its property of focal length
- "Empty" can be an adjective meaning void, or an object type. The
latter is already disambiguated using `ID_ID`
- "New" and "Old" are adjectives that can have agreements in some
languages
- "Modified" is an adjective that can have agreement in some languages
- "Clipping" can be a property of a camera, or a behavior of the
mirror modifier
- "Value" in HSV nodes, see #105113
- "Area" in the Face Area geometry node, can mean a measurement or a
window type
- "New" is an adjective that can have agreement
- "Tab" can be a UI element or a whitespace character

These changes introduce the new `BLT_I18NCONTEXT_TIME` translation

They also remove `BLT_I18NCONTEXT_VIRTUAL_REALITY`, which I added at
one point but then couldn't find which messages I wanted to fix with
it.

Mistake in ba25023d22, updated the drawing code with the wrong function
call. So when setting the add-ons category to "User", add-ons installed
in the user paths (custom paths configured in Preferences) wouldn't show
up.
When loading an external file in the text editor, the footer text
stating "File: <file>" or "File: <file> (unsaved)" was not translated,
because the translation happened after string formatting, and the
message was thus not found in the po files.

It was that names of related "combo" operations
like Hue/Saturation/Value, *Dilate/Erode*
and Brightness/Contrast should be separated
by slashes in their names.
This patch changes this for the multiple nodes
and operators concerning Hue/Saturation/Value
across Blender.
Note1: This patch should only touch UI names
which do not need versioning and should not
break scripts.
Note2: This breaks first letter fuzzy search
for "hsv". It was noted by @HooglyBoogly that
the "/" character needs to be added to the
fuzzy search split list. Note however that such
search is already broken in Main for nodes like
Brightness/Contrast and Dilate/Erode which
already use slash separators
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/106721
Rename *Bright/Contrast* to *Brightness/Contrast* in order to avoid the use of shortened names and improve consistency within Blender and with industry conventions.
Reasoning:
The modified color characteristic is called *brightness*, not *bright*. You don't modify the *bright* of an image.
This also interferes with search in case someone searches for brightness, producing no results.
*Note: This patch should only touch UI names which do not need versioning. It leaves the actual property name in nodes for a future breaking release.*

Makes it possible to select multiple custom script directories in Preferences >
File Paths, replacing the single Scripts path option. Each of these directories
supports the regular script directory layout with a startup file (or files?),
add-ons, modules and presets.
When installing an add-on, the script directory can be chosen.
NOTE: Deprecates the `bpy.types.PreferencesFilePaths.script_directory`
property, and replaces `bpy.utils.script_path_pref` with
`bpy.utils.script_paths_pref`.

Introduce a context manager that temporarily overrides a UILayout's
operator context.
Instead of writing this:
```py
default_op_context = layout.context
layout.context = 'OTHER_VALUE'
layout.do_stuff()
layout.context = default_op_context
```
you can now write this:
```py
from bl_ui_utils.layout import operator_context
with operator_context(layout, 'OTHER_VALUE'):
layout.do_stuff()
```
This is also exception-safe; it will always ensure the layout's operator
context is restored when the `with` body is exited, regardless of
whether that's done with an exception or regularly.
Idea in-the-hallway approved by @Sergey.

Face Nearest only works with individual projection, so always set the

Also gray out the `Project Individual Elements` option in the UI if
`Face Nearest` is enabled.
And change the description to indicate that `Project Individual Elements`
is always enabled with the `Face Nearest` option.

This was an issue with the `operator_context`. It's a bit confusing because it
looks like every `uiLayout` has its own, but in `uiLayoutSetOperatorContext`
you can see that the `operator_context` is always set on the root layout for
some reason.
The fix is to set `INVOKE_REGION_WIN` as the operator context after it has been
set to something else (I found this to be the default by printing the operator
context before it was changed).

Add a Gaussian smoothing operator to supersede the current
smoothing operator in the graph editor.
Advantage over the current implementation:
* Supports modal operations
* Is independent of key density
* More options in the redo panel
* More predictable Impulse Response
Option in the redo panel to change
Filter Width: How far out on each side of a key the code checks
to average key values
Sigma: The shape of the bell curve, lower values make a sharper bell curve
reducing the smoothing effect.
Too High values will make the code behave like an average filter as the
curve in the -1/1 range will almost be flat.
On a technical note, the operator needs to store additional data when running in modal
to avoid allocating/deallocating data on every modal run.
For that reason the `tGraphSliderOp` struct has been extended with
`void *operator_data` and `void (*free_operator_data)(void *operator_data)`.
The former is the data and the latter is a function responsible for freeing that data.

Geometry Nodes: SDF Volume nodes milestone 1
Adds initial support for SDF volume creation and manipulation.
`SDF volume` is Blender's name of an OpenVDB grid of type Level Set.
See the discussion about naming in #91668.
The new nodes are:
- Mesh to SDF Volume: Converts a mesh to an SDF Volume
- Points to SDF Volume: Converts points to an SDF Volume
- Mean Filter SDF Volume: Applies a Mean Filter to an SDF
- Offset SDF Volume: Applies an offset to an SDF
- SDF Volume Sphere: Creates an SDF Volume in the shape of a sphere
For now an experimental option `New Volume Nodes` needs to be
enabled in Blender preferences for the nodes to be visible.
See the current work plan for Volume Nodes in #103248.

- Show/hide mask layers: the tooltip was confusing from a user's
perspective, because they should not be expected to know what a hide
flag is.
- Active Spline -> Active Point: likely a copy and paste error.
- Geo Nodes face is planar node: forgotten article.
- Axes, plural instead of axis for the viewport preferences. Here
there are several usages of axis or axes. Since they refer to
coordinate axes I believe they should be plural, even though the
property `mini_axis_type` is still wrong.

In most places where it appears in a menu, the operator would already
apply to all selected F-Curves. Now it is done consistently and explicitly
from all menu items. The default of the operator is now also set to 'all
selected', so that it also behaves like that when called from the operator
search menu.
This patch enables edge panning for the operators where there was
a mismatch in behaviour between using the shortcut `G` and the
"Move" operator exposed via the menu and operator search.
Commit 19da434e9c introduced a `view2d_edge_pan` property which
was activated for the translate operators invoked when pressing G in
the default keymap.
The property is not enabled by default, to avoid it getting in the
way in some cases, so the "Move" operators exposed via the menus
didn't have edge panning. This lead to inconsistent behavior between
moving via the shortcut or via the menu.

Move two settings that were previously in the "View" menu of the Graph Editor into User Preferences.

Only Selected Curve Keyframes
Use High Quality Display

Currently the shade smooth status for mesh faces is stored as part of
`MPoly::flag`. As described in #95967, this moves that information
to a separate boolean attribute. It also flips its status, so the
attribute is now called `sharp_face`, which mirrors the existing
`sharp_edge` attribute. The attribute doesn't need to be allocated
when all faces are smooth. Forward compatibility is kept until
4.0 like the other mesh refactors.
This will reduce memory bandwidth requirements for some operations,
since the array of booleans uses 12 times less memory than `MPoly`.
It also allows faces to be stored more efficiently in the future, since
the flag is now unused. It's also possible to use generic functions to
process the values. For example, finding whether there is a sharp face
is just `sharp_faces.contains(true)`.
The `shade_smooth` attribute is no longer accessible with geometry nodes.
Since there were dedicated accessor nodes for that data, that shouldn't
be a problem. That's difficult to version automatically since the named
attribute nodes could be used in arbitrary combinations.
**Implementation notes:**
- The attribute and array variables in the code use the `sharp_faces`
term, to be consistent with the user-facing "sharp faces" wording,
and to avoid requiring many renames when #101689 is implemented.
- Cycles now accesses smooth face status with the generic attribute,
to avoid overhead.
- Changing the zero-value from "smooth" to "flat" takes some care to
make sure defaults are the same.
- Versioning for the edge mode extrude node is particularly complex.
New nodes are added by versioning to propagate the attribute in its
old inverted state.
- A lot of access is still done through the `CustomData` API rather
than the attribute API because of a few functions. That can be
cleaned up easily in the future.
- In the future we would benefit from a way to store attributes as a
single value for when all faces are sharp.

Hello, this is a small PR to check that my understanding of #102427 is correct before moving on to the rest of the issue.
This PR contains the updated UI of the `Sculpt` menu only. Other menus will be submitted for review later.
Currently exposed operators:
* Move
* Rotate
* Scale
* Box Trim (Trim Mode ="Difference")
* Lasso Trim (Trim Mode ="Difference")
* Box Add (Trim Mode ="Join")
* Lasso Add (Trim Mode ="Join")
* Line Project
* Smooth
* Surface Smooth
* ~~Scale (Could be left out?)~~
* Inflate
* Random
* Relax Topology
* Relax Face Set Boundaries
* Sharpen
* Enhance Details
* Erase Displacement
The original issue specifies `Relax Face Set Boundaries` and `Erase Displacement`. I'm not quite sure if this is done in the UI code or somewhere else.

Indicating light colors by coloring the light icons.
Task: #104280
Pull Request: #105236
- Added a checkbox under overlay extra to enable/disable light coloring. Disabled by default.
- The outer ring and the sun rays are colored.
- Only the base color is shown, colors in nodes are not considered.
Since db6287873c, we added parenting (Keep Transform Without Inverse)
to the parent_set operator and exposed this in the UI in the invoke menu
of that operator.
This however never made it to the `Object` > `Parent` menu.
Since this is quite useful (and otherwise a bit hidden in the Adjust
Last Operation panel) and parent inverse can cause confusion in many
cases (see e.g. #105276 or #103969), now add this as an explicit entry
in the `Object` > `Parent` menu as well.
- "Lines" in the sense of number of lines
- "Number" can mean "amount, count" or "index, offset"
- "Second" can be an ordinal number or a unit
- "Root": add the brush curve to the "square root falloff" sense
- "Strip" can be a sequence or a type of hair rendering
- "Constant" in the sense of a value, for the Geometry Nodes add

Address some issues discussed in PR #104404:
- Vertex color options changed to None/sRGB/Linear, default is sRGB
to match the existing Python addon.
- Change name to "Stanford PLY" from "PLY" in the menu item.
- Default "Export UVs" to on.
- After importing vertex colors, they are set as enabled for render.
New (experimental) Stanford PLY importer and exporter written in C++.
Handles: vertices, faces, edges, vertex colors, normals, UVs. Both

Usually 10-20x faster than the existing Python based PLY

Additional notes compared to the previous Python addon:
- Importing point clouds with vertex colors now works
- Importing PLY files with non standard line endings
- Exporting multiple objects (previous exporter didn't take the vertex
indices into account)
- The importer has the option to merge vertices
- The exporter supports exporting loose edges and vertices along with
UV map data

The code of the 'Fix Deforms' operator was hard to read and inefficient, doing `O(num_vertices * num_vertex_groups)` evaluations of the mesh. It caused multiple issues and got in the way of improvements to Blender, and seems to be used very little (if ever).
It was decided in [last week's module meeting](https://devtalk.blender.org/t/2023-02-23-animation-rigging-meeting/27757#patch-review-decision-time-5) that this operator should be removed.

This commit adds the default .usdz export capability.
The importer already supports usdz so no change is required other than updating the text in menu to match the updated exporter text.
On export, a .usd/a/c file has to be created first, and then converted to .usdz. A weird change of directory is required because of a quirk with the USD conversion to usdz. If an absolute filepath is passed into the `UsdUtilsCreateNewUsdzPackage` function, the usd files inside the usdz archive will have the same directory structure, i.e. if one tries to create a file at `C:\code\BlenderProjects\file.usdz`, when the usdz file is created, inside it will have the structure `\code\BlenderProjects\file.usdc`.
This is counteracted by setting the current working directory to the temporary session directory where both the usdc and usdz files are created, and just passing the file name to `UsdUtilsCreateNewUsdzPackage` without any filepath. Once the usdz file is created it is moved to the intended directory.
There is a separate `UsdUtilsCreateNewARKitUsdzPackage` capability for exporting usdz for iOS devices that will be implemented in a follow up patch as it will require some more small UI changes.
