The call to MIDIGetNumberOfDestinations() starts the MIDI server which takes
3-4l seconds even on the modern hardware. We are querying this in the GUI Options
which then lags on the first launch.
Thus, we are creating a separate thread and make this call at the start of
ScummVM, so by the time the user gets to the GUI, the server is already launched
and there is no lag.
Of course, that would mean that we will launch MIDI even for the games which are
not using it, so this is a tradeoff for the better UX.
In particular it has been reported that setHelpMenu was introduced in
MacOS X 10.6. So hopefully this change will fix running ScummVM on
MacOS X 10.5 or older.
This might fix bug #11260: MAC OS X: App incomplete when launched on
OS X 10.5.8.
Now in addition to rtf extension and no extension, it also looks
for the html and md extensions. Also unless the extension is RTF or
HTML, which are widely recognized, it explicitely indicate that the
file should be open with TextEdit.
This fixes bug #10938, with opening the README and NEWS file from
the Help menu failing when the bundle was compiled without using
pandoc and thus the only files available are the markdown ones.
Support for the html extension is to prepare for a future change
to have a nicer README than the plain text one.
The local documents are not currently internationalised simply
because the internationalised resources are not put into the right
places (NSBundle will handle this automatically when they are);
Trac#10464 is a tracking bug for this outstanding issue.
Fixes Trac#10437.
This mixer type was added in
943b4c2036 because "anything which
produces sampled data with high latency (like the MT-32 emulator)
will sound terribly", but as far as I can see (or reproduce), this
mixer doesn't do anything that would solve that problem, except
that it effectively doubles the size of the audio buffer so there's
less chance of an underflow due to slower-than-realtime synthesis
by the softsynth. But you don't need the overhead of a separate
thread to do that, you just need to increase the buffer size.
When -Wundeclared-selector is enabled (recommended by Apple), the
calls to the setBadgeLabel selector in MacOSXTaskbarManager are
warned on because NSDockTile declarations are not included because
they do not exist in macOS 10.4 and earlier. While I don't know
that we are even supporting such old macOS versions these days, it
is simple enough to fix this problem when compiling to modern
macOS versions by conditionally including the necessary header.
