HawkEye (MacOS) default real-time off #63

Closed leavesntwigs closed 4 years ago

leavesntwigs commented 5 years ago

When HawkEye is started as a native app on MacOS, the default setting is real-time mode. The default should be archive mode. With real-time turned off, HawkEye will read archive files and display the data, otherwise, the time period is wrong.

The Time-control -> Set realtime mode is checked as default on HawkEye startup. Change this to be unchecked on startup.

The issue seems to be with starting HawkEye without a params file. The behavior is the same on Linux as on MacOS when no params file is specified, the default is to use realtime mode.

add a menu option to open a params file. Load the archive mode from the params file.
Somehow have the HawkEye GUI remember the params file and reload it on the next start.

It would be better to run HawkEye from the command line and specify a parameter file, rather than open a parameter file after HawkEye starts. The parameter file is a key part of the initialization and configuration of the HawkEye GUI.

The default startup mode was set "apps/radar/HawkEye - setting defaults in paramdef file so that a user… … can start up in archive polar mode without a param file". Perhaps we want to leave things as they are for default behavior.
