i need to test this more on Windows/Linux to ensure it works fine there
too, but i think it should be fine.
getting native OS file dialogs is _probably_ most important on OS X
as the Swing JFileChooser version lacks the favourites column which
a lot of users will end up feeling somewhat lost without.
this change is in prep for some serialization changes i will be doing
in the very near future. i will need access to the underlying Image
object and the Icon interface doesn't include that so i would need to
cast at some point to ImageIcon anyway.
basically, save it under ~/.llanfair always.
the reason being is that under certain deployments it's entirely
possible the current directory where the JAR is located _might_ not be
writeable by the application. but the user's home directory should
always be writeable.
the only reason i'm bothering with doing something semi-drastic like
changing the entire indentation style from spaces to tabs is because
i prefer tabs, but more importantly, since all my editors are configured
to use tabs, i will likely accidentally introduce tab indenting
somewhere without realizing it and then everything would end up being
inconsistent. would rather just solve this problem right now. :)
just some "standardization" (debatable i guess) to the source directory
layout and resources directory.
removal of the dependancy on Sidekick-1.2 jar is mainly because Xunkar
does not have the source for this particular version of the library and
the current version on Github does not have some of the stuff that we
need for for this version (not even in an updated form, looks like he
did a fair bit of cleaning out of stuff he no longer needed). i would
rather _not_ depend on jars where no source / future support is possible
so i included decompiled sources for this library so future bugfixing
and modification is a bit easier moving forward. can decide if we want
to move to the latest version of Sidekick at a later time.
