Previously, the number of processes spawned was always
QThread::idealThreadCount() (returning the number of logical CPU
cores). On new systems with many cores, however, this can result
in 12, 16, 24, or ... processes being spawned, which is a bit
excessive.
This establishes a new config variable,
'max_numprocs_tagclients' within the Settings group, in order
to limit the maximum number of tag client processes that get
spawned. It also adds a means of setting this via the Behavior
page in Settings. It can be set to any integer in the interval
[1, QThread::idealThreadCount()]; it defaults to the maximal value
so as to emulate the old behavior.
"Clementine" (as returned by QCoreApplication::applicationName())
does not match the system .desktop file name (but it may match user
.desktop files, as was the case for me); Clementine won't be picked up
as an application in KDE Plasma notification settings unless it case
matches.
Qt 5.11 added a function allowing the first column in a list to be set
to be movable. Contingent on its availability, make the first column
of the playlist viewer draggable.
In 2011, there was a bug that caused NVIDIA drivers to hang
Clementine on shutdown. In 2012, only some drivers had the
fix for this issue. Now, in 2019, we do not need to work
around this bug. By reverting commit
c2723008a2
we work around known bad drivers, but do not penalize all
NVIDIA users for this ancient bug.
Async song loading can fail without user feedback. This change adds return codes
to these async load functions. It will now produce an error dialog in simple
scenarios (test case is user selecting a file that is not readable). Other cases,
such as directories and playlists, aren't yet covered.
QTimeLine duration must be greater than 0. If set to 0, a default of 1000ms will
be used. To avoid this, enforce a minimum of 1ms for pause and cross fade values
if those fades are enabled.
There are a number of cases where gst_pipeline_get_bus,
gst_element_get_static_pad, and g_object_get are called without releasing
references. In addition to memory usage, some of these elements hold file
descriptors. In normal operation, two file descriptors are leaked for each
played track. The default fd ulimit for many linux distros is 1024. This
is likely the cause of the crash reported in issue 6309.
This change fixes the obvious and consistent leaks, but it's probably not a
complete solution. There are many error and corner conditions that need to be
examined.
