Bug: Context Menu > Load Playlist... doesn't work first time after app starts

[mpogue2]

Always works the second time.

1.0.7 does not have this problem. 1.0.7 built with Macosx14.5 DOES have this problem. Top-of-tree with 14.5 executed from within QtCreator works fine. Top-of-tree with 14.5 executed from command line, executable inside the build directory, works fine. Top-of-tree with 14.5 double-clicked from finder DOES have this problem.

Geez.

This problem was not fixed by upgrading to Qt6.7.1 .

Actually, NONE of the playlist context menu items work the first time the playlist context is instantiated. It's not just the Load Playlist... item that fails. They all work the SECOND time it's instantiated.

With debug output going to the debug.log file, I can see that loadPlaylistFromFileToSlot() is never getting called the first time, and it's always being called the second time.

AND, after much testing:

• the QtCreator initiated app always works
• double-clicking the .app file only works if the app comes up, and I switch to another window, and then come back to the SquareDesk window (WTF?). It can be ANY other window, and it doesn't have to be overlapping or touching the SquareDesk window. If SquareDesk window loses focus and regains it, then the context menus all work the first time.

Even weirder:

• If I don't show the SPLASH SCREEN at startup, the double-click of .app file allows context menus to work first time.

Commit: e2a075219a9ff720a0a15fd2a07e1f503e493bf3 fixes this.

This is SO weird. It has something to do with the internal state of the mainWindow, and I was able to get it back to a good state by doing setVisible(false), then setVisible(true). Don't ask me why this works, but I was poking around doing a LOT of different things with mainWindow and splashScreen visibility to try to simulate clicking away from SquareDesk and back again at app start time, and this method seemed to work 100% of the time.
