wxPython upgrade to 4.1.0

[DarkFenX]

wxpython 4.1.0 has been released just yesterday and I am creating this issue to track any issues related to it. I am still through the process of fixing various bugs which can be fixed on our side, but some issues cannot be solved:

• crashes when loading some images (e.g. in wx built-in images which are used in character editor) on some Windows' "format" settings: Ability to load PNG images with "resolution" data embedded depends on OS "formats" setting wxWidgets/Phoenix#1515
  • given the impact, should hold off the upgrade until it is fixed
• vertical rulers in most of pyfa views: Unremovable vertical rulers in wx.ListCtrl in report mode on wxpython 4.1.0 wxWidgets/Phoenix#1609
• progress dialogs are broken: ProgressDialog crashes on wxpython 4.1.0 wxWidgets/Phoenix#1610
  • can use GenericProgressDialog, if it takes too much time to fix it
• panels cannot change size after wx's panel init: wx.Panel.SetSize() doesn't resize panel wxWidgets/Phoenix#1615
• StaticText returns the same size regardless of font size (fucks up our stats panels since smaller size font is used, and they become too wide): Setting font size changes StaticText's font size, but doesn't change what GetText returns wxWidgets/Phoenix#1617

I believe I have checked all the functionality to cope with stricter assertions of wxpython 4.1.0. Once listed bugs are ironed, we can switch to the new release, and work on hidpi support (tickets like #1225).

Don't mean to be rude - but why was this release with some nasty bugs?

[DarkFenX]

If you are talking about wxpython - could be just 1st release after series of major changes in both underlying wxwidgets kit and wxpython wrapper. The 1st issue in the list (with crash) is not new, however, it is present in 4.0.7post2 as well.

I am not expecting all of them to be fixed, but ways to work around them would be nice to have.

Another wxPython 4.1.0 problem is that

bmp.SetSize((bmp.GetWidth() // scale, bmp.GetHeight() // scale))

fails with:

wxpython 4.0 version 4.10 still not upstreamed on Debian or Ubuntu 23 sept 2020. It is marked that version 4.10 is available. I've got a sneaky feeling it will be done sometime after october as there probably still somethings to be ironed out.

@m-sasha : Bitmap.SetSize is not there to scale. Use Image.Scale.
Changing bitmap sizes is gone, as it never made real sense (SetSize was an alias for SetWidth+SetHeight, but these did never touch the image data.)

https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.1/classwx_bitmap.html#a0091921ee85f7444e846e6183ec64909

"This function is deprecated since version 3.1.2, dimensions and depth can only be set at construction time."

[DietmarSchwertberger]

I would suggest to close this ticket. There's no point in having "meta tickets".
Some of the tickets are no bugs anyway.
Sorry, thought this ticket is on wxPython.

[DietmarSchwertberger]

Is there any blocking point for you?

[DarkFenX]

Is there any blocking point for you?

Not yet. The only blocking point for me is my time. I began re-evaluating dependency upgrade, but got caught up in a hurricane of irl events, so will get back to it as soon as i have more spare time.

We finally did it: https://github.com/pyfa-org/Pyfa/releases/tag/v2.57.0dev1
