Update after discussions on IRC:
* operating system specific path retrieval is moved back to GHOST, nothing blender specific here though
* cleaned up path functions a bit to remove #ifdefs
* removed Cocoa from blenlib again
TODO:
* Matt, Damien, please check and correct the functions for Cocoa and Carbon, could only put back existing code but needs adjustment
* finish GHOST_getBinaryDir - this should replace the BLI_where_am_i eventually as well as BLI_getInstallationPath on Windows and get_install_dir for the blenderplayer runtime
* It would probably be nice to define GHOST_getTempDir as well and move those out
* more cleanups...
NOTE:
Things are likely broken for macs
Displays a global progress indicator in the application icon reflecting the total progress of all running jobs.
Currently fully implemented on OSX (Cocoa).
On other OSes that do not allow to redraw the app icon, this can be implemented as a [x%] display in the app title, so to appear in the taskbar.
Thanks to Matt for the windowmanager wrapper.
Cocoa charactersIgnoringModifiers API still takes the Shift key into account. Fix is to use Apple new 10.5 Carbon(!) API that is 64bit compatible to take into account the international keyboard layout when retrieving the physical key pressed/released.
Needed to use an even older API for 10.4 builds.
* move own thread handling for thumbnails to WM_jobs
* cleanup of thumbnail creation code
* added function to kill the job, which actually allows thread to terminate gracefully
vc9 projectfiles:
* fixed some missing includes for release target!
10.6 new function to get modifiers flags status asynchronously returns erroneous value when application gets focus after a virtual desktop switch (Spaces).
Use legacy method to retrieve the modifiers flags status sent with the last event. Works as at least the "focus gained" event is sent before this query. Bonus: should work also on pre-10.6!
Previous code was assuming an event can only be sent from the active window.
On OSX, Right, Middle mouse buttons, mouse wheel and trackpad events are sent to inactive windows too.
For example, this allows to zoom, pan the view without changing the window order.
The '+' in the cursor during the DND operation is displayed only if drop is accepted.
(through a previous call to GHOST_setAcceptDragOperation(window, TRUE); )
With continuous grab on, in 2+ window setup, when RMB-dragging an object in a 3D view of a not active (not frontmost) window, mouse cursor was stuck, with no escape.
Cursor grab must be done by the window that is key (able to receive mouse move events).
When the user double-clicks on a document file in the Finder, OSX doesn't simply give the filename as a command-line argument when calling Blender, as it is done in other OSes.
Instead, it launches the app if needed, and then sends an "openFile" event.
The user can also open a document file by dropping its icon on the app dock icon. But as this is not real Drag'n'drop, I've renamed the Ghost event to a less confusing "GHOST_kEventOpenMainFile" name.
