OpenGl and SelectInput() not working on intel osx 10.5.8

in Integration and Hardware • 3 years ago

Hi, the selectInput() function is not working when the renderer is set to OpenGL on my macPro with OSX10.5.8 and Processing 1.2.1. If I select any other renderer the selectInput() works fine.
Also openGL and selectInput() happens to work on my powerbook G4 running osx 10.4.11 and processing 1.2.1

Any Idea about this????
Is this a reported bug?'

best regards!

I found this too, but with OS 10.6.5, so obviously not fixed yet!

Hi.

I'm running 10.6.6 OSX and encountered this problem too.

I found if the selectInput call is not made in the setup (during OPENGL initilization), it works (see below code). If the selectInput call is made in the setup function, it fails (but shouldn't). Hope this helps.

import processing.opengl.*;

boolean firstrun = true;
String loadPath;

void setup() {
size(1024, 768, OPENGL);
}

void draw() {
background(255);
if (firstrun) {
   loadPath = selectInput();
   if (loadPath == null) {
    // If a file was not selected
    println("No file was selected...");
    } else {
      // If a file was selected, print path to file
      println(loadPath);
    }
    firstrun = false;
}
}

I've had this problem and found that while the following works, it didn't let me run selectInput multiple times.

I was able, however, to make it work if I made my (STL in my case) loader into a separate thread. Than I could run selectinput multiple times (if I wanted to load multiple files).
