Implement shader caching * Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond. * Improved game, editor and project manager startup time. * Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders. * Game uses user://shader_cache * Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache * Options to tweak shader caching in project settings. * Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled). * Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated). * Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v

This editor-only singleton returns OS-specific paths to various data folders and files. It can be used in editor plugins to ensure files are saved in the correct location on each operating system.
[b]Note:[/b] This singleton is not accessible in exported projects. Attempting to access it in an exported project will result in a script error as the singleton won't be declared. To prevent script errors in exported projects, use [method Engine.has_singleton] to check whether the singleton is available before using it.

[b]Note:[/b] On the Linux/BSD platform, Godot complies with the [url=https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html]XDG Base Directory Specification[/url]. You can override environment variables following the specification to change the editor and project data paths.

Returns [code]true[/code] if the editor is marked as self-contained, [code]false[/code] otherwise. When self-contained mode is enabled, user configuration, data and cache files are saved in an [code]editor_data/[/code] folder next to the editor binary. This makes portable usage easier and ensures the Godot editor minimizes file writes outside its own folder. Self-contained mode is not available for exported projects.
[macOS] Re-add support for the _sc_ inside app bundle. Update docs.
2023-02-16 12:43:32 +01:00
Self-contained mode can be enabled by creating a file named [code]._sc_[/code] or [code]_sc_[/code] in the same folder as the editor binary or macOS .app bundle while the editor is not running. See also [method get_self_contained_file].
[b]Note:[/b] On macOS, quarantine flag should be manually removed before using self-contained mode, see [url=https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/export/running_on_macos.html]Running on macOS[/url].
[b]Note:[/b] On macOS, placing [code]_sc_[/code] or any other file inside .app bundle will break digital signature and make it non-portable, consider placing it in the same folder as the .app bundle instead.

[b]Note:[/b] The Steam release of Godot uses self-contained mode by default.
