appleremote02 (part 3)

Since DEV300_m35, appleremote01 cws has been integrated, and the Apple Remote works out of the box with Impress.

Means, it will be included in the 3.1 Aqua version of OpenOffice.org :-)
Do not forget to use it with the presenter screen feature !

The feature is available and works on PowerPC machines too, but just a little number of machines are concerned. If you are such user, please send me feedback !

In meantime, I progressed a lot with appleremote02, and it works already. Play/Pause key now allows to blank screen, and I'm searching how to add other features.

Remain two issues to be solved:

- I currently use the F5 keycode to start the presentation, because there is no other simple way to start the presentation (or please contact me if Thorsten Behrens and me missed it )

- the second issue is more difficult to be solved : I can easely activate the popup menu ( i.e. contextual menu ) in fullscreen, but not control it yet, because I have no outlet with the Cocoa part -> all suggestions are welcome :-)

And for the adventurous, I do provide builds for both PowerPC and Intel, here : URL of Laurent site

They are based on DEV300_m35 + ogltrans4mac + macmenusquit + appleremote02 cws's

* ogltrans4mac cws means, OpenGL transitions are inside, and work
* macmenusquit cws aims to removes useless "Quit" entries in all OpenOffice.org applications ( Calc, Writer .. and so on)
* appleremote02 is a new apple remote implementation

Thanks in advance for any comment and feedback !!


Important: you use them at your own risks, take care to not use them in production, and make a backup of your datas *before* the tests.

Known issues (no need to file new one ;-) :

- using a high resolution for the external monitor, the area used by the NSOpenGLView for drawing the 3D scene is not correct (canvas fault imho)

- little flicker at the end: could be the rendering, maybe not complete, when the flush starts (thanks to Radek Dulik for the possible origin of the issue)
