Not everything, and especially not several hundred megabytes of
animation track data. This also prepares it for recording names of
custom animation track targets that were added in the previous commits.
The `Type` was suggesting it'd be some C++ type, definitely not values
like Scaling3D or Translation2D, resulting in a significant "brain
autocompletion error" every time I was using that type.
Unfortunately on AnimationData the trackTargetType() couldn't similarly
get renamed to trackTarget() as there's already trackTarget() that
contains the node ID the target points to, so it's trackTargetName()
instead. Renaming trackTarget() to trackTargetId() wasn't an option as
that would be inconsistent with everything else (TextureTools::image(),
MaterialAttribute::BaseColorTexture, SceneField::Mesh are all IDs but
they don't have an `Id` suffix); renaming to AnimationTrackTargetName
would keep it insanely long and wouldn't make it consistent either
(MeshAttribute, SceneFIeld, MaterialAttribute are all referred to as
"names" yet they don't have a `Name` suffix).
Sometimes it's a vital piece of information, e.g. the file having no
default might lead to it being not displayed correctly as some end-user
application might think it has no scene.
Otherwise it's really, REALLY hard to discover which data are missing in
the output. Especially for files with 1700 meshes, 800 materials, 3600
textures and such.
Lists features, aliases as well as documented contents of the whole
configuration file. Useful to not need to look up online docs when
working on the command line.
Because storing arbitrary data as a string was not good:
- It *never* followed alignment requirements due to the last byte being
used for size. Instead the size is now stored before the data, and
thus the data is always on the 64 byte boundary.
- As it could contain arbitrary binary data, it could cause
magnum-sceneconverter --material-info to print garbage, corrupt the
terminal or, worst case, crash. Not good.
- It stored an implicit \0, which was unnecessary.
It was quite a pile, and all of it was written just once, relying only
on hopefully-available model files that would hopefully touch most code
paths. Which means, extremely annoying to make changes in.
I extracted the code to a header that can be tested with a mocked-up
importer and without having to execute the utility itself, deduplicated
the image info printing code, fixed various inconsistencies (such as
data/field flags sometimes denoted with superfluous "flags:" and
sometimes not) and TODOs (such as 2D/3D skins, where there was no format
whatsoever that would have 2D skin support, so the code couldn't get
written).
Now it's finally possible to easily add the remaining missing features,
such as printing camera info.
No functional change, just splitting them to two separate headers and
two separate tests. These will eventually become public SceneTools
APIs... once I figure out better naming.
