Satellites menu added to Mac OS X version

Post #1by dirkpitt » 09.12.2007, 05:18

A satellites item has been added to the context menu for objects.
The feature is almost identical to the Windows version. Right click on the sun to see an "Orbiting bodies >" menu with asteroids, comets etc. Extrasolar stars get a "Planets >" menu instead. Non-stellar objects gain a "Satellites >" menu. The satellites menu is not displayed if the object doesn't have any satellites.

Note to translators:
The new satellites menu uses the .po localizations instead (mostly) so it should require no further localization work. (But let me know if there is a missing localization)
Also, the "Show Alternate Surface >" menu item has been removed from the various .nib files. The alt surfaces and satellite menus are now done entirely in code, this prevents the menu from being displayed when there are no alternate surfaces/satellites.

I fixed an issue with the xcode project file that was causing fresh compiles to fail. Left in testing code by accident. Ought to be fixed now.
