Use __repr__ for formatting file instead of __str__ because non-standard
characters will be escaped and the string will be properly quoted.
Also, a modules __file__ is not *guaranteed* to be a string
(although it almost always is), nevertheless, __repr__ generally
results more more humanly readable results.
Note that __repr__ was already used to format __file__ in most places.
This PR implements the Cutter Tool for GPv3. The Cutter tool deletes
points in between intersecting strokes. New points are created at the
exact intersection points, so as a result the cutted strokes will fit
perfectly.
For feature parity, the tool follows the GPv2 behavior:
- The cutter tool works on all editable layers.
- Intersections are only detected for curves on the same layer,
so intersection of curves on _seperate_ layers are not handled.
Technical notes
The implementation uses the `compute_topology_change` function
created for the Hard Eraser. So at intersection points, point
attributes will be interpolated.

Compute shaders are required since 4.0. There was one occasion where
an older AMD driver failed and support was turned off. This driver
is now marked unsupported.
This PR includes:
- removing the check in viewport compositing
- remove properties from system info
- always construct draw manager.
- remove unused pass logic in draw hair/curves
- add deprecation warning when accessed from python
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/120909
Adds the primitive tools in draw mode to GPv3.
This also adds rotation and scale sub-operators with `r` and `s` keybinds.
Also all control points are editable after extruding.

Support freedesktop file association on Linux/Unix via the command line
arguments: `--register{-allusers}` `--unregister{-allusers}` as well
registration actions from the user preferences.
Once registered, the "Blender" application is available from launchers
and `*.blend` files are assoisated with the blender binary used for
registration.
The following operations are performed:
- Setup the desktop file.
- Setup the file association & make it default.
- Copy the icon.
- Setup the thumbnailer (`--register-allusers` only).
Notes:
- Registering/unregistering for all users manipulates files under
`/usr/local` and requires running Blender as root.
From the command line this can be done using `sudo`, e.g.
`sudo ./blender --register-allusers`.
From the GUI, the `pkexec` command is used.
- Recent versions of GNOME execute the thumbnailer in a restricted
environment (`bwrap`) requiring `blender-thumbnailer` to be copied
into `/usr/local/bin` (synlinks don't work).
So thumbnailing copies the binary rather than linking and only works
when registering for all users.

Extract
- Statuses for the external text editor
- Newly created enum node item
- Newly created plane track data
- Newly created custom orientation data
- Operator names in drag and drop menu (need to use operator's
translation context)
- GN attribute statistic node inputs
Disambiguate
- Single-letter colors: A and B can mean Alpha and Blue, or simply A
and B as in two operands in an operation
- Dissolve: issue reported by Tamar Mebonia in #43295
- Translate in the User Preferences. This introduces a new
BLT_I18NCONTEXT_EDITOR_PREFERENCES ("Preferences") translation
context
- Planar (reported by deathblood)
This one is incomplete, because there is currently no way to
disambiguate presets or GN fields. I don't see how either could be
achieved cleanly.
The former would need to define the context inside the preset and
evaluate the file prior to showing it in the presets menu, which
sound bad.
The latter would need to introduce an additional string inside
`FieldInput`s, which would be controversial given how little it
would be used.
Remove
- Unused translation `iface_("%s")` in toolbar
- Remove obsolete N_() tags in a few node descriptions.

Shows either "Search by Name" or "Search by Key-Binding" as placeholder text in
the search button. This makes it more clear what's expected to be entered here.
Personally I often did/do the mistake of searching for the wrong thing in this
button, because I forgot that I changed it earlier. The placeholder text can
avoid this mistake.

This implements the ability to have file exporters added and configured on Collections.
Exporting is reachable from several locations:
- Individually on each exporter configuration: The `Export` button in each panel header
- For all exporters on the collection: The `Export All` button in the main panel interface
- For all exporters on all collections in the scene: The `File`->`Export All Collections` button
Visibility of which collections currently have exporters configured is done by ways of an icon added to the Collection row in the Outliner.
Adding multiple exporters for the same file type is permitted. The user is free to setup several exports of the same format but with different file locations or settings etc.
Notes:
Only USD and Wavefront OBJ are enabled for the initial commit. Additional formats, including those implemented in Python will be added as separate commits after this.

Provide common implementations for two operations that all Python
FileHandlers will typically use.
- `poll_file_object_drop` To be used inside the FileHandler `poll_drop`
callback
- `invoke_popup` To be used inside the Operator `invoke` callback
The above code closely mirrors what is currently done inside the
existing Blender c++ FileHandlers.

Replace: `{BLENDER_RESOURCE_PATH_USER}/extensions`
With: `{BLENDER_USER_EXTENSIONS}`
This follows BLENDER_USER_CONFIG & BLENDER_USER_SCRIPTS conventions.
Reading the environment variable and accessible via
`bpy.utils.user_resource('SCRIPTS')`
This was only used on WIN32 when the temporary directory didn't exist.
When the check was added [0] this made some sense because it relied on
`U.tempdir` existing, since then additional checks have been added to
ensure a temporary directory can be used. Further, this fall-back
location isn't documented in the user manual.

When loading an add-on without a __file__ set the "cause" was empty.
Now the modules __path__ is included (when available) which points
to the path that failed to load to help with troubleshooting.
Although this error isn't specific to extensions, extensions containing
a blender_manifest.toml but no __init__.py would import a module
with the __file__ set to None.
While there is logic to handle this case, it didn't account for modules
already in sys.modules with __file__ set to None.
From a user perspective enabling the extension silently failed raising
an error on the second attempt to enable.
Our `node_shader_utils.py` module needs to be updated to account for API
changes made during the 4.0 release cycle [1].
Here we need to guard against accessing the "Location" node input if not
dealing with the appropriate type of Mapping node.

Add support for add-ons to define commands using the new argument
`-c` or `--command`.
Commands behave as follows:
- Passing in a command enables background mode without the need to pass
in `--background`.
- All arguments following the command are passed to the command
(without the need to use the `--` argument).
- Add-ons can define their own commands via
`bpy.utils.register_cli_command` (see examples in API docs).
- Passing in `--command help` lists all available commands.

This patch adds the maximum number of supported image units to the GPU
capabilities module. Currently, the GPU module assume a maximum of 8
units, so the patch is not currently particularly useful, but we can
consider committing it for the future anyways.

This fixes#116096 and is based on #115249 with some changes.
This patch contains three changes:
* `NodeSocket.links` in the Python API gives the links in the correct order.
* `NodeLink.multi_input_sort_id` gives read-only access to an id that's used
for sorting. Note that for historical reasons the highest id is the first link.
* `NodeLink.swap_multi_input_sort_id(other_link)` provides a safe way to
change the order of links connected to a multi-input socket.

This allows it to be exposed in the user interface when the
custom-directory is disabled without having to use a label which can't
handle non UTF-8 characters which file-paths can contain.
