MacOS bugs

[gasparschott]

Thanks to your assistance I have been able to build GEDKeeper for MacOS. However, I have encountered the following issues so far:

On startup, GEDKeeper always asks to select language.
On startup, the last opened project is not restored. In Options > Common, "Load recently opened files at startup" is disabled and cannot be checked.
On startup, the last opened window size is not restored, either for new projects or when opening a previously saved file.
From these behaviors it seems that app preferences are not being saved or read. ~/.config/GEDKeeper3/GEDKeeper2.ini does not seem to record anything pertinent, and ~/Library/Preferences/GEDKeeper3.plist only contains one dict entry:
<key>NSWindow Frame NSNavPanelAutosaveName</key> <string>0 0 700 645 0 0 1728 1079 </string>

• UI: MacOS "File", "Edit", "Window", and "Help" default menus are not removed; i.e., these menu items are duplicated in the menu bar, after GEDKeeper's own menu items.
• UI: Color backgrounds of UI list items and some other UI elements are white, making text unreadable, at least in dark mode (white on white). For example, the "Select Language" window appears white. Backgrounds should be transparent. I changed e.BackgroundColor = Colors.White to e.BackgroundColor = Colors.Transparent in ZGraphControl.cs, ArborViewer.cs, GKListView.cs and most cases were fixed when I built the app. However, Options > Event Types still displays white backgrounds for all the list items and the text cannot be seen.
• UI: It would be nice to be able to display text names for the icons in GEDKeeper's toolbar.

That's all for now.

I do not have any Apple devices or software. I do not have a developer license. I do not make releases for MacOS.

Unfortunately, I cannot help you with these issues.

I’ll try to check what’s going on with the Mac. Mac will be my main platform for next a while.
