Enable Oolite development (2)

[Cholmondely]

So v0.1.15-xenoc.16 should behave better now.

And, for the AppleMac, maybe to replace the wording "This directory contains an Oolite installation" (for selecting an "Oolite.app") with one of "This is the wrapper for an Oolite game/This is an Oolite installation/This is an Oolite game/This is an Oolite application which on the AppleMac is really a folder masquerading as an application" (take your pick!)

So v0.1.15-xenoc.16 should behave better now.

It does. Your renamed wrappers now come up with the icon (eg: Oolite 1.77.app). But the encompassing Oolite folder on my desktop does not.

Oh that is great. Then I will merge to master now.
For the encompassing folder: It is either-or. What would a user think if too many folders actually have that icon?

And I wonder if it might make sense to add an "open" button beside the "select" button on the window for searching for the Oolite version's "Home Directory", etc.

The button you are asking for appears when you click 'Add', then in the first line use the 'Browse' button.
Or do I understand you would like to have 'Browse' functionality even when not adding/editing a version?

I recorded using the Starter as the first half of my regularly scheduled Oolite video, and I have those always scheduled to come out on Saturdays. I could have recorded it as a separate video and released it immediately, but I didn't really have time to do both the Starter and the regular video separately.

I'll link to the video when it comes out.

Have you linked the video already? Where can i see it?

Ah, sorry, weekend got away from me!

Here it is:

That's a nice one. I will take this as feedback. Where you were struggling it seems the UI can be improved.
Do you have an idea what might make it easier to use?

Not sure, I need to play around with it more. I'm going to use it again to load all the HUD OXPs for my HUD showcase, I may have some ideas then.

yard.9 pops up a notification that yard.11 has been released, but the link doesn't go to yard.11, the highest version on the page is yard.9

The link goes to the releases page in general, not to a specific release. And GitHub seems to sort alphanumerically, so .yard.11 is not on top...
Maybe the link should go to the release instead. I will check...

Starting with -yard.12 MrGimlet should guide you to future releases directly.

Bit of an upgrade issue to report on Win10.

Installed yard9 had a bit of play with it, but when I tried to upgrade to yard12, the installer would flash up an outline of dialog box before quitting immediately. You can see the installer running in task manager, but nothing much is happening and you have to kill it in task manager.

Managed to install it by uninstalling yard9 first then doing an install of yard12. Managed to pick up all of the yard9 settings without issue, so that's a big plus!

Thank you for that feedback.
I am not sure how to deal with it yet. After all both installer and uninstaller get generated by the java packager, which AFAIK runs the wix toolset. Ah, I think there is an issue with the version number:
Wix wants an assembly number which is just numerical. Yet the semantical versioning I use on OoliteStarter means that your upgrade from
0.1.16 (-yard.9) to 0.1.16 (-yard.12) was not recognized.

Could you try to run such an upgrade between releases instead, such as from 0.1.14 to 0.1.15? Hmmm, it may be that at this time I did not have good version numbers for the Windows installer, so write down what Windows displays parallel to what the download file states it is.

I tried to resume a saved game from inside Oolite Starter and the following message came up:

Launched process 65323 with command line
[...Desktop/Hiran/oolite-1.90-Mac-TestRelease/Oolite.app/Contents/MacOS/Oolite, -load, .../Documents/Nikolaus I (Blackjack's Bullion).oolite-save]
in directory
.../Desktop/Hiran/oolite-1.90-Mac-TestRelease/Oolite.app/Contents/MacOS
Currently we are waiting for this process to finish.
If you do not see Oolite showing up, consider taking a look at the logfiles. More help may be available at the forum.

Oolite started up, but did not load the saved game
