Some love for the sample browser to speed up development

Post by PhilipLB »

Hi,

currently, when you develop a new sample, there are two things slowing you down:
  • It would be great, if you could preselect a sample via command line parameter so you don't have to find your new sample.
  • The sample browser loads all resources at the beginning. With a lot of media, you have to wait quite some time. It would be great, if the SdkSample-class got a new pure virtual method "getResources()" which is called on sample start where it return it's desired resources so they can be loaded on sample start.
Someone with a bit of sparetime? :)

It doesn't load up every resource. But quite a lot of them. This could be narrowed down with some more specialized resource group usage.

Check out the "StartupSample" parameter to samples.cfg.
