FontCache is back on Windows

Fontcache dialog is back on Windows, including Windows 11

changed milestone to %3.0.19

added Platform::Windows desktop label

The code did not change (fontconfig contrib, libass, freetype). It was there in 3.0.17 too.

The only to disable it would be to disable fontconfig contrib (as done in 4.0). Or not show a dialog when it's happening.

I thought there was a way to have a delay before showing a popup in Qt interface.

There doesn't seem to be any code to handle a delay here https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/blob/3.0.x/modules/gui/qt/dialogs/external.cpp. The 4.0 code is a bit different but there's no delay either.

It seems before 94379150 there was a QTimer::singleShot( 1500, dlg, SLOT( show() ) ); to show the dialog.

@robUx4 good catch.

Should this delay handled be moved in the core dialog part ?

I think you should just add it back to the Qt interface.

Yes, the core should just report the progress update, not care when it's convenient for the receiver to receive it or not.

Ah, so, I remember correctly, there was a timer.
