This patch redesigns the File Output node to provide better UX and UI.
This is mainly achieved by allowing the user to create inputs by
dragging into an Extend socket and adjust existing inputs using the
familiar UI list design available in Blender. Additionally, various UI
changes were done:
- The Use Node Format option was renamed to Override Node Format for
clarity.
- Socket types are now fixed and do not change as new links are made,
allowing users to specify the exact output type and employ implicit
conversion if needed.
- The distinction between images and Multi-Layer EXR was made clearer.
- Final output paths are drawn in the UI to remove guess work.
- The Base Path was split into a Directory and a File Name.
- Panels were added to group options, include a panel for the node
format, items, and item formats.

This patch improves warnings displayed when the user attempts to use
passes in render engines other than EEVEE with the viewport compositor.
Previously, an error icon was always displayed if the viewport
compositor was in use as well as a viewport overlay text. This error
existed even when the render engine was set to EEVEE and even if the
passes are not actually used, which was always confusing for users.
This patch improves this by only displaying the error when a pass is
actually used and when a non-EEVEE render engine is used.
This is implemented internally as an extra info callback for the node.
And the compositor_unsupported_message member hack was removed.

The Keying node asserts if its input is single value or not connected.
This is due to a typo when getting the input, where the output was used
instead.
The morphology operations in the Keying node in the compositor can no
longer do erosion by using negative Feather and Dilate inputs. Clamping
to positive values was accidentally done when porting options to inputs,
so this patch fixes this by removing the clamping.
Output nodes typically don't have a preview (see also ed13dad0). Also,
it is not clear what should be shown as a preview, especially when the
file output node can have an arbitrary number of inputs of different
types.
This commit removes the preview for the File Output node.

The compositor ignores translation in certain nodes like Corner Pin.
Users find this unexpected as adjusting the translation of the input has
no effect on the output. The only alternative logical thing to do if
translation exists is to clip the image, which this patch do.
This affects the following nodes:
- File Output.
- Map UV (Image input).
- Corner Pin.
- Plane Track Deform.
- Bokeh Blur (Bokeh Kernel input).
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/144049
This commit introduces the extension modes to the corner pin node and
further streamlines the node properties by wrapping all props in the node
storage. Therefore, the interpolation mode has been removed from the
custom properties of the node and moved into the node storage.
Right now, the extension modes only work for non-anisotropic filtering.

The Inpaint node produces inconsistent results across different GPUs,
where it produces different results on Intel Windows GPU platforms. This
is due to a mismatch between the precision declared for the shader and
that of the allocated textures. To fix this, we make sure the shader
uses the same precision as the allocates results.

The Map UV node does not work when the UV input is a single value, where
it is expected that the output will also be single value. This was
simply not implemented for GPU, so this patch does that.

This commit introduces the extension modes for the map UV node. The
drop-down for the extension modes is only shown if the interpolation
mode is not set to anisotropic. This is due to extension modes currently
not being supported for the anisotropic filtering.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/143415
The node uses anisotropic sampling (which is currently not supported for the
extension mode), so extension modes are only rendered in the node if any
other interpolation method, but anisotropic is selected.

Makes the File Output node panel similar to the Render Output node.
Instead of a dropdown, color management enum property expanded in UI.
Color management settings are now moved inside a panel.
Add/remove file subpapth buttons moved to the side of UIList.

This patch moves the rules that alias Image to Combined for pass names
to the context implementations. This is because this only makes sense
for contexts that deal with passes, while it wouldn't make much sense
for other possible contexts like VSE modifiers.

Use `BLI_strncpy_utf8` & `BLI_snprintf_utf8` for fixed size buffers in
DNA and screen data structures such as panels, menus & operators.
This could be considered a fix as copying a UTF8 string into a smaller
buffer without proper truncation can create an invalid UTF8 sequence.
However identifying which of these users are likely to run into would
be time consuming and not especially useful.
This patch improves the realism of the Fog Glow mode of the Glare node
based on the Photopic model described in:
Physically-Based Glare Effects for Digital Images" by G. Spencer, P.
Shirley, K. Zimmerman, and D. P. Greenberg.
This is a breaking change that can't be versioned, but it is worth it
for the superior realism of the new model.

This patch replaces the Composite node with the Group Output node as the
primary compositor output. The old node was removed and versioned. This
was done for consistency with Geometry Nodes and in preparation for more
generic use of the compositor in VSE modifiers, layered compositing, NPR
multi-stage compositing, and more.
The Group Output node relies on the node tree interface, so we now have
a default interface of a single input and a single output. For now, only
the first input is considered while the rest are ignored, just like the
Geometry Nodes design. Furthermore, the input is required to be of type
color. Warnings and errors are issues if any of those are not met, also
similar to Geometry Nodes.
This introduces a new limitation: Composite outputs can no longer exist
in node groups, since they obviously then act as their respective group
outputs.
A refactor for the compositor scheduler is needed to simplify the logic
after this change, but this will be done in a separate patch.

The Cryptomatte node crashes when the source is an image sequence with a
changing structure. That's because the code that identifies the EXR layer
where the Cryptomatte layers lives is not thread safe, as the render
result might change while looping over the layers. To fix this, we
acquire the render result while looping.

Node:
- Rename "Z Combine" node to "Depth Combine"
Sockets:
- First input "Image" -> "A"
- Second input "Image" -> "B"
- First Z -> "Depth A"
- Second Z -> "Depth B"
- Output Image -> "Result"
- Output Z -> "Depth"
This is a breaking change for the Python API

This patch integrate the Sun Beams node into the Glare node as a new
mode. This is done because the Sun Beams node is mostly useless on its
own because it does no thresholding or addition, making it very hard to
use. On the other hand, the Glare node already does thresholding and
addition, so Sun Beams fits perfectly in it.
