1- This adds a new Material icon to identify the material entities that are linked to a parent.
Since those material entities become invisible, this help to figure their presence.
2- The Create App - Preference: "Show Zones in Create Mode"
has been removed, since it was doing nothing for a couple of years now.
the method behind is still in the API, but do nothing.
(abandoned since it was only drawing a box that wasn't useful to figure the shape of the zone)
There was no real value to bring this back in a different way.
3- The Create App - Preference: "Show Lights and Particle Systems in Create Mode"
has been renamed for "Show Icons in Create Mode"
since this setting was also managing all the icons (including Zones and now the Parented Materials)
The objective of the setting is mainly to simplify the display at the edit when a scene is very dense.
(In the future, we might want to make this "à la carte". For now, I think we can try as is. )
Add a new entity in-world edition icon for Material (when not parented)
and new version for the 4 existing icons: Now they are all dark gray (same tone)
with a white border for a better visibility under different lighting.
Previously it was 490px wide (in Desktop)
Now it will be 750 px wide (in Desktop)
The properties tab is now with an acceptable size by default. (which is closer to the landscape display we have in HMD.)
No change in HMD or in-Tablet display.
1- Replace Overlays by Local Entities
2- Add the missing header with copyright and license
(I have assumed that the author was the same person that make the grid parameter that is referenced there and only used in create App.)
3- Minor requested code change (0.0 instead of 0 in condition using real numbers)
Excluding EntityShapeVisualizer from Children list
Now a name is given to the EntityShape of the EntityShapeVisualizer (used to display the zone)
so we can now exclude them from the children list when it's time to figure if there are children for an entity.
(This is a better approach than excluding al the local entities)
The name has been used because it gives better results than trying to use the id map that arrive always too late.
The name is unique for a session, it includes a UUID.

This excludes the local and avatar entities from what is returns by Entities.getChildrenIDs
to avoid the selection tools of the Zone entities to be considered as Children of it.
This was necessary for the display of the hierarchy status, but also for the "Add Children to Selection".

The Create App. Menu Items under the “Edit” menu have been cleaned up.
All the actions being transferred has been removed. (some was not even decently usable from there)
A new sub-menu “Create Application – Preferences” has been implemented to regroup the remaining menu items that are all User Preferences.
Eventually in the future, these might be moved to the Create App. UI. For now, it will be OK, it's already cleaner.
Add a new User Preference for the Default value of the Entity List Radius. This is available in the Edit menu. If changed, this value will be used as default Radius for the next time the script will be loaded.

Bug fix: EntityList, CTRL-Click was adding the last selected entity as the first selection the selection stack. The first selected item was systematically the last item of the selection. This was causing unpredictable results with "Parent Entities To The Last Selected". (This bug becomes evident by highlighting the "Last Selected" in the entity list.
This returns "Teleport To Selected Entities" back to the "Selection..." menu.
After having tried a certain time what was suggested (having it under "Actions..." menu)
This is clearly easy to confuse it with "Move Selected Entities to Avatar"
"Teleport To Selected Entities" is about position your-self to see what you have "Selected" (which make this a Selection Tools or an assistant to it)
while "Move Selected Entities to Avatar" is clearly an action. as it moves the entities to a new position.
The last selected entity is now displayed in darker blue in the list (if present per radius search)
This makes clear which entity could become the parent.
(This enlights some weird behavior with the Selection, making this hazardous to figure which one was the true last selected entity. To be addressed later, it's already better now.)
Add in-world selection color for entities that are Parent & Child at the same time.
When 1 entity is selected (in-world):
if the entity is a Top Parent, the selection color of the bounding box is Orange.
if the entity is Parent and Child, the selection color of the bounding box is Majenta.
if the entity is only a Child, then the selection color of the bounding box is Cyan.
If not involved in any parent line, or if the selection is multiple, then the selection color of the bounding box is Light Grey.
Remove uppercase from Create App List header
The columns headers were forced to be displayed in uppercase
This was causing the wrong icon to be displayed for some columns like "script".
Uppercase wasn't necessary, the header was looking overloaded when many columns are displayed.
Set the shortkeys for Select All and Inverse Selection to respond to CTRL-A and CTRL-I only.
(Previously it was also responding to Ctrl-Shift-A, Ctrl-Alt-A, Ctrl-Shift-Alt-A and Ctrl-Shift-I, Ctrl-Alt-I, Ctrl-Shift-Alt-I)
Increase the precison of Angular Velocity
to make more comfortable the Issue #798 Angular Velocity can't go below 0.4 something (round to 0.5)
But this won't solve the trouble.
For this it would require a fixed for issue #76 Rotations that are transmitted over server lose precision
Fix for Issue:
#711 Add error dialogue if an unsupported filetype is added as a model URL in the create app.
As agreed, the label "Model URL" will indicate now: "Model URL (.fbx, .fst, .glb, .gltf, .obj, .gz)"
The list of file type has been set in Italic.
And the label for Material dialog has been adjust to have the same standard "(Optional)" is also in italic.
