- Suppress the warning entirely when the "first time" message
requesting online access is shown as it adds unnecessary noise.
- Otherwise, when offline, show a message suggesting to allow online
access or disable the repository.
The sync with remote repositories would lock-up the interface with no
way to cancel. This could be a problem especially on slow connections.
The operator dialog is now shows the state of syncing which can
be canceled by pressing Escape or clicking away from the dialog.
Port `GPENCIL_OT_layer_duplicate_object` operator to new structure.
New function created to duplicate layer and its frames. This could also
be used in duplicate_layer operator later.

The default "System" repository which was ordered before "User Default",
order system repositories last as these are a special case many users
won't touch.
- Optionally generate a simple HTML page (using --html).
- Links include repository, blender_versnon_* & platform information,
so the information can be used by blender when links are dropped
into Blender.
- Support using a template as the default HTML is primitive.
- Disable enabling on install when installing marked.
This simplifies installing many packages from a repository which can
be useful for testing.
- Fix an error installing marked when a local-only package was marked.
When syncing in the background the UI could refresh immediately
before clicking making it possible for the user to install the wrong
extension. Since install also enables the extension, it meant it was
too easy to accidentally run untrusted code.
Disable install/upgrade while sync runs.
Also tweak text alignment and use round brackets for "(disabled)"
extensions.
Use a per-extension menu so extra functionality can be accessed from
one place.
- The install/upgrade button remains top-level.
- "Uninstall" and "Visit Website" have been moved into the menu.
- Theme extensions can be set from the menu.
- Installed add-on extensions have a "View Details" menu item
to switch to the add-ons view (useful to access preferences).
Based on design by Pablo & Dalai.

Add back the "Add-ons" preferences, removing add-on logic from
extensions.
- Add support for filtering add-ons by tags
(separate from extension tags).
- Tags now respect the "Only Enabled" option.
- Remove the ability to enable/disable add-ons from extensions.
- Remove add-on preferences from extensions.
- Remove "Legacy" & "Core" prefix from add-on names.
- Remove "Show Legacy Add-ons" filtering option.
Implements design task #122735.
Details:
- Add-on names and descriptions are no longer translated,
since it's impractical to translate text which is mostly
maintained outside of Blender.
- Extensions names have a `[disabled]` suffix when disabled so it's
possible to identify installed but disabled extensions.
- The add-on "type" is shown in the details,
so it's possible to tell the difference between an extension,
a core add-on & a legacy user add-on.
- Icons are also used to differentiate the add-on type.
- User add-on's must be uninstalled from the add-ons section
(matching 4.1 behavior).
- Simplify logic for filtering tags, move into a function.
Assert is due to wrong bounds passed to `std::clamp`. There seems no
error in UI code, instead this occurs due to `layout.label()`. It
returns an error due to missing case of `SCULPT_GREASE_PENCIL`. Due to
the error, panel is not generated with properties and the `rect-> min/max`
remained short enough to trigger assert

When installing from disk, include remote repositories in the list.
- Works with drag & drop from file system.
- This is the only way to "downgrade" an extensions.
Extensions in remote repositories that have no remote entries (orphans)
are now listed in the UI and the "list" sub-command.
Required for installing into remote repositories from disk (see #122302)
Details:
- Consistent ordering (local, remote) arguments.
- Use zip(..., strict=True) when sequences are expected to be aligned.
This was introduced with b7c570c8543a246054e56a793096f6744662fdb3.
For the draw tools, we no longer use the unified paint settings.
This means that we can't use the `_template_paint_radial_control` anymore.
The fix explicitly sets up the shortcut to use the `brush.size` and `brush.strength`
for the `radial_control` operator.
Dropping an extension URL for an incompatible package displayed the
"Unknown Repository" dialog.
Resolve by detecting the case of an unknown package being dropped from
a known repository. Noting the package may not be compatible.
This patch implements a new Gabor noise node based on [1] but with the
improvements from [2] and the phasor formulation from [3].
We compare with the most popular existing implementation, that of OSL,
from the user's point of view:
- This implementation produces C1 continuous noise as opposed to the
non continuous OSL implementation, so it can be used for bump
mapping and is generally smother. This is achieved by windowing the
Gabor kernel using a Hann window.
- The Bandwidth input of OSL was hard-coded to 1 and was replaced with
a frequency input, which OSL hard codes to 2, since frequency is
more natural to control. This is even more true now that that Gabor
kernel is windowed as opposed to truncated, which means increasing
the bandwidth will just turn the Gaussian component of the Gabor
into a Hann window. While decreasing the bandwidth will eliminate
the harmonic from the Gabor kernel, which is the point of Gabor
noise.
- OSL had three discrete modes of operation for orienting the kernel.
Anisotropic, Isotropic, and a hybrid mode. While this implementation
provides a continuous Anisotropy parameter which users are already
familiar with from the Glossy BSDF node.
- This implementation provides not just the Gabor noise value, but
also its phase and intensity components. The Gabor noise value is
basically sin(phase) * intensity, but the phase is arguably more
useful since it does not suffer from the low contrast issues that
Gabor suffers from. While the intensity is useful to hide the
singularities in the phase.
- This implementation converges faster that OSL's relative to the
impulse count, so we fix the impulses count to 8 for simplicitly.
- This implementation does not implement anisotropic filtering.
Future improvements to the node includes implementing surface noise and
filtering. As well as extending the spectral control of the noise,
either by providing specialized kernels as was done in #110802, or by
providing some more procedural control over the frequencies of the
Gabor.

This adds a "Legacy Behavior" option to the Limit Rotation constraint that makes
it behave how Limit Rotation constraints did prior to
ed2408400d53e943cb6c97db10f12cf6729ef089. Newly created constraints have this
option disabled, but versioning code enables the option on constraints from
older files to ensure that the behavior of e.g. existing rigs is not altered.

The new extension system introduces tags, similar to categories from
legacy add-ons, and permissions. A hardcoded list is supported for
each, available in the docs:
- https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/advanced/extensions/tags.html
- https://developer.blender.org/docs/features/extensions/schema/
This change allows extraction of these new metadata to the translation
files.
In order to disambiguate the new messages, tags use the new "Script"
translation context. Permissions are lower case, so there is a low
risk of collision, and they use the default context.
While the tags are defined per-platform, with extensions.blender.org
being the only one available currently, they are extracted as a single
list.

This was only being used for a single debugging option,
additional developer reports are now used when enabling
the extensions debugging option (under experimental).
Run each update as a separate job, previously updates for each
repository was split into a separate job however that would only
use parallel connections with multiple online repositories which
isn't used by default. Currently the connection limit is hard-coded but
will be made into a preference.
The internal API call to refresh remote data wasn't returning
the resulting data, making it inconvenient to refresh & access
remote meta-data from a single repository.
- Fix an unhandled exception listing a repository with no remote data.
- Exclude dot-files from being listed when generating a repository.
- Fix missing import (in an unlikely corner case) when accessing
tags before the repository data was initialized.
- Fix refresh refreshing the remote not updating the
internal remote meta-data.
- Suppress warnings in tests caused by default repositories
(now removed before resting).
The issue was that when applying the keyingsets
`Whole Character` and `LocRotScale & Custom Properties` the
enum property of a rigify rig was not keyed.
The reason it was not keyed was just because
it was not specified in the compatible types in the keying set.
The fix is to just add `bpy.types.EnumProperty` to the list.

* Drop the repository - let's combine tags in a single list (per type)
to avoid duplications in the future.
* Give a more sensitive name for tthe property, to avoid tags.tags.
This patch removes the Auto Render option from the compositor. This is
done for the following reason:
- The option didn't really work except in the case of transforming an
object. So it wasn't really reliable.
- It made little sense to use since the introduction of the Viewport
Compositor.
- It had a number of UX issues, including the fact that it can't be used
with animation playback, and the fact that rendering can get in the
way of the UI depending on the preferences for temporary editors.

Changes to the remote repository JSON format hadn't been properly
accounted for, a quick-fix was left in that converted the JSON
package listing into a dictionary as it was accessed (every redraw).
Update the behavior to perform the conversion when loading the data
from the JSON. This is also needed for multi platform & blender-version
support.
Prevent non-compliant data in remote repositories from causing errors
in Blender's interface.
Move from a dictionary to a named-tuple which uses normalized values.
These messages are part of enum items not directly used by their
EnumProperty, because they are returned by a function. They cannot be
accessed in RNA at all times, and need to be extracted manually.
The bl_info dictionary is deprecated for most extensions, but it is
still used for core add-ons and since Node Wrangler is now built-in,
it should be marked as official.
The reason for this change is actually that it enables translation of
the Node Wrangler UI, because add-ons below official support level
were never considered for translation.
-----
The reason only OFFICIAL add-ons are translated is that they are enabled [here](4f36fb1afe/scripts/modules/bl_i18n_utils/bl_extract_messages.py (L1052)) during message extraction.

Previously these were shown as missing add-ons, since they have been
intentionally removed, remove them as part of versioning instead
of showing them as "Missing Add-ons". This is especially important
for X3D & STL which were enabled by default which meant any user
loading 4.1 preferences would have them shown as missing add-ons.
Local repositories no longer convert manifest files into a JSON file
(that matched the format of the remote repositories JSON data).
Instead the data is loaded directly from the manifest files.
This is necessary to support read-only "System" repositories.
Use a class to generalize loading from both data sources to simplify the
implementation which was previously inlined.
This fixes an error where stale data from the manifests was
sometimes used because the generated JSON was considered up to date.
- "Show the result of running commands in the main interface...": add
punctuation.
- "Re-Installed" -> "Reinstalled" seems more common.
- "increase_" and "decrease_subdivision" in the Grease Pencil
modal...: use title case instead of snake case for label.
- "Use a automatic number..." -> "an", typo.
- "... points,{} splines": missing space.
- "End Frame is larger than Start Frame": wrong order in error message.
- "Approximate the object as sphere, which diameter is equal to
thickness the defined...": grammar.
- "Show Seconds" -> "Use Timecode": this option is not necessarily about
seconds. Suggested by Pablo Vasquez.
- Brightness and contrast node input descriptions: add missing spaces.
- "Gamma controls the relative intensity... full white.": remove

- The "location" and "warning" fields in bl_info are no longer exposed
in the interface, so there is no need to extract them any more.
- Some add-ons do not define a description (Copy Global Transform for
example), so they should be skipped.
- Some third-party legacy add-ons do not use the 'support' field, and
that can cause an error in extraction. Since this won't happen
for built-in add-ons, checking that an add-on is built-in is enough.

All add-ons were being scanned at startup, while this didn't cause
errors it was noticeable with extensions where any errors in the
manifest were being reported at startup, even when running with
factory-startup (including blender's own tests).
Address two issues:
- The logic to "reset" add-ons, so as to match the preferences when
reverting or resetting preferences always ran on startup.
This occurred because a check for Python being initialized was
incorrectly used to detect that this wasn't the first time preferences
were being loaded (regression in [0]).
- Resetting add-ons scanned all add-ons (including disabled add-ons) to
ensure their module cache is up to date. Since this the cache is
lazily initialized, it's simpler to set it as uninitialized as
resetting the add-ons doesn't require the cached meta-data.

The old add-ons UI had a "Refresh" operator that would re-scan
the file-system and show any changes.
Add an equivalent operator that works for both extensions and legacy
add-ons and add it to the extension menu.
This is useful for a few situations:
- Refresh based on changes to "System" repositories which are read-only
from Blender and intended to be manipulated outside of Blender.
- Anyone managing their own "User" repository.
- For developers to create extensions, where re-starting to see changes
to meta-data is inconvenient.
- Troubleshooting problems parsing extension meta-data as problems are
reported to the operator.
The following operations have been removed for system repositories:
- Installing from disk.
- Uninstall extensions.
- Delete files (when removing the repository).
Also change the operator to remove a repository so the option to
remove files is now a boolean instead of an enum. While a dynamic
enum can be made to work, this option is logically a boolean.
Since these actions are no longer blocking, 100 times a second could
add unnecessary overhead (although updates are only shown when changes
are detected). Nevertheless, reduce the frequency to 10 times a second.
When installing extensions, the user could exit Blender which wasn't
being handled properly - the processes would be left running and raise
a broken pipe error (on Linux).
Resolve this by canceling the processes, matching the behavior of when
escape is pressed.
This means exiting Blender while installing/updating wont leave the
repositories in an unknown state.
In Preferences / Themes you can add a new theme with a name that has
multiple words and the resulting file name will have spaces converted
to underscores. Unfortunately such multi-word themes will not pass the
poll function for saving and deletion. This PR just adds calls that
convert from the display name to file name in order for these to work.

Using unified paint settings for the draw tools as multiple issues.
As an artist, it is expected that changing a draw brush will change
its settings. Sharing the radius between draw brushes only leads
to frustration of having to change the radius back and forth.
Instead, we don't use unified paint settings for the tools in draw
mode and always use the settings on the brush.
