Qt 5.14 introduced new feature related to HighDPI screens support,
this parameter is called "scale factor rounding policy", and it is
intended to improve fractional scale factor support (like 150%).
Qt::PassThrough value guarantee that no any rounding will applied to
scale factor, and will be used as is.
Set Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling application attribute when Qt 5.14.x or
newer is used. This fixes a lot of scaling issues on HiDPI displays.
Unfortunately, this flag must be set only before QApllication object
creation, so the only one place where it can be done is main().
This raises qbt's open file descriptor limit to the available maximum
(within user privileges) and thus users don't need to adjust it
manually anymore.
Enable backtrace stuff only if GNU C library used, because current
backtrace implementation based on <execinfo.h> , which is not a
part of standard C library, it is a GNU extension.
This will be usefull when building with custom POSIX-compilant C
library (like musl) and no <execinfo.h> available.
Note: configure script will detect presence of <execinfo.h> and
enable/disable feature depending on it.
Feature is enabled by default.
Using iostream usually adds a lot of other operators (<<, endl), whereas
*printf takes only 1 function call.
Also use qUtf8Printable whenever possible.
We stored reference to parameters object in main(), but that object gets
deleted when we reset Application object upon entering daemon mode.
Change reference to copy to fix that.
write() is declared with __attribute__ ((__warn_unused_result__)) and as
such we shall check its return value. Took opportunity and adjusted
error reporting a bit: if writing to stderr fails, try to write to
stdout.
Arguments include adding torrents as paused/started, skiping hash check, setting category, downloading in sequential order, downloading first and last pieces first, and skipping the 'add new torrent' dialog. Added TriStateBoolOption class for specifying options that don't have a default value when unused (e.g. add-paused). Also improved command line usage text to include more information, have better organization, and not exceed 80 columns in width. Also also added firstLastPiecePriority field to BitTorrent::AddTorrentData, and modified TorrentHandle so that if first/last piece priority should be on, it will be toggled on after the torrent's metadata has loaded.
It may be useful to have different configurations either for portable
versions or for debugging purposes. To implement this we add two
options, avaliable via command line switches
1. An option to change configuration name ("--configuration"). The name
supplied via this option is appended to
QCoreApplication::applicationName() to form "qBittorrent_<conf_name>"
name for the configuration files.
2. An option to provide a path do directory where all the settings are
stored (kind of profile directory). There is a shortcut "--portable"
which means "use directory 'profile' near the executable location".
In order to implement that we have to perform initialisation of the
profile directories before the SettingStorage and Preferences singletones
are initialised. Thus, options parsing shall be performed without defaults
read from preferences.
