After the tinyformat switch sprintf() family functions support passing
actual std::string objects.
Remove unnecessary c_str calls (236 of them) in logging and formatting.
- rebuilt some ui file layout to remove unreal values from the files
- remove an unneeded attribute from an ui file
- add / remove some spaces in files
From a cursory glance, it looks like block 279,000 meets the criteria for
a checkpoint block, and it's also what the bootstrap.dat torrent is at. This closes#3530.
- 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
Currently it is only possible to use `walletpassphrase` to unlock the
wallet when bitcoin is started in server mode.
Almost everything that manipulates the wallet in the RPC console
needs the wallet to be unlocked and is thus unusable without -server.
This is pretty unintuitive to me, and I'm sure it's even more confusing
to users.
Solve this with a very minimal change: by making the GUI start a
dummy RPC thread just to handle timeouts.
- as a proxy set via GUI can be overridden via -proxy, directly query the
core to get active proxy
- give a warning, if active proxy is not SOCKS5 (needs to be SOCKS5 for
the Qt networking code to work)
- also remove an obsolete connect() call from optionsdialog.cpp and a
reference to Bitcoin-Qt (now just GUI)
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.
Fix regression introduced in ec41342.
Also use a less ugly solution, by defining the value of
`MOC_DEFS` in the configure script instead of `Makefile.include`.
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.
Move AppInit2 and Shutdown to a thread.
This allows a more responsive splash screen, prevents 'process does not respond'
messages from the window system and will allow for showing a user friendly
window while shutting down.
Since we're now properly linking against static plugins for qt binaries,
we need to ensure that they're Imported properly.
Without these Imports, the linker drops some of the unused linked libs, causing
undefined symbols in QtCore.
