[109] Shell4: media gallery interface for media objects

GN4-3490

New script functions available to set media element attributes:
* SetAttribute(attrName, attrValue) set a new value, for the specified attribute, of the selected item. Requires gallery checked-out. Returns "true" for success.
* GetAttribute(attrName) returns string of specified attribute value. "Nothing" if not found.
* SetAttributeItem(mediaItem, attrName, attrValue) works like SetAttribute but on a specified item object, without changing grid selection.
* GetAttributeItem(mediaItem, attrName) works like GetAttribute but on a specified item object, without changing grid selection.
Examples:
<source lang="vb">Dim current_summary = GetAttribute((".summary"))
SetAttribute(".summary", "Checked OK: " + current_summary)
 
For Each item As GridDataItem In Designer.MediaDataGrid.Items
SetAttributeItem(item, ".title", "Empty Title!")
Next

[167] Fred4: GetFormat function requires id to be initialized

GN4-3448

Breaking Change:
GetFormat doesn't work as it should: the method return an empty object (that can be filled setting the id) and this can cause exceptions and crashes.
To solve this problem the method is changed in '''GetFormat(int formatId)''' that select and initialize the format object.
A sample to get the current format:
<source lang="vb.net">if (Fred.GetActiveTxt isnot Nothing) then
dim oformat=fred.getformat(Fred.GetActiveTxt.FormatId)
end if
 
replaced the old code in all standard scripts.
there is also another utility method to get only the format name from id: '''GetFormatNameFromId(formatId),''' replaced in other script to avoid redundant code.

[185] Shell4: way to "mark" mediagallery elements

GN4-3418

A new item property "custom_BGColor" is available in scritping to mark a media row with a specific color. Example:
<source lang="vb">
For Each item As GridDataItem In Designer.MediaDataGrid.Items

If v.Count = 0 Then
item.custom_BGColor = Media.Brushes.Yellow
End If
Next
Designer.MediaDataGrid.Items.Refresh() ' Update the view
 
Mark "yellow" any item with no variants defined. Use "Media.Brushes.White" to reset to default color.
