Dependency related issues with GUI redesign Windows build #679

Current tasks that have been identified by @nwagenbrenner and myself.

  • Qt cached settings are not being read properly. If installing a new build alongside and old Qt4 build, the dependencies between how versions handling the cached settings will cause a crash. A potential fix would be to include the version number in the settings name.
  • PDF output is working, but it does not have a legend. This is most likely an issue with GDAL and Poppler. To investigate, add the feature tools to our vcpkg.json file. This will install the gdal command line tools, allowing us to test PDF functionality outside the WindNinja GUI.
  • The size of the installation is 1.5 GB, which is far too large. Areas where data size could improve is ensuring we only have DLLS that are needed for WindNinja.
  • On start up, Qt WebEngine warns that the locales data cannot be found. This happens because our CMakeLists.txt does not have install commands to grab the locales folders from vcpkg properly.
