        * From Christophe Loustaunau, First submission: "But with vpbmaster
          I have a little problem : If I use the option --run-path d:\tmp
          vpbmaster write in the task files : --run-path
          C:\Users\Christophe It seems to use the default path and not the
          path I have specified. I have just added the line
          taskManager->setRunPath(runPath); when vpbMaster read the
          --run-path option and it works. I don't know if it's the better
          solution but anyway here is the file modified vpbmaster.cpp"
          Second submission: "If osg is compiled with
          OSG_USE_FLOAT_BOUNDINGSPHERE = OFF There is compile errors with
          VPB : osg::maximum(cutOffDistance,
          pagedLOD->getBound().radius()*_dataSet->getRadiusToMaxVisibleDistanceRatio());
          cutOffDistance is a float and the other part a double. Here is

        * From Christophe Loustaunau, "I have test vpbmaster on windows
          2000, and I think that I have have an error : If vpb have to
          create a directory like : "c:\data\mars" it fails. In fact when
          vpb have to do that, it check all the directory possible like
          this : "c:" "c:\data" "c:\data\mars" But when vpb want's to know
          if "c:" exist with osgDB::FileType type = osgDB::fileType(path)
          It fails, It's because "c:" doesn't exist but "c:\" does. So here
          is a patch based on the svn, which correct that."

        * From Jason Beverage, "Here is a fix for the vertical scale issue
          I mentioned on osg-users yesterday. It applies the DataSet
          vertical scale to any height value coming from GDAL like you
          suggested. I added a few more log messages about the scale as
          well, its up to you if you want to keep them or not."

2008-01-10 15:34 +0000 [r834]  robert:

        * From Jean-Sebastien Guay, "Here are some further changes to
          correct a few things: - fcntl.h needs to be included on Windows
          as well - moved out of the #ifdef. - Fixed a few typos in
          FileUtils.cpp WIN32 part, and re-aligned everything. :-) -
          Additionally, I don't think extern is needed on the declarations
          of the functions in include/vpb/FileUtils. At least, everything
          compiles and links correctly on Windows when they are removed...
          It also compiled well when they where there, so if it causes a
          problem on Linux then just leave them. "

2008-01-10 14:20 +0000 [r833]  robert:
