Change Details

This patch would localize external files when appending assets. Localizing external files would make a local copy of a Image, Sound, or other external stored file. Only files that are not packed would be localized and are relative. This patch contains only supports Single image files, but contains the machinery to be easily extended. # Implementation overview Before localizing an asset `BKE_external_files_create` is invoked. This function creates a struct containing the original paths to the external files that needs to be localized. It uses the newly added `IDTypeInfo.foreach_external_file` callback. This callback goes over each external file for a given ID. This patch only implements this for single file image sources (Files + Movies) After localizing the asset `BKE_external_files_localize` is invoked. This function reuses the `BKE_packedfiles` logic to copy the files over to the current file. # TODO ## To be solved before committing. * [ ] Move specific code from external_files to packedfile. ## To be solved when global implementation is agreed upon. * [ ] Add support for Image Sequences. * [ ] Add support for Tiled images.
