Generic context operators now look-up the RNA properties to extract
their description (when it's available).
Add `bl_rna_utils.data_path.property_definition_from_data_path()`
to handle the details of accessing the RNA property definition.
When an addon has been removed, but its `.pyc` files are still there,
the Python module can still be loaded. However, because `__init__.py` is
missing, it becomes a namespace instead of a module, and its `__file__`
will be set to `None`. As a result, it's impossible to get the mtime
from the file (because there is none).
This should not influence any regularly uninstalled add-on, as that
would just remove the add-on's directory; I ran into the problem when
switching Git branches caused an add-on's Python files to disappear
while keeping the `__pycache__` directory around.
- Only sort by the preset name (not it's directory).
- Remove redundant string conversion.
- Only call lower() once on the input.
- Don't assign the lambda to a variable for single use.
Expand is a new operator for Sculpt Mode which is intended to be the main
tool for masking, Face Set editing, interacting with the filters and pattern
creation.
The fundamentals of the tool are similar to the previous sculpt.mask_expand
operator. It shares the same default shortcuts and functionality, making
the previous operator obsolete.
The shortcuts to execute the operator are:
- Shift + A: Expand mask
- Shift + Alt + A: Expand mask by normals
- Shift + W: Expand Face Set
- Shift + Alt + W: Resize current Face Set
The main changes compared to the previous sculpt.mask_expand operator are:
- Modal keymap, all operator options can be changed in real time while the
operator is running.
- Supports creating Mask, Face Sets and Sculpt Vertex Colors.
- Much better code, new features can be easily integrated.
Limitations:
- All Mask operations are supported for Sculpt Vertex colors, but not exposed
by default as their support is still experimental.
- Dyntopo does not support any Face Set or Sculpt Vertex Colors. functionality
(they are not implemented in general for Dyntopo).
- Multires does not support any feature related to geodesic distances.
- Multires does not support vertex colors.
- Multires does not support recursions.
- In Multires, Face Sets snaping does not initialize all current enabled Face
Sets when toggling snapping.
- In Multires, Face Sets are created at base mesh level (works by this by
design, like any other tool).
- Unlike the previous mask_expand operator, this one does not blur the mask
by default after finishing Expand as that does not fit the new design.
The mask can still be blurred by using the mask filter manually.

rB1f5647c07d15 introduced for the first time a unicode escape in strings
to be translated, directly extracted from C-code itself.
This revealed that this case was not properly handled by current code,
for now we work around using `raw_unicode_escape` encoding/decoding of
python.
Support Python 3.10a5 or 3.9x with support explicitly enabled.
- Enable Python's postponed annotations for Blender's RNA classes
types registered on startup.
- Using postponed annotations has implications for how they are defined,
since they must evaluate in the modules name-space instead of the
classes name-space. See changes to annotations in `release/scripts`.
- Use `from __future__ import annotations` at the top of the module
to ensure the script will run with Python 3.10.
- Old logic is kept since it could be used if PEP-649 is supported.
Resolves T83626
Ref D10474
This is needed to support Python 3.10's `typing.get_type_hints`,
to access the name-space used when creating the class.
Also added a docstring for execfile.
Reloading preferences didn't update Python's `sys.path` to account
for the modified `script_directory`.
This meant the operator to load settings from a previous version
required a restart to initialize Python when this directory was set.
Adds an exception so that the key-binding `control + Tab` does not get
duplicated as `command + Tab` on macOS because this is a global system
shortcut for the app switcher.
The key-binding `command + Tab` was shown for the operators “Toggle
Graph Editor“ and “Toggle Dope Sheet” in Dope Sheet and Graph Editor,
but only `control + Tab` actually worked.

When adding a new preset the name would be converted to lower case and
then displayed in the interface in title case. This was confusing
because the name didn't reflect what was typed, and there are many cases
when the name shouldn't be forced into title case (like 8K UHDTV for
example).
This commit leaves the custom preset names in the original casing, and
removes the conversion of filenames to title case for preset lists.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D10224
Before committing D10224, bundled preset names that are lowercase need
updating to title case for display in the UI. This changes several of
the preset file names to title case, and fixes a couple of other naming
issues in the preset names. A few strings in the code are also changed
to reflect the new filename of the Blender keymap.
Try to detect if a given image may have valid alpha data or not (based
on number of channels and depth). This may be a bit doggy in theory, but
in practice it should cover most fields as expected. We can always
adjust the euristic here in other wrong cases appear.
This will affect all import add-ons using that node shader wrapper (at
least OBJ and FBX ones).
Fix Euler discontinuities in the Bake Action operator, by explicitly
using the previous Euler angles when converting from matrix to rotation.
This basically follows the same approach as used in e4ca1fc4ea, although
the Euler Discontinuity Filter also performs single-channel filtering which
the Bake Action operator doesn't.
This introduces the User Interface part of the Asset Browser, based on the
design in T54642.
Additions:
* New Asset Browser (internally a sub-editor of the File Browser).
* Navigation region showing asset categories.
* Main region showing the assets of the selected asset library with previews.
The assets may be stored over multiple .blends in the directory that's
"mounted" as asset library in the Preferences. They will all be shown in this
list.
* Header with an asset library dropdown, allowing to choose the active asset
library to show. Options are the "Current File" as asset library and all
custom libraries.
* Display popover, filter popover and search box (partially dummies, see
T82680).
* Sidebar showing the metadata of the currently active file (name, preview,
description and tags), which can be edited for assets in the "Current File"
asset library. (For others it will reset on reload.)
* The sidebar includes a button to load a custom preview image from a file.
* Make asset files draggable (with preview image).
* If a library with invalid path is selected, a message is drawn in the main
region to help the user understand what's wrong.
* Operators to add and remove asset tags. Exposed in the sidebar.
* "Only Assets" option for Link/Append.
* Internal utilities for asset UI scripts.
For screenshots or demo videos, please see D9725. Or the 2.92 release notes.
Note that there are many things to be tweaked and polished in the Asset Browser
UI still. For example, the filter and display popovers are mostly dummies. See
T82680.
