PR is on hold for now. The build process is very project specific. Adding this complicates the situation with the extension projects. 0.8.0 already improved the template situation a lot. Improving the situation further in regard to the build process should be delayed to keep things simple.

notes from matrix:
i wanted to create a two step process, the PR is step one:

  1. Allow to embed UI resources via "GirCoreEmbedTemplateFiles" see Embed template files #1481
  2. Allow to compile blueprint files to UI files via "GirCoreCompileBlueprintFiles"

For step two I considered placing the generated UI files next to the blueprint ones. Requiring users of that functionality to add ui files to gitignore if they should not be under version control.

I thought this would be nice because it should be relatively straight forward to understand what happens.

I wanted to compile a file like "selection.blp" to "selection.blp.ui" in this way it would be possile to only add generated files to gitignore. And to reference the name in code it would be "selection.blp.ui", too.
