From syncker view name to IG view ID?

[Amerio.Stephane]

Hello,

In ig_config.xml I can specify the CIGI view ID for a specific Syncker name. How do I retrieve the view ID from the name in C++?

<syncker_channels>
    <channel syncker_name="main"   view_id="0" use_syncker_projection="0"/>
    <channel syncker_name="sphere" view_id="1" use_syncker_projection="0"/>
    <channel syncker_name="pano"   view_id="2" use_syncker_projection="0"/>
    <channel syncker_name="ext"    view_id="3" use_syncker_projection="0"/>
</syncker_channels>

// I'm looking for something like this
IG::Manager::get()->getViewID("ext");

Thanks!

Bonus question: How can I enumerate all listed syncker names and view_id in ig_config.xml (2.12)?

Since 2.13 there is a method get getSynckerChannels and getViewTypes

const auto & syncker_channels = ig_manager->getConfig()->getSynckerChannels();
const auto & view_types = ig_manager->getConfig()->getViewTypes();

where you can change and save this blocks of ig_config.xml.

 

It looks like you are right, we need to add a method like 

IG::Manager::get()->getViewID("ext");

UPD: this is already exist getSlaveView("ext") since 2.13


Before 2.13 there is no way to get it. (except for manually reading the xml file).

The name suggests it works for Slave. Will it work if the view is actually assigned to the master?

Thanks!
