Use `FileHandlers` to handle file drag-n-drop in Node Editors. Drop-boxes
still remain since they handle Images ID drag-n-drop.
This also allows to open/drag-n-drop multiple files at once.
Also this will allow add-ons to also support drag-n-drop for images and
movies in node editors while still providing access to Blender's native
support since File Handlers let users choose which to invoke if there's
multiple configured.

`UUID` generally stands for "universally unique identifier". The session identifier that
we use is neither universally unique, nor does it follow the standard. Therefor, the term
"session uuid" is confusing and should be replaced.
In #116888 we briefly talked about a better name and ended up with "session uid".
The reason for "uid" instead of "id" is that the latter is a very overloaded term in Blender
already.
This patch changes all uses of "uuid" to "uid" where it's used in the context of a
"session uid". It's not always trivial to see whether a specific mention of "uuid" refers
to an actual uuid or something else. Therefore, I might have missed some renames.
I can't think of an automated way to differentiate the case.
BMesh also uses the term "uuid" sometimes in a the wrong context (e.g. `UUIDFaceStepItem`)
but there it also does not mean "session uid", so it's *not* changed by this patch.

Now that specific menus can be searched directly (see 7f9d51853c),
there is no need to maintain separate search functionality for adding
nodes. This PR removes the add node search. In a way this brings us
closer to the `NodeItem` situation before, but the setup is more
flexible since the menus are more standard and easier to customize.
In the few ways we customized the node search items before, this gives
us the same results as before. Overall the searching is less flexible,
but I think that is just a tradeoff we have to accept for the simplicity
of searching menus. In the future menus could be made more dynamic,
with each builtin node's menu path stored on the node type, similar to
assets. That might be a nice compromise. In the meantime this code
is just dead weight.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/112056
Use the same method for passing assets to an operator as the newer node
group operator menus. This supports quick favorites and shortcuts for
specific assets.
Also fix a crash when a dynamic submenu is added to quick favorites.
That still doesn't work though-- the menu ends up being empty.
There are a couple of functions that create rna pointers. For example
`RNA_main_pointer_create` and `RNA_pointer_create`. Currently, those
take an output parameter `r_ptr` as last argument. This patch changes
it so that the functions actually return a` PointerRNA` instead of using
the output parameters.
This has a few benefits:
* Output parameters should only be used when there is an actual benefit.
Otherwise, one should default to returning the value.
* It's simpler to use the API in the large majority of cases (note that this
patch reduces the number of lines of code).
* It allows the `PointerRNA` to be const on the call-site, if that is desired.
No performance regression has been measured in production files.
If one of these functions happened to be called in a hot loop where
there is a regression, the solution should be to use an inline function
there which allows the compiler to optimize it even better.

Blender File view was not listing the new group under "Node Groups"
after import (this is not covered by ED_node_tree_propagate_change() -
and probably shouldnt).
Added the dedicated notifier for this case in the operator.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111924
This was noted in code comments and checked in Python documentation
generation but not at build time.
Since these enums are identifiers that end up included in various places
enforce the `rna_enum_*_items` convention which was noted as
the convention but not followed strictly.
Partially reverts [0], avoids having to deal with multiple prefix types.

There was a difference between drag&drop assets from the asset browser
vs. using the search menu (in that doing it from the menu would
correctly hide the data-block selector on the nodegroup).
Since drag&drop in the Node Editor uses `NODE_OT_add_group` (not
`NODE_OT_add_group_asset` as the menu does), we have to add the hiding
here too (for this, an operator property is added which is set in
`node_group_drop_copy` if we are dropping an asset.
Alternatively, we could use `NODE_OT_add_group_asset`, too, but that
would require somehow setting the "asset" context pointer from the
dropbox copy function [how to do this wasnt obvious for me]. In that
case, we would need to set up a separate dropbox with appropriate poll
functions (so there would be one for asset groups and for the the other
groups).

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Reason was a difference in poll functions (dropbox poll function vs.
operator poll function).
So the dropbox was actually recognized as being active (see
`dropbox_active`) but then when actually dropping, the corresponding
operator wasnt called (but instead another operator was).
In detail, the way `wm_handlers_do_intern` works, it checks all
dropboxes poll function if one succeeds it calls the dropbox operator.
But if that operators poll function fails, `wm_handlers_do_intern`
happily continues and "ends" the drop operations in a way we dont
actually get to the "real" dropbox & operator that was also recognized
as being active.
In the case of the report:
- dropbox for `UI_OT_drop_name` is active
- dropbox poll for `NODE_OT_add_object` (`node_object_drop_poll`)
succeeds though
- operator poll for `NODE_OT_add_object` (`node_add_object_poll`) fails
(it checks `UI_but_active_drop_name` already)
So in order to make this work, add the check for `UI_but_active_drop_name` to two dropbox poll
functions (and remove from the operator polls).
Probably good for LTS as well.

With the end goal of simplifying ownership and memory management,
and allowing the use of `get_name` in contexts without statically
allocated strings, use `std::string` for the return values of these two
operator type callbacks instead of `const char *` and `char *`.
In the meantime things get uglier in some places. I'd expect `std::string`
to be used more in the future elsewhere in Blender though.

Using ClangBuildAnalyzer on the whole Blender build, it was pointing
out that BLI_math.h is the heaviest "header hub" (i.e. non tiny file
that is included a lot).
However, there's very little (actually zero) source files in Blender
that need "all the math" (base, colors, vectors, matrices,
quaternions, intersection, interpolation, statistics, solvers and
time). A common use case is source files needing just vectors, or
just vectors & matrices, or just colors etc. Actually, 181 files
were including the whole math thing without needing it at all.
This change removes BLI_math.h completely, and instead in all the
places that need it, includes BLI_math_vector.h or BLI_math_color.h
and so on.
Change from that:
- BLI_math_color.h was included 1399 times -> now 408 (took 114.0sec
to parse -> now 36.3sec)
- BLI_simd.h 1403 -> 418 (109.7sec -> 34.9sec).
Full rebuild of Blender (Apple M1, Xcode, RelWithDebInfo) is not
affected much (342sec -> 334sec). Most of benefit would be when
someone's changing BLI_simd.h or BLI_math_color.h or similar files,
that now there's 3x fewer files result in a recompile.
Pull Request #110944
The asset import method option was added after the additions that use
assets in the node editor, so the node editor features still always used
append and reuse, no matter the import method.
This commit improves the asset import function to use the asset's
import method, with "Append & Reuse" as a default.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/109706
The asset library reference isn't needed anymore for importing assets
since ccc9eef1b9. So it doesn't need to be set in the add menu context,
which simplifies code a bit.
`AssetHandle` is meant as temporary design and should be replaced by
`AssetRepresentation`. This moves us another step closer to that.
There's now an iterator for the asset-list that provides an asset
representation instead of an asset handle. Use that whenever the
representation provides all necessary data (i.e. when no preview image
access is required).
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
https://reuse.software/faq/
See: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/103343
Changes:
1. Added `BKE_node.hh` file. New file includes old one.
2. Functions moved to new file. Redundant `(void)`, `struct` are removed.
3. All cpp includes replaced from `.h` on `.hh`.
4. Everything in `BKE_node.hh` is on `blender::bke` namespace.
5. All implementation functions moved in namespace.
6. Function names (`BKE_node_*`) changed to `blender::bke::node_*`.
7. `eNodeSizePreset` now is a class, with renamed items.

The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
The Node Add menu can have special submenus containing node assets.
These submenus are generated by parsing the asset blend files from
release/datafiles/assets, and the interface drawing is specific to
these menus.
This commit enables the translation of these dynamic menus, including
their names and the description of the operators.
The crash is fixed by reverting 87fd798ae3 and
some follow up commits. While it would generally be nice to move to a more
SoA format for these things, we are not there yet and this is causing more
trouble than it's worth currently. The main difficulty is that the socket
indices are changed by many different operations which invalidates the array
too often and led to many follow up bugs.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/105877
Various UI code would store the `AssetHandle` in a way that turns out to
be unsafe. The file-data is part of the file browser caching system that
releases file-data when a certain maximum of items is in the cache. So
even while just iterating over the assets, earlier iterated asset
handles may become invalid. Now asset handles are really treated as
volatile, short lived objects.
For the asset-view, the fix was more involved. There we need an RNA
collection of asset-handles, because the UI list code requires that. So
we create a dummy collection and get the asset handles as needed by
index. This again meant that I had to keep the index of the collection
and the asset-list in sync, so all filtering had to be moved to the UI
list.
I tried duplicating the file-data out of the cache instead, but that
caused problems with managing the memory/ownership of the preview
images.
`AssetHandle` should be removed and replaced by `AssetRepresentation`,
but this would be an even more disruptive change (breaking API
compatibility too).
Fixes#104305, #105535.
Pull Request: #105773
Nodes are sorted based on the selection. In some cases (even depending
on processor speed, nodes can be selected and reordered, and another
operation can run before the next redraw). That gives a window where
operators mapped to the same input as selection can run with invalid
socket locations (which aren't updated after the nodes are reordered,
since they are stored in a separate array).
To fix this, move the socket locations from the node editor runtime
data to the node tree, tag them as invalid when the nodes are
reordered, and check for that status in a few more places.
A better longer term solution is not reordering nodes based on
UI status and instead storing the UI drawing order separately.
Pull Request #104420
Socket locations are set while drawing the node tree in the editor.
They can always be recalculated this way based on the node position and
other factors. Storing them in the socket is misleading. Plus, ideally
sockets would be quite small to store, this helps us move in that
direction.
Now the socket locations are stored as runtime data of the node editor,
making use of the new node topology cache's `index_in_tree` function
to make a SoA layout possible.

With the asset identifier introduced in the previous commit, we can now
locate an asset just from its `AssetRepresentation`, without requiring
information from the asset library and the file browser storage. With
this we can remove some hacks and function parameters. A RNA/BPY
function is also affected, but I didn't remove the paramter to keep
compatibility. It's simply ignored and not required anymore, noted this
in the parameter description (noted for T102877).
* This patch just moves runtime data to the runtime struct to cleanup
the dna struct. Arguably, some of this data should not even be there
because it's very use case specific. This can be cleaned up separately.
* `miniwidth` was removed completely, because it was not used anywhere.
The corresponding rna property `width_hidden` is kept to avoid
script breakage, but does not do anything (e.g. node wrangler sets it).
* Since rna is in C, some helper functions where added to access the
C++ runtime data from rna.
* This size of `bNode` decreases from 432 to 368 bytes.
