Add simple Create Project Structure launcher action

BigRoy commented 1 week ago

Changelog Description

Add simple Create Project Structure launcher action.

Which creates the folder structure as defined in project settings: ayon+settings://core/project_folder_structure

Additional info

It currently only shows when you're in a project in the launcher but have NO folder or task selected to avoid clutter in launcher.

The label unfortunately is a bit too long to be nicely displayed by default, see screenshot. Any ideas for better icon and shorter label that doesn't get cut off?

This feature request came up a few times:

Ynput Community Forum: How set up custom folder creation when using the launcher
Ynput Community Forum: Default Project Hierarchy mentions the setting but seemed to describe a different feature.
Discord

Testing notes:

Update core addon
Run the launcher action when you enter a project.
Folders should now be generated as per settings.

Your icon choice is already very good.

Shorter labels : The "disk" concept is important, to avoid confusion with the project's folder structure in database. Ideas :

Add disk proj struct
Add proj struct on disk
Create Project Structure (the current label, but with a different icon : mdi.harddisk-plus or mdi.harddisk )

I can think of these names:

Create Dir Create PRJ Project Dir

I think maybe it's also worth discussing whether it might be nice to shrink the font sizes just a tad there to ensure there's less cut off. I often see it on other applications as well - which may fix the chosen names here as well?

@iLLiCiTiT what do you think?

@BigRoy btw what happens if user trigger Create Project... if those already existing?? I hope it will just skip the creation :) ?

Not sure - since I didn't implement that code myself. But I suspect it would just generate the folders on disk that currently do not exist yet - so if you've adjusted your studio settings to have new folders in the template - then those get added.

Are you afraid to click the button? If so, what is making you scared and what could we do to make it feel less scary? A tooltip? A pop-up before the creation? (Like a confirmation? Which might make it feel more scary even?)
