Change Fake User

About

Operator changes the use of Fake User in data blocks. Makes it easier to change the Fake User parameter on a large number of data blocks. Can be used for animations (for example, which are created after importing skls animations, which can be more than a thousand) or for a large number of materials (for example, which are created after importing locations). It is possible to modify such data blocks: objects, meshes, materials, textures, images, armatures, animations. Using Fake User allows you to save a data block even if it does not have a real user (which is often the case with action data blocks). If you enable Fake User on data blocks, then after reloading the blend file, these blocks will not be deleted
