Quoting Chris Shoemaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I see no instance of "gnc_show_splash_screen" in gnucash-bin.c in any
form.. So when you moved stuff around you removed my comment completely.
It's the first thing that happens inside gnc_main_gui_init(). When
that was called before loading modules, the module loading messages
showed on the splash. But, the report menu was never populated.
Well perhaps gnc_main_gui_init() needs to get split up.. Perhaps
we have a gnc_main_gui_preinit() that could just do the gnome initialization
and show the splash screen.. Then we load the modules.. And then
we call gnc_main_gui_init() which does the rest of the initialization
of the main window?
The problem I'm running into isn't so much with the register as with
the report-system. Application startup and tear-down touches
everything - including the report-system. I moved half of it from
gnome into gnome-utils, but I think that was a mistake. It should
stay in gnome. But, that pulls the thread... what about the stuff in
gnome-utils that tried to manage lifecycle - specifically, gnc-file
and gnc-main-window?
See, this is where I think that the gnome-report module initialization
(which should happen AFTER the application initializes but before the
main-window initalizes) should do the menu insertions.
You need to split that.
gnc-file belongs in gnome-utils (or maybe even app-file)..
I'm not sure where gnc-main-window belongs.
The plugins, pluginpages and pluginmanager all end up depending on
these. Although, at the moment I can't remember the exact dependency
chain, so I'm going to start-over and try to take better notes.
I'd like to see the dependency tree here..
The plugin page code most certainly belongs in gnome-utils, not gnome.
top-level depends on the plugin-page... not the other way around.
Well then, maybe gnc-plugin-page-account-tree, gpp-budget,
gp-basic-commands, gp-account-tree, and gp-budget belong in
gnome-utils.
I'm not sure.. gnc-plugin-page-account-tree calls into the register,
so it can't live in gnome-utils. I'm not sure about the others.
In the short term, I'm really not bent on re-organizing the libraries.
I just want the lifecycle functions in one place, and, after moving
them to gnome-utils, I'm convinced they need to go back into gnome.
Let me take another look at what they minimum dependencies are.
Well, perhaps the lifecycle functions need to be split up and NOT all be
in one place?
