Better to make internal code naming match official/UI naming to some
extent, this will reduce confusion in the future.
This is 'breaking' scripts and files that would use that feature, but
since it is not yet officially supported nor exposed in 2.80, as far
as that release is concerned, it is effectively
a 'no functional changes' commit.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
That feature will not be ready (or at least, not tested enough) to be
officially part of 2.80 beta. So we disable it by default, hidding it
behind a startup option (`--enable-static-override`), and a python
app var (`bpy.app.use_static_override`).
That way, people who really want to play with it can do it easily, while
not exposing/enabling non-production-ready feature by default.
Note that underlying override code remains active, i.e. files we do have
overridden data-blocks will be loaded correctly according to static override.
Access to main database is actually rarely needed, but some custom
'apply' functions do need it (like Collections' overriding of objects or
children collections).
I.E. only enable auto-override for 'active' selected object when making
an override of a linked group. This will ease on auto-override creation,
and you typically do not want to auto-override most objects in the group
anyway (in proxy system, you could only proxyfy one object of the group
anyaway!).
This simplifies remapping task, since you don't have to ensure your
overrides are created in the correct dependency order.
Uses famous LIB_TAG_DOIT to mark IDs to be overridden.
See https://developer.blender.org/D2417 for details.
Note that since static overrides rely heavily on RNA, this commit is
essentially invisible from user PoV, more in next commits.
