Hello Mirek,

Thanks for preparing new stable version!

However, I have a concerns about the version naming convention. What about using semantic version convention? In this case we will have 2024.1.1 (major, minor, patch) instead of 2024.1a. a in version number might be consider as alpha, which I believe we would like to avoid. Also, consider changing stable branch name from stable to stable/2024.1. Thanks to that when we will avoid problems in the future when another stable branch might be needed.

No problem. Will rename.

Can somebody test? This really is targeted fix, so should not affect much else, but I would like to be minimally sure before removing (rc) moniker.

It looks like there are problems with icons on Mac.
I checked this on MacOS 15.1 am64.
index.php?t=getfile&id=7019&private=0

Another problem is an application icon in a switch-application dialog (cmd-tab). I couldn't take a screenshot, but it is a 16x16 icon. It looks ugly.
I tried to set application icons for my own application by following TheIDE as an example. At least I created a bunch of png-files, but this didn't work for me.
Finally, I set LargeIcon to 512x512 and Icon to 64x64.
Setting of a LargeIcon fixed an icon with the switch-application dialog, but in other places icon is just missing. I probably should've done something in a different way, but I couldn't figure out what exactly I need to do.

This icon is actually loaded from web, as part of search engine intialisation. Most likely you have initialised theide in UHD mode, then switched to HD mode. TheIDE loaded these icons for UHD.

Still something to fix (I guess we will need to store both), but I do not think it is critical for stable update.

Hello Mirek,
There is a critical issue: For some reason, latest SSH package is not building on Windows (later SSL version update?)
I think, it should be fixed ASAP.

Here's the report and the solution: https://www.ultimatepp.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&goto=6 1263&#msg_61263

Well, probably it is 32x32, but I agree it looks ugly.

In MacOS, LargeIcon is used if not Null, then Icon. Rereading Apple docs it looks like setting LargeIcon to 512x512 is the correct solution, it will get rescaled down as needed. However, before I do that, I wonder about those "other places" where it is now missing...

Except we botched this... Smile

(Both of us). The PR should have been for stable branch, not master. Will just copy it this time...

I didn't do anything special. Smile

I just launched TheIDE and I didn't switch anything anywhere Smile

It turned out that this problem is related to the current master branch.
2024.1.1 rc is fine.

"other places" is Applications dialog with lower panel.
It turned out to be not a problem but a cached icon (well, lack of icon) with a quarantined application (my own application).
Not signed application downloaded from the Internet is automatically quarantined by MacOS.
Whey you try to launch it you'll get a message "App Is Damaged and Cannot Be Opened".
Basically, you need to remove the quarantine flag from your app.
Explanation one. Explanation two.
After that machine should be rebooted to refresh application cache ...
MacOS is mysterious Smile

So far setting LargeIcon to 512x512 works for me.
I do not understand what all these icon32x32, icon64x64, icon128x128, icon256x256, and icon512x512 files for ...
They seem to be ignored by MacOS ...

Probably intended for Finder to display icon for app that is not running (so have not chance to call LargeIcon).

Anyway, I take it 512x512 works and will change the code accordingly.

Hello Mirek,

Good news! I created release on GitHub. Also, I created release/2024.1 branch based on stable branch. stable branch can be removed. Also, It looks like it is version 17459 not 17490. So, Sourceforge file names are wrong. Can you check and fix?
