Double clicking .fs-uae files on OS X

[MagerValp]

Hi,
when I double click on my .fs-uae config files (associated to FS-UAE.app) with 2.4.0 it launches but says no configuration file found:

current directory is /

It works if I run them from the command line with FS-UAE\ Arcade.app/Contents/FS-UAE.app/Contents/MacOS/fs-uae A4000-040.fs-uae:

Am I missing something?

Hi, this problem occurs on recent OS X versions (the application does not get the file argument through argv like it used to. I haven't got a solution on this one yet :-/

[MagerValp]

I did a little digging, and in SDL 1.2 double clicked files were being added to gArgv, while in SDL 2.0 the application is sent an SDL_DROPFILE event at startup instead. The FS-UAE startup code is a little hard to follow, but it looks like events aren't processed until the emulation has already started?

[FrodeSolheim]

MagerValp thanks, your research is spot on. FS-UAE does in fact get an SDL_DROPFILE event on startup if the .app bundle is launched with a file

The startup code is a bit hard to follow, that's true. But for config file loading to work, the event must be processed very early, much earlier that the current SDL initialization.

The solution is to initialize SDL even earlier on OS X, and process all pending events in a special event look (really only looking for an SDL_DROPFILE event). -And it works

The fix will be included in FS-UAE 2.5.6dev.

Nice, thanks!

Or rather, thank you, since I didn't know about the SDL_DROPFILE change

It should work in this build: http://fs-uae.net/devel/2.5.5dev3/
