The functions involved in the problem were PGM_BASE::GetEditorName and
EDA_BASE_FRAME::OnSelectPreferredEditor:
1) OnSelectPreferredEditor showed a dialog to allow the user selecting the
editor, but before that called GetEditorName to get the name of the current
editor (to show as a default in the choose file dialog).
2) The problem was when there was no editor, GetEditorName showed its own
dialog.
3) So the user was seeing first the dialog from (2) and then the dialog from
(1).
4) As GetEditorName is used in many other places the solution I did was to add
to it an optional parameter that tells it what to do if no editor is set. To
avoid modifying other code that relies on the current behaviour, this parameter
has a default value that causes to show the dialog. But now when
OnSelectPreferredEditor calls it, it passes the parameter that causes it to
return an empty string if no editor was set.
5) Also, I found a second bug while doing it which allowed in the first dialog
to select an unexistent file (the dialog was missing the wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST
flag).
6) Lastly, to avoid having duplicated code (the one that showed the same dialog
and that configured the wildcard was in two methods) I created a single
function that now both functions call: PGM_BASE::AskUserForPreferredEditor.
This way we also will have consistency in the behaviour of both dialogs and
there is a single place where it needs to be modified.
I tried to merge some constants used both in legacy mode and gal mode (which were, before this patch, separate constants).
There is still a serious work to avoid different calculation code for the same text in draw and plot functions.
Work in progress to merge these calculation functions.
* Dialog copper zones: Always enable thermal shape settings, because even with no thermal, some pads can use thermal option in local pad settings.
* GAL mode: shows page limits in gray color, like in legacy mode, and according to comments in sources.
The standard library requires iterators passed to functions that modify the
container to be mutable iterators, but GCC's implementation accepts
const_iterator in some places where these are only used to mark a place,
but the actual modification happens through a different parameter.
As this breaks implementations that use the passed iterator to modify the
container (e.g. because they use a different data organization), this is
not portable; because we already have a non-const reference to the
container anyway, this is trivially fixed as well.
In the C++ standard, this function is only defined for floating point
types, and integers cannot be implicitly converted. Using explicit
conversions avoids a GCC specific extension to the standard library.
* Dick Hollenbeck also contributed commit r6440. I inadvertently forgot to set
the Bazaar author tag before I committed it. My apologies.
* Switch to static linking of libcurl and on linux and windows and also
statically link in only required portions of openssl.
* Add the required thread locks which openssl needs.
* Remove the get curl version call from BASEFRAME since it pulls in curl and
openssl into every derived wxFrame class link image.
* Remove curl function from PGM_BASE, switch to atexit() instead. Anything in
PGM_BASE made the singletops bigger.
* Tested on Linux, Windows, and OSX.
