between "Duplicate Current" and the workspaces from the user configuration. If no workspaces are stored in the user configuration, the default workspaces are listed instead.
* Store screen-layouts (`bScreen`) per workspace.
* Store an active screen-layout per workspace. Changing the workspace will enable this layout.
* Store active mode in workspace. Changing the workspace will also enter the mode of the new workspace. (Note that we still store the active mode in the object, moving this completely to workspaces is a separate project.)
* Store an active render layer per workspace.
* Moved mode switch from 3D View header to Info Editor header.
* Store active scene in window (not directly workspace related, but overlaps quite a bit).
* Removed 'Use Global Scene' User Preference option.
* Compatibility with old files - a new workspace is created for every screen-layout of old files. Old Blender versions should be able to read files saved with workspace support as well.
* Default .blend only contains one workspace ("General").
* Support appending workspaces.
Opening files without UI and commandline rendering should work fine.
Note that the UI is temporary! We plan to introduce a new global topbar
that contains the workspace options and tabs for switching workspaces.
== Technical Notes
* Workspaces are data-blocks.
* Adding and removing `bScreen`s should be done through `ED_workspace_layout` API now.
* A workspace can be active in multiple windows at the same time.
* The mode menu (which is now in the Info Editor header) doesn't display "Grease Pencil Edit" mode anymore since its availability depends on the active editor. Will be fixed by making Grease Pencil an own object type (as planned).
* The button to change the active workspace object mode may get out of sync with the mode of the active object. Will either be resolved by moving mode out of object data, or we'll disable workspace modes again (there's a `#define USE_WORKSPACE_MODE` for that).
* Screen-layouts (`bScreen`) are IDs and thus stored in a main list-base. Had to add a wrapper `WorkSpaceLayout` so we can store them in a list-base within workspaces, too. On the long run we could completely replace `bScreen` by workspace structs.
* `WorkSpace` types use some special compiler trickery to allow marking structs and struct members as private. BKE_workspace API should be used for accessing those.
* Added scene operators `SCENE_OT_`. Was previously done through screen operators.
== BPY API Changes
* Removed `Screen.scene`, added `Window.scene`
* Removed `UserPreferencesView.use_global_scene`
* Added `Context.workspace`, `Window.workspace` and `BlendData.workspaces`
* Added `bpy.types.WorkSpace` containing `screens`, `object_mode` and `render_layer`
* Added Screen.layout_name for the layout name that'll be displayed in the UI (may differ from internal name)
== What's left?
* There are a few open design questions (T50521). We should find the needed answers and implement them.
* Allow adding and removing individual workspaces from workspace configuration (needs UI design).
* Get the override system ready and support overrides per workspace.
* Support custom UI setups as part of workspaces (hidden panels, hidden buttons, customizable toolbars, etc).
* Allow enabling add-ons per workspace.
* Support custom workspace keymaps.
* Remove special exception for workspaces in linking code (so they're always appended, never linked). Depends on a few things, so best to solve later.
* Get the topbar done.
* Workspaces need a proper icon, current one is just a placeholder :)

Otherwise if we create a new collection, and drag a collection into it we either
get a crash, or at the very least we dont get the visibility flags correct.
|
|
This way we can ensure the overlay to indicate where the item would be
placed if it was dropped now is always at the correct place and doesn't
mislead the user.
|
|
Two issues are remaining, they'll be fixed separately:
* Graphical feedback when dragging within the master collection is wrong
* There's some bug where collections swap places instead, Dalai will investigate
|
|
Nothing happen yet when it's supposed to insert the collection into
another one, that part will be handled by @dfelinto.
See gif for demo of how it works UI wise: {F500337}
Also fixed off-by-one error in utility function.

Doing this will add the object to the collection.

There were some issues with how we store outliner tree elements:
Apparently the only removable elements have been data-blocks so far.
When recreating the TreeElements, their TreeStoreElem instances were
mainly identified by their ID pointer. However non-data-blocks mostly
depend on an index. For collections, such an index isn't a reliable
measure though if we want to allow removing items. Depending on it for
identifying the TreeStoreElem instance would cause some quite noticeable
glitches (wrong highlights, two elements sharing highlight, etc).
For now I've solved that by actually removing the TreeStoreElem that
represents the removed element. A little limitation of this is that
after undoing the removal, some information might get lost, like
flags to store selection, or opened/closed state.
A better solution that would also fix this issue would be having a real
unique identifier for each non-data-block element, like an idname or even
its data-pointer. Not sure if we can get those to work reliable with
file read/write though, would have to investigate...
Also added a general Outliner tree traversal utility.

This adds initial support for reordering collections from the Outliner
using drag & drop.
Although drag & drop support is limited to collections for now, this
lays most foundations for general drag & drop reordering support in the
Outliner. There are some design questions to be answered though:
* Would reordering of other data types (like objects) be a purely visual change or would it affect the order in which they are stored? (Would that make a difference for the user?)
* Should/can we allow mixing of different data types? (e.g. mixing render layers with objects)
* How could we realize this technically?
Notes:
* "Sort Alphabetically" has to be disabled to use this ("View" menu).
* Reordering only works with collections on the same hierarchy level.
* Added some visual feedback that should work quite well, it's by far not a final design though: {F493806}
* Modified collection orders are stored in .blends.
* Reordering can be undone.
* Did minor cleanups here and there.

This reverts commit 3da834e83ce9d7056c033148dab04885a6d3b1b7.
We will use the outliner for this now.
I'm also moving the collections_ops.c to outliner_collections.c

Fix outliner related crashes. Basically in some functions bContext was
not passed around, so CTX_data_scene_layer(C) was crashing.
Right now we still rely on ob->flag SELECT in some places. In order to use the base flag we will need to bring back the Bases to the outliner.

User Commit Log
---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

* LMB now replaces selection instead of adding to it. Shift+LMB adds to selection (or removes if already selected). This is usual selection behavior Blender.
* Outliner selection isn't completely separate from object/sequencer-strip/render-layer/... selection anymore, when selecting an outliner item we now always try to select (and activate) the object it belongs to. Previously you had to click the name or icon of an item to select the object (or whatever) and on empty space within the row to set outliner selection.
* Collapsed items may show click-able icons for their children (nothing new). Clicking on such an icon will also select the hidden item it represents now, you'll notice after opening the parent. This valid from a technical POV, I'm not sure if this is wanted from user POV though. Changing would be easy, feedback welcome!
* Code cleanup.
Part of T37430.

Some little UI polish to get familiar with outliner code (but also because it's a useful feature). Committing to blender2.8 branch but can also port to master (2.7) if wanted.
This basically causes the mouse hovered element to be highlighted. Contrast of the highlight should be fine, even with a non-default theme. Also did some minor cleanup.

All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/
User:Kevindietrich/AlembicBasicIo.
Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
custom builds and compile fixes.

handling).
This commit changes a lot of how IDs are handled internally, especially the unlinking/freeing
processes. So far, this was very fuzy, to summarize cleanly deleting or replacing a datablock
was pretty much impossible, except for a few special cases.
Also, unlinking was handled by each datatype, in a rather messy and prone-to-errors way (quite
a few ID usages were missed or wrongly handled that way).
One of the main goal of id-remap branch was to cleanup this, and fatorize ID links handling
by using library_query utils to allow generic handling of those, which is now the case
(now, generic ID links handling is only "knwon" from readfile.c and library_query.c).
This commit also adds backends to allow live replacement and deletion of datablocks in Blender
(so-called 'remapping' process, where we replace all usages of a given ID pointer by a new one,
or NULL one in case of unlinking).
This will allow nice new features, like ability to easily reload or relocate libraries, real immediate
deletion of datablocks in blender, replacement of one datablock by another, etc.
Some of those are for next commits.
A word of warning: this commit is highly risky, because it affects potentially a lot in Blender core.
Though it was tested rather deeply, being totally impossible to check all possible ID usage cases,
it's likely there are some remaining issues and bugs in new code... Please report them! ;)

Note that we may want to review that some day, we have quite a bit of ID types here that are

Caminandes team request. In current master it's not possible to do this in a total
clean way, so we are simply setting all user counts of given lib's datablocks to zero
(similar to rna_ID_user_clear()'s doing).
This is a bit crappy because it still lets datablocks floating around (with invalid
user count values), and requires a save & reload cycle to be finalized. But for now
it should be good enough. Propper implementation will be added to id-remap.

When children & parents were selected in the outliner,
it attempted to free the the object twice.

To reproduce the crash:
* Add some shapekeys to default cube.
* Add at least on driver (can be default empty one) to a shapekey value.
* **Make this driver visible in Outliner**.
* Delete all shapekeys.
* Undo.
* Crash.
Root of the issue is outliner reading code in `blo_lib_link_screen_restore()`,
which would try to `restore_pointer_by_name()` for all `TreeStoreElement->id` pointers.
Thing is, those id pointers are not always IDs, they can be animdata, sequence, RNA struct/property...
That's really not so great design, but also has reasons like size of the struct, we have to live with it.
So now:
* TreeStoreElement->type defines are braught back into DNA.
* There we also define a `TSE_IS_REAL_ID` macro to check whether a given TreeStoreElement actually stores an ID pointer or not.
* And in Outliner read code we only try to retore pointers by name for actual ID ones, and set the others to default NULL value.
Also, added clear comment to TSE types that do not store a real ID pointer!

on undo due to invalid mem access.
We cannot nuke treestore in readfile's `blo_lib_link_screen_restore()`, because this will
destroy all UI-state data (like opened/closed items, etc.).
Since we cannot know for sure whether an ID pointer from tselem->id is valid here, we
have to ensure they are never invalid, i.e. to always set them to NULL when we delete them.
To do so, this commit uses a similar approach as what already exists for ID references
in WM notifiers - it extends `free_notifier_reference_cb()` to also nullify those IDs in
all outliners.
Note that some ID types are not used(shown) by outliner currently, so `TREESTORE_ID_TYPE` macro
was added, that checks whether an ID is possibly used by outliner. Avoids a few searches
in whole tree whene deleting some IDs.

Many users have been requesting a way to remove unused datablocks from the file/session
"without closing and reopening" Blender (or at least that's the impression I'm getting).
This commit adds a new operator (exposed as the "Purge All" button in the header of
the "Orphaned Datablocks" mode in the Outliner, which seems to be the logical
place for this) for doing so. It does so by wrapping up the save and "revert"
(i.e. reload the saved file from disk, without needing to quit Blender) operators
along with a confirmation prompt for good measure.
Caveats:
* Ultimately, we still cannot really cleanly delete any datablocks from the current
session outright without reloading the file/data at some point. Thus, we do need
to reload the file again before it can be used.
* This does mean that this operation is irreversible. Notably, Undo history is lost
is doing this operation. Hence the warnings... (Then again, undo/redo actually
reloads the entire scene DB from memory, so it's not anything uncommon ;)
Other Notes:
* The addition of this operator brings this mode more into line with being a kind of
"Trashcan" place, with this new operator being the manual "Empty Trash" button.
If the "Orphaned Datablocks" name is too obscure, maybe we could rename this
mode to "Trash" or something similar?
