The old Mac launcher doesn’t work on Yosemite, add a tiny
Qt-based launcher inside the main process (no need to fork /
exec) which runs before the OSG window is created.
Will be merged for 3.4, hopefully with no impact on other
platforms.
Calls to updateValues can cause nested calls invalidating
the char* passed as argument, if retrieved from a
SGPropertyNode.
Probably SGPropertyNode should also be modified to return
a std::string instead of a pointer to an internal buffer.
- no dependency on libJpeg or Simgear
- no duplicate rendering of the scene (uses a draw callback)
- supports other image types, eg PNG
- threaded so doesn't block the main loop ever
By Gijs with additions by James. Menubar is disabled at present
since it's not usable and potentially inferior to other solutions,
but committing the code so it doesn't rot.
Restarting the GUI could cause Cocoa menus to misbehave, due to
destruction behaviour of SGBinding. Use new clear() helper in the
short term to work around this.
In threaded OSG drawing, MapWidget::draw runs in the render
thread context, but touches lots of main thread state. Move most of the
work to an update() helper run on the main thread instead, so draw()
mostly makes pure GL calls.
(This is a fix for 3.0, the real solution is to migrate to a
Canvas-based map and GUI)
Write PID file to FG_HOME, use this to detect multiple launches.
When this situation is detected, set a marker property and place various
objects into read-only mode, such as the NavCache and TerraSync.
PID file is created using open+unlink semantics on POSIX, and
DELETE_ON_CLOSE on Windows, so it will be removed when fgfs exits,
even if killed or crashes.
This allows us to display a platform-native dialog for problems
which occur early in startup (before we can show a PUI/Canvas dialog).
In particular this improves feedback where FG_HOME, FG_DATA or
aircraft selection is wrong, all of which happen very early in startup.
Adding a spherical projection mode which will work at the poles and
+180/-180 line correctly. Not yet enabled since it has other issues to
be addressed.
