First Submission email from Gustav:
"This submission adds a --cache option to osgconv and osgviewer that enables setObjectCacheHint(osgDB::Options::CACHE_ALL); It greatly reduces memory usage when a .osg file has lots of external references with ProxyNode:s that points to the same file.
Options are also added to the osg plugin. The code was already mostly implemented but there was no way to change the options.
includeExternalReferences
writeExternalReferenceFiles
A counter is added to keep track if an external file has already been written down to avoid writing the same file over and over again. If it has already been written once then it is not written again.
The counter is added to the Output class in osgDB.
"
Second Submission email from Gustav:
"This is a continuation to my previous submission.
I noticed that the same problem that I fixed in ProxyNode.cpp for the osg plugin (external files being written over and over again) also existed in the ive plugin. I attached a submission where the ive plugin remembers which external files that have already been written and do not write them again."
Changes to the above done by Robert Osfield,
changed command line parameter to --enable-object-cache
changed set/get methods in osgDB::Output and ive/DataOutputStream.cpp to be s/getExternalFileWritten(const std::string&)
cleaned up set up of osgDB::Options.
Converted Present3D across from using libxml2 to using the new osgDB::XmlNode/XmlNode::Input classes from Xml Parsing.
This changes removes the dependency on libxml2, and allows the present3D application and p3d to work on all platforms.
I eventually found out that it was now disabled (the mailing list
archive tells me it is because of multithreaded write issues with
vpn). I then decided to use osgarchive to make it myself from the
generated output. However if one of the insert parameters is a
directory, it won't be able to find them. The attached versions
corrects this."
" + "Further improvement for conversion to IVE format. Compressed DDS files are written for IVE output when noTexturesInIVEFile option is defined i.e. osgconv --compressed -O noTexturesInIVEFile dir1/input.osg dir2/output.ive will write images into dir2."
The code changes osgconv so that "osgconv --help" displays help info about --formats and --plugins, plus it also displays documentation for --format and --plugin, which were previously missing."
