- Layout changes
- Use panels instead of boxes resulting in a more compact UI,
more suitable to the drag-and-drop UI.
- Make all enum options to drop-down menus.
- Rename the title of `Position` box to `Transform`.
- Remove sub-headers `Plane dimensions`,
`Orientation` under Transform box.
- Move offset related options to the bottom. Importing a single
plane would be more common use case.
- Rename "Animate Image Sequences" to "Detect Image Sequences".
- Rename several labels and option names. Since drop-down allows more
space, make some option names verbose.
- Remove the warning `'Opaque' does not support alpha`. It should be
obvious from usual Blender usage, and doesn't need a special warning
from the add-on.
- Disable Alpha Mode options instead of hiding it when use alpha is
unchecked.
- Hide Track Camera option instead of disabling it when supported
align modes are selected.
- Fix or rewrite several tool-tips.

Removing the check for an empty repository list isn't correct when
only polling the active repository. Restore the check with a more
detailed error message.
Blender is offline by default. There is no need to mention that unless the user
went out of their way to make it offline (with the --offline-mode argument).
This is still waiting for the offline icon #122225. Using the internet
icon meanwhile.

This PR adds the *Polyline Mask*, *Polyline Face Set*, and
*Polyline Trim* tools.
## Limitations
* *Polyline Face Set* is not added to either of the *Sculpt*
or *Face Sets* menu as none of the other face set gestures are in
either.

The same tooltip is used for Update. Which didn't make much sense as it
was (since it was suggesting that it was enabling the extension).
Simplifying the message now.
Fixup for: 31f7016ba9
Co-authored by Pablo Vazquez.
This PR adds the `Line Face Set` tool and adds it to the following
location:
* Sculpt Mode toolbar
## Limitations
None of the existing Face Set gesture operators exist in either the
Sculpt dropdown or the Face Set dropdown, this PR does not add the Line
Face set tool in either location as well.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/122245
This PR adds a new operator: `PAINT_OT_visibility_edit` to support
iteratively expanding or shrinking the visibility of a mesh, similar to
the *Grow / Shrink Mask* actions and the *Grow / Shrink Face Set*
options. This operator is exposed via two new entries in the *Sculpt*
toolbar entry as *Show More* and *Show Less* and have also been
assigned to Page Up and Page Down in the default Blender keybinds for
Sculpt Mode.
### Technical Details
Each of the PBVH types is solved slightly differently, though the
general principle for each is as follows:
1. Make a copy of the current mesh visibility state
2. Iterate over elements (faces & corners if available, otherwise
vertices) to look at adjacency information
3. Apply appropriate visibility change to vertices
4. Sync face visibility
### Limitations
* Currently, like all other operators in the `paint_hide.cc` file. This
new operator is limited to Sculpt mode only.

As Node Wrangler add-on is moving to extensions platform and maybe isn't shipped
with Blender from 4.2 onwards, some of it's more important functionalities which are
crucial for Blender UX can be ported inside core. Also see #121749.
This PR ports "Preview Node" operator from add-on inside `scripts/startup/bl_operators`.
When Shift-Ctrl (or Shift-Alt) clicked on the node operator connects output socket of the
node to active Output node in the tree (group, material, light, or world output). For Geometry
Nodes this is just handy operator, but in Shader Nodes, because Viewer Node isn't
implemented, this has always been the only way to quickly preview nodes by connecting
it to Material Output.
Changes made from Node Wrangler version:
- Renamed operator from "Preview Node" to "**Connect to Output**", because node previews
already mean a different thing in context of compositor and shader editor, and viewer node
is used for previewing in geometry nodes. Connect to Output is correct name because in every
context it's called that's what it does.
- Assigned shortcut Shift-Alt-Click in shader editor as well. Even though Shift-Ctrl click already
works, it's good to have consistency with geometry nodes, so that users can use same shortcut
in both contexts.
Operator doesn't work in compositor. It's not clear if that's wanted (to connect to Composite node),
and if it is it'll be added in separate PR.

This node allows replacing the transformation of every instance by providing a matrix.
Before, this was only possible by using the Store Named Attribute node. It's more common
in Blender to have specialized built-in nodes for built-in attributes (e.g. Set Position, and Set ID).

While easier to understand, the conventionnal global
scene thickness parameter have some downside:
- It doesn't scale with larger scenes since the
distant samples have small thickness
- It doesn't handle fine geometric variation in
foreground.
The proposed angular thicknes makes all sample
have the same angular span. This makes it
distance independant and capture different occluder
thickness with less artifacts. The downside is
that the occluders have the same angular span
at any distance which makes the same occluder inflate
with distance.
A downside is that the geometry near the shading point is
under-represented. Leaving light leaking or lack of AO
at contact points. To fix this, we introduce back a
geometric thickness parameter.

When importing images as planes, on Size Mode update, this error would
be raised in the console because the update tried to assign a value to
a nonexistent member of the class:
Ref: !122343
Extract
- Add to Quick Favorites tooltip.
- "Mask", the name of a newly created mask (DATA_).
- "New" in the context of the new mask ID button.
- A few strings using BLI_STR_UTF8_ defines were not extracted.
Take the special characters out of the translation macros.
- "External" menu items from the filebrowser's Files context
menu (right-click on a file). These items were already extracted,
but not translated.
Improve
- Separate formatted error message "%s is not compatible with
["the specified", "any"] 'refresh' options" into two messages.
Disambiguate
- Use Action context for new F-modifiers' names. This is already used
for the "type" operator prop.
- Translate ImportHelper's default confirmation text using the
Operator context, as it uses the operator name which is extracted
with this context.
- "Scale" can be a noun, the scale of something, or a verb, to scale
something. The latter mostly uses the Operator context, so apply
this context to verbs, and the default contexts to nouns.
- "Scale Influence" can mean "Influence on Scale" (tracking
stabilization) and "to Scale the Influence" (dynamic paint canvas).
- "Object Line Art" as type of Line Art to add, as opposed to the
active object's Line Art settings.
- Float to Integer node: use NodeTree context for the node label, as
this is already extracted and used for the enum.
Do not translate
- Sequencer labels containing only a string formatting field.

An extension's optional "tagline" field is equivalent to a legacy
add-on's "description". This allows exposing the tagline as a
description in `bl_info`.
The main goal of this change is to expose extension taglines to the
translations, since the legacy description was already extracted.

Some UI elements (row and column) can define a heading text.
Optionally, this text can use a custom translation context specified
through `heading_text`. This changes allows extraction of those
headings using the appropriate context instead of the default one.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/122326
This new `Method` property allows to replace Diffuse GI
by simple ambient occlusion. This can be desirable for
performance or look.
This doesn't add the memory savings but there are already
some performance gain by using this option.
Strings built by concatenating literals and pre-processor-defined
strings would lock the code extracting them for i18n forever.
This commit 'fixes' the issue by adding some support for these cases in
the `inbetween` regex snippet part of the 'extract string' complex regex
system, to avoid the lock.
The code has no way currently to extract the value of these defines
though, so they should not be used in translated strings.
NOTE: PR !122283 should do a propoer fix to these issues, by refactoring
the string building such that only actual strings pieces get processed
by the translation code.
Implementation of the proposal in: #121535
When drawing with "project to surface" turned on, it is now possible to restrict the projection to only the selected objects.
This is really useful for drawing onto surfaces that has a lot of detail meshes that you don't want to project onto.
- Allow versions from bl_info to be strings
Versions are now allowed to be strings in extensions using
blender_manifest.toml, so this commit prevents them from being badly
formatted on extraction to add-on translations.
- Do not export Blender copyright text to add-on translations
This text is only relevant for Blender and maybe core add-ons, not
for the general case.
- Copy comment lines from add-on .po files to .py translations
Without this comments added by translators could be lost since they
were not copied over to the Python files.
- Fix indentation in add-on translations
Some lines in the translation dict were off by a few spaces. This
resulted in linting tools complaining about the indentation.
- Do not escape messages in add-on translations multiple times
When extracting add-on messages, they would get escaped multiple
times, resulting in invalid strings when they contained quotes for
example.
This happened because on updating the messages from the ref
ones (those actually extracted from Blender), each ref I18nMessage
would be assigned to the corresponding language I18nMessage, without
copy. When this message was escaped, it happened once for every
language since they were actually the same object.
To avoid this, I18nMessage objects are copied when merging.

Add the operator from the io_import_images_as_planes add-on,
making it a built-in operator.
The main differences with the add-on are:
- Compositor integration has been removed.
- The file handler for dropping images has been removed
to avoid a popup whenever images are dropped onto Blender.
There were also changes to follow Blender's core scripts more closely:
- Defer imports where possible.
- Use `str.format`.
- Use double-quotes for non-enum strings.
- Remove or "_" prefix unused arguments.
- Avoid unnecessary use back-slashes for wrapping lines.
Otherwise all other functionality has been kept.

This allow to reduce the amount of noise and reduce
the lost energy caused by low thickness and large
stride (low sample count).
Actual number of rays is twice the UI count.
The reasonning is that we already have a resolution limit
slider per light.
The global shadow resolution scale is usefull as a quick
speedup option to reduce shadow cost for viewport regular
work or for quick rendering. For final render, the per
light resolution limit is more suited than a LOD scale
since it doesn't modify the filtering of based on distance
from the camera.
This feature is really not hard to add back if there is
a compelling use case for it.
