Viewer2 Build 1688
- New multi-line filmstrip view. Use the FilmStripRows registry entry to set the number of rows shown. Move mouse up and down to move faster.
This is mainly a release to get Vista people happy, so there are some things I would have liked to fix before releasing (won’t tell what!).
This falls in the obvious category but I’m posting this just that someone will see this even by accident: always use -mthreads when using threads under MinGW. I repeat (so that I remember this in future): always use -mthreads when using threads under MinGW. I just spent hours using gdb instead of -mthreads.
I.e.:
g++ -mthreads -o game.exe game.c
The mentioned option makes MinGW use thread-safe stuff internally. It is not enough a library claims to be thread-safe (well, actually it probably claims to be thread-safe as long as the runtime providing malloc et al is safe, which indeed is not the case when not using -mthreads).
At least Viewer2 is fast now.
