Issue running via Remote Desktop #44

Closed codeling closed 5 years ago

codeling commented 5 years ago

Sometimes, when running open_iA on a machine to which one is connected via remote desktop, it is not working properly, i.e. open_iA crashes when loading a dataset.

This could be related to Remote Desktop not handling OpenGL properly, see e.g. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/c8295ef8-3711-4576-9293-2c4965280165/opengl-and-remote-desktop?forum=winserverTS

This situation should be improved now (for e.g. devices running WIndows 7). Note that Remote Desktop only works properly with OpenGL when workstation graphics cards are used (NVidia Quadro or similar).

Also, the new check for OpenGL version should help in preventing crashes and instead giving information on how to get open_iA to run anyway.
