Description

« Hide

I've converted the "Advanced" debug menu to XUI. Some of the major benefits of this are:

1. Ability to change keyboard shortcuts for items in those menus without recompiling the viewer, and/or on a per-language basis.
2. Ability to rerrange items in those menus, and/or move them to other menus.

(In other words, all the stuff you can already do with all the other menus!)

I've split this task up into sub-tasks, to make the patches more manageable.

Sub-tasks 1 and 2 (VWR-2947 and VWR-2948) are complete with patches attached.

The patch from VWR-2947 should be applied before or at the same time as the patch from VWR-2948.

Nice !

If i'm getting it correctly, this would also solve VWR-2085 , as Linux users would be able to change the GUI-hiding shortcut from CTRL-ALT-F1 to something else.

Does this fix the issue of the "Toggle UI" making Linux systems flip out to a different desktop with no way to get back?

So it seems that this project came to fruition at roughly the same time as the menus in question were being renamed and somewhat redesigned. Are you planning on porting this to the new menu structure?

@Which: Yes, I plan to update this when I get some time (at the earliest, next week).

I know that the menus were renamed to "Advanced" and "Admin", but I'm not sure what else changed. Is there a summary of the changes handy, or a revision number in the public repository so I can do some diffs?

Jacek, looks like this is the diff containing the renaming: http://svn.secondlife.com/trac/linden/changeset?new=release%2Findra%2Fnewview%2Fllviewermenu.cpp%40258&old=release%2Findra%2Fnewview%2Fllviewermenu.cpp%40249

Look pretty minor, actually.

There have been other changes since then (which I'm not sure have affected those menus, but might be relevant), so you can check the revlog out here: http://svn.secondlife.com/trac/linden/log/release/indra/newview/llviewermenu.cpp

I've updated the patches for both VWR-2947 and VWR-2948. The patches apply to 1.20 RC12, and have all the latest menu items and changes. :-)
