Release candidate: can't use user-defined landscapes

Post by ikarus1969 »

Hi Pavel,

playing around with the release-candidate (build 206) i have tried to use some user-defined landscapes (jpg-format).

But this feature does not work properly.

That was the short-version ;)

Long explanation:
If i choose one of the pictures the program either displays my home-location with the default-landscape "Village" or displays the location i just added before (also with the default-landscape "village").

After exiting the program and restarting it, no landscape at all is displayed and the program "freezes":
No landscape after setting a user defined picture and restart the program
No landscape after setting a user defined picture and restart the program
YoWindow - 2009-12-09 - no landscape.jpg (181.25 KiB) Viewed 5850 times
By "freezing" i mean the menu-bar doesn' respond upon mouse-clicks and the keyboard as well. But: i can minimize it to the system-tray and quit the program there.
After restarting YoWindow a second time, the user-interface is responding to mouse-clicks again and so i can see that the bullet left to the "Default (Village)" menu-item is not there (what's ok because i selected one of my own pictures in the previous run of the program).
But there's no bullet beside one of my own pictures as well; it doesn't help to select one of my own pictures - it is not used as a background-landscape.

Only selecting the default-picture ("Village") is possible.

Thanks much!
This is the kind of error I was afraid of.
That is why I have introduced release-candidate.
I will try to fix it now.

Great! It works!

Until now i was not aware that it's a location-specific feature for the currently displayed location. I always though "one picture for all locations" but as it is it's much more flexible! :)

Of course!
When you select Paris you expect to see the Eifel tower, and when you select Egypt you want to see the Pyramids :)
