For many users, this will make the File Browser window behave more like
what they would expect. It addresses the issue of the File Browser
becoming hidden behind the main window by clicking anywhere in the
latter. It communicates the interruptive, but temporary nature of the
operation a bit better.
Further, on tiling window managers the File Browser now opens as
floating by default, like in other applications.
Note that this also makes sure the File Browser is always opened as
separate window, so it doesn't re-use the Preferences, or any other
temporary window anymore. This seems to have been a common annoyance.
More concretely, this makes the File Browser window behave as follows:
* Stays on top of its parent Blender window, but not on top of
non-Blender windows.
* Minimizes with its parent window
* Can be moved independently
* Doesn't add an own item in task bars
* Doesn't block other Blender windows (we may want to have this though)
* Opens as floating window for tiling window managers (e.g. i3wm/Sway)
Further notes:
* When opening a file browser from the Preference window (or any
temporary window), the main window, as the file browsers parent is
moved on top of the Preferences, which makes it seem like the
Preferences were closed. This is the general issue of bad secondary
window handling as window activation changes. I made it so that the
window is moved back once the file browser is closed.
This behavior is confusing and would be nice to avoid. It's a separate
issue though.
* On most window managers on Linux the temporary window can not be
minimized and maximized, they disable that for dialog windows.
* On Windows and macOS, only minimizing is disabled, as there is no
decent way yet to restore a window if it's not shown in the taskbar.

Part of T69652.
Update image undo to store buffers for each step:
- Undo buffers share tiles to avoid using too much memory.
- Undo support for different sized buffers
allowing operations such as crop or resize.
- Paint tiles have been split into separate API/storage.
- Painting speed wont be impacted significantly
since storing the extra tiles is done after the stroke & only
for the first undo step.
Resolves T61263, see D5939 for details.
This makes it so that some display related properties of the file
browser state are remembered in the Preferences. Otherwise, users often
end up doing the same set up work over and over again, so this is a
nice way to save users some work.
It's typical for other file browsers to remember their state too, so
another benefit is having a more conventional behavior, meeting user
expectations better.
Some points:
* We currently store: Window size, display type, thumbnail size,
enabled details-columns, sort options, "Show Hidden" option. More can
be added easily.
* No changes are stored to the Preferences if "Auto-save Preferences"
is disabled. This is how Quick Favorites behave too and it's a
reasonable way to make this behavior optional.
* The Preferences are only saved to permanent memory upon closing
Blender, following existing convention of Preferences and Quick
Favorites.
* If settings weren't actually changed, Preference saving is skipped.
* Only temporary file browsers save their state (invoked through
actions like open or save), not regular file browser editors. These
are usually used for different purposes and workflows.
* Removes "Show Thumbnails" Preferences option. It would need some
special handling, possibly introducing bugs. For users, this
simplifies behavior and should make things more predictable.
Left in DNA data in case we decide to bring it back.

The 'add mode' was a `short` between -1 and 2 inclusive, and magic numbers
sprinkled throughout the code. It's now an enum with descriptive names.
No functional changes.
When using the samples, the interpolated points get abrupt steps because the system cannot receive all events in a short period of time.
This is more noticeable when the samples are set to 10 and the pen is moved very fast. The problem with post-processing smooth is that is applied to all stroke and this removes details.
The smart smooth is automatic and detect only the segments in the stroke where the system was unable to capture all movements and apply a smooth algorithm.
Caused by rB914427afd512.
Since above commit 'pe_get_current' checks for an active depsgraph. This
caused the skipping of handling
`PT_CACHE_EDIT_UPDATE_PARTICLE_FROM_EVAL`for everything calling
`PE_get_current` (this passes a NULL depsgraph as opposed to
`PE_create_current`). So we now pass a depsgraph here as well...
Note there are two RNA cases where we pass NULL, namely
- rna_ParticleEdit_editable_get
- rna_ParticleEdit_hair_get
I guess these should be fine though (no functional change to current
master)

This change makes it so motion paths are using minimal possible

path targets.

Particularly noticeable when vertex painting with a subsurf modifier.
In some cases every sculpt or paint stroke step would evaluate the dependency
graph. This should only happen for redraws. Now more selectively choose if the
dependency graph should be evaluated to initialize the view context. Doing it
in the view context evaluation is somewhat hidden, now it's more explicit.

Support per-viewport collection visibility options.
Note 1: There is no way to show a collection that was not visible before
due to depsgraph. Otherwise we would risk having all the collections in
the depsgraph and I believe this is not the idea.
An alternative would be to have a new depsgraph for viewports that are
not local. Something to keep in mind if we do per-viewport current frame
in the future.
So for now what we do is to only allow collections visibility to be
disabled/hidden in this mode.
Note 2: hide_viewport (the eye icon) doesn't really matter for
depsgraph. So after the merge we can still ignore it to show the
collections locally in a viewport with no problems for the depsgraph.

Adds back auto-completion and auto-creation (inserting a non-existing
file-path would create it) for the file path button. The second feature
was left out knowingly, but seems there are reasonable use cases for it.
We can't add these features to the button in the Python script, we have
to call into C. So using a template to do that.
Note that this is based on the old file browser code, I've copied over
the TODO comment.
Remove unused OBJECT_OT_mode_set_or_submode, add
OBJECT_OT_mode_set_with_submode which can switch to edit mode as well
as a sub-mode - currently only mesh select mode is supported

As an inherent property of matrix-based transformation math, non-
uniform scaling of a parent bone induces shear into the transform
matrix of any rotated child. Such matrices cannot be cleanly
decomposed into a combination of location/rotation/scale, which
causes issues for rigging and animation tools.
Blender bones have options to exclude rotation and/or scale from the
inherited transformation, but don't have any support for removing the
often undesired shear component. That goal requires replacing simple
parenting with a combination of multiple bones and constraints. The
same is true about the goal of inheriting some scale, but completely
avoiding shear.
This patch replaces the old Inherit Scale checkbox with a enum that
supports multiple options:
* Full: inherit all effects of scale, like with enabled Inherit Scale.
* Fix Shear: removes shear from the final inherited transformation.
The cleanup math is specifically designed to preserve the main
axis of the bone, its length and total volume, and minimally
affect roll on average. It however will not prevent reappearance
of shear due to local rotation of the child or its children.
* Average: inherit uniform scale that represents the parent volume.
This is the simplest foolproof solution that will inherit some
scale without ever causing shear.
* None: completely remove scale and shear.
* None (Legacy): old disabled Inherit Scale checkbox.
This mode does not handle parent shear in any way, so the child
is likely to end up having both scale and shear. It is retained
for backward compatibility.
Since many rigging-related addons access the use_inherit_scale
property from Python, it is retained as a backward compatibility
stub that provides the old functionality.
As a side effect of reworking the code, this also fixes a matrix
multiplication order bug in the Inherit Rotation code, which caused
the parent local scale to be applied in world space. In rigger
opinion this option is useless in production rigs, so this fix
should not be a problem.

This is a general redesign of the File Browser GUI and interaction
methods. For screenshots, check patch D5601.
Main changes in short:
* File Browser as floating window
* New layout of regions
* Popovers for view and filter options
* Vertical list view with interactive column header
* New and updated icons
* Keymap consistency fixes
* Many tweaks and fixes to the drawing of views
----
General:
* The file browser now opens as temporary floating window. It closes on
Esc. The header is hidden then.
* When the file browser is opened as regular editor, the header remains
visible.
* All file browser regions are now defined in Python (the button
layout).
* Adjusted related operator UI names.
Keymap:
Keymap is now consistent with other list-based views in Blender, such as
the Outliner.
* Left click to select, double-click to open
* Right-click context menus
* Shift-click to fill selection
* Ctrl-click to extend selection
Operator options:
These previously overlapped with the source list, which caused numerous
issues with resizing and presenting many settings in a small panel area.
It was also generally inconsistent with Blender.
* Moved to new sidebar, which can easily be shown or hidden using a
prominent Options toggle.
* IO operators have new layouts to match this new sidebar, using
sub-panels. This will have to be committed separately (Add-on
repository).
* If operators want to show the options by default, they have the option
to do so (see `WM_FILESEL_SHOW_PROPS`, `hide_props_region`), otherwise
they are hidden by default.
General Layout:
The layout has been changed to be simpler, more standard, and fits
better in with Blender 2.8.
* More conventional layout (file path at top, file name at the bottom,
execute/cancel buttons in bottom right).
* Use of popovers to group controls, and allow for more descriptive
naming.
* Search box is always live now, just like Outliner.
Views:
* Date Modified column combines both date and time, also uses user
friendly strings for recent dates (i.e. "Yesterday", "Today").
* Details columns (file size, modification date/time) are now toggleable
for all display types, they are not hardcoded per display type.
* File sizes now show as B, KB, MB, ... rather than B, KiB, MiB, … They
are now also calculated using base 10 of course.
* Option to sort in inverse order.
Vertical List View:
* This view now used a much simpler single vertical list with columns
for information.
* Users can click on the headers of these columns to order by that
category, and click again to reverse the ordering.
Icons:
* Updated icons by Jendrzych, with better centering.
* Files and folders have new icons in Icon view.
* Both files and folders have reworked superimposed icons that show
users the file/folder type.
* 3D file documents correctly use the 3d file icon, which was unused
previously.
* Workspaces now show their icon on Link/Append - also when listed in
the Outliner.
Minor Python-API breakage:
* `bpy.types.FileSelectParams.display_type`: `LIST_SHORT` and
`LIST_LONG` are replaced by `LIST_VERTICAL` and `LIST_HORIZONTAL`.
Removes the feature where directories would automatically be created if
they are entered into the file path text button, but don't exist. We
were not sure if users use it enough to keep it. We can definitely bring
it back.
