--connect doesn't load ini before connecting, causing missing pan controls

[seanogdelaney]

The --connect command line option causes server connection to occur before the ini file is processed. I think that's unintended.

In main.cpp: Jamulus constructs CClient with strConnOnStartupAddress before it constructs CClientSettings, calls Settings.Load(...), and attaches settings with Client.SetSettings(...). The same block then constructs CClientDlg later for the GUI path.

I noticed pan controls missing in my GUI after using --connect. If I disconnect and reconnect using the GUI, the pan controls reappear. I think the ordering above is the reason.

I think issue #555 is also related to startup ordering but doesn't mention this specific problem.

I can't reproduce this - once I've set to stereo in settings the pan pots appear after re-opening?

Same for me Jamulus --connect localhost and it starts with the faders with pan.

@seanogdelaney can you please:

• confirm the Jamulus version you are using
• what operating system you are using
• confirm whether the problem varies depending on which server you connect to
• post the complete command line you use to run Jamulus (you can obfuscate the server if desired)

Also try taking a moving your Jamulus.ini file to a safe place, running Jamulus without --connect and making sure your sound settings are correct, exiting, then running with --connect using those settings.
