"Well sf seems to be in read only mode.
This patch makes the progress bar in the room list dialog pulse slower.
Previously it pulsed every time a new room was received, and had a pulse
step of 10 until 100 rooms were downloaded, and then switched to a pulse
step of 100.
Now it pulses every time a room is received but no more than once every
100ms. And the pulse step stays constant at 10. This should fix the "my
connection is so far the progress bar is sucking up all my cpu" problem
some lucky individuals have had. Since my connection isn't that fast,
I'm not completely sure how well it works, but it seems good to me.
Simguy tells me it's better.
If you want to test you'll need to download the list on undernet on irc,
or something like that. Other protocols tend to download it too fast to
really see the progress bar.

Notes on keeping GAIM OS independant ------------------------------------ General ------- - Use G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S and G_DIR_SEPARATOR for paths - Use g_getenv, g_snprintf, g_vsnprintf - Use gaim_home_dir instead of g_get_home_dir or g_getenv("HOME") - Make sure when including win32dep.h that it is the last header to be included. - Open binary files when reading or writing with 'b' mode. e.g: fopen("somefile", "wb"); Not doing so will open files in windows using defaut translation mode. i.e. newline -> <CR><LF> Paths ----- - DATADIR, LOCALEDIR & LIBDIR are defined in wingaim as functions. Doing the following will therefore break the windows build: printf("File in DATADIR is: %s\n", DATADIR G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S "pic.png"); it should be: printf("File in DATADIR is: %s%s%s\n", DATADIR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S, "pic.png"); - When writing out paths to .gaimrc, use wgaim_escape_dirsep. This is necessary because the Windows dir separator '\' is being used to escape characters, when paths are read in from the .gaimrc file. PLUGINS & PROTOS ---------------- - G_MODULE_EXPORT all functions which are to be accessed from outside the scope of its "dll" or "so". (E.G. gaim_plugin_init) - G_MODULE_IMPORT all global variables which are located outside your dynamic library. (E.G. connections) (Not doing this will cause "Memory Access Violations" in Win32)
