Generally useless information. Only updates on connect time, not after
that. Peers can easily lie and the median filter is not effective in
preventing that.
In the past it was used for progress display in the GUI but
`CheckPoints::guessVerificationProgress` provides a better way that is now used.
It was too easy to mislead it. Peers do lie about it in practice, see issue #4065.
From the RPC, `getpeerinfo` gives the peer raw values, which are more
useful.
After the Qt5 switch, status icons were being cut off by 1-2px.
Also fixes some other cases where the UI is slightly off mentioned in #3800.
Fixes#3800.
contrib/devtools/fix-copyright-headers.py script to be able to perform this maintenance task with ease during the rest of the year, every year. Modifications to contrib/devtools/README.md to document what fix-copyright-headers.py does.
- adds a nice and well formated dialog, which displays our -? help message
(all options/paramaters)
- moves aboutdialog.cpp/h to the new utilitydialog
- move GUI shutdown window to utilitydialog
Use a series of .png frames for the spinner instead of a .mng.
`mng` is an obscure image format and is not built by default into Qt5.
This appears to improve the crispness of the spinner as well.
Does not noticably increase the size (still ~27k) and the code
is not more complicated either.
There is not much in the GUI to be done without wallet,
though it's possible to change options, watch the sync process,
and use the debug console.
So embed the debug console in the main window.
Stop the shutdown timer from exiting the main loop
when shutdown is already in progress.
Fixes seeming hanging window after typing 'stop' in debug console.
Also hide the debug console during shutdown as it is useless without
a core to connect to.
Remove the need for global references `guiref` and
`splashref` by making the BitcoinGUI and SplashScreen
classes register for the UI interface signals themselves.
4a61c39 qt: status WalletModel::Aborted is no longer used (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
ca2c83d Remove unused ThreadSafeAskFee from ui_interface (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
37e67d3 Remove unused ThreadSafeHandleURI from ui_interface (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
When a InitError or InitWarning happens, the
GUI pops up but is unusable (until Init finishes).
This is caused by showNormalIfMinimized. Add a message
flag to skip this call for Init errors or warnings.
ThreadSafeAskFee is effectively unused. It is only called
when the fAskFee parameter on SendMoney or SendMoneyToDestination
is true, which never happens. Remove it.
Only messages for now, executable names and other file names
can be changed later if necessary and safe.
Do not do an all-sweeping change. Some occurences of Bitcoin-Qt need to
be kept:
- Applicationname: this is used to determine the registry entry names,
we don't want to lose settings over a silly name change.
- Where it refers to the executable name instead of the product name.
- cleanup Info.plist.in and specify high DPI mode enable command as per
http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/04/25/retina-display-support-for-mac-os-ios-and-x11/
- move setting of QApplication::setAttribute() to bitcoin.cpp and add
attribute for enabling use of high DPI pixmaps for Qt >= 5.1
- add missing setWindowTitle() on Mac
- cleanup Mac / non-Mac setup in bitcoingui.cpp
- remove default value for parent variable in dialogs, which should appear
centered over main GUI and pass appropriate value
- add some addition NULL pointer checks
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
