Reset current scene now prefers using Tank Apps for saving.

[tonybarbieri]

Reset current scene will try to use Tank Apps before resorting to the built in platform method.

Introduces the scene_modified scene operation hook.
The reset scene operation hook will now force a reset. The check for modification has been moved up the chain to the caller.

Requires pull request: shotgunsoftware/tk-multi-snapshot#5 which adds a return value from the snapshot dialog command. This is necessary to check for user cancelled.

Hi Tony,

We're not too sure about this one :P

It feels like some of this is a workflow that is quite specific for you guys - particularly the snapshot instead of just performing a save. I can see it using Shotgun Save-As as being sensible but this could possibly be done in the hook instead? This is also something we can consider when looking at Context 2.0...

Could you explain a bit more about the reasoning behind it and the problem it's aiming to solve - we can have a quick chat if that would be more useful?

Thanks
Alan

Well the way I see it is, these tools have been developed to save your
workfiles. Why then would the applications save dialog be used when a user
is prompted to save when changing context, starting a new scene, etc. and
not use the Tank save tools? The application save tools are always
available so a user could simply cancel and save using those if necessary.
I would think we'd want the pipeline save tools (Save As, Snapshot) to be
used as much as possible.
