Set up an architecture to minimize the use of the baked texture debug setting.
Instead concentrating on setting a per-region flag at the region handshake point.
This should be processed once the new regions are using the updated handshake.
The debug setting is being used in this one location as a placeholder.
Builds, but not fully tested/commented yet, passing this work off to Vir.
I recently tried to wade through llhandle.h and got somewhat perplexed. Armed
with an explanation from Richard, I've added notes to the file to try to make
it a bit less mysterious.
Leaving llhandle.h in llui restricts the set of viewer project directories
which could potentially use it, and there's nothing whatsoever UI-specific
about it.
For as long as I've been paying attention to viewer logs, every run has always
stated -- in all-caps, no less! :
NOTE: ALL NOTIFICATIONS THAT OCCUR WILL GET ADDED TO IGNORE LIST FOR LATER RUNS.
I have always found that unsettling, having little desire to automatically
ignore notifications -- especially not whatever random set happens to manifest
during a particular run. However, over time I've learned that it seems to have
no actual impact. I've wondered (not too hard) what it actually *does* mean --
but generally I'm looking at a viewer log because I'm in hot pursuit of some
quite different problem.
Stumbling across the source for this message today in
LLViewerWindow::LLViewerWindow, I was shocked -- shocked! -- to find it was
being produced unconditionally! Therefore it has heretofore been utterly
meaningless log spam. It provided no additional information whatsoever to
anyone reading a log -- only that vague sense of unease.
Make this conditional on gSavedSettings.getBOOL("IgnoreAllNotifications"),
which would appear to be the original intent. Now its presence (or absence)
actually says something about internal conditions in the viewer.
