This is a squash of 50 commits.
This merges the capabilities of BatchCommands and Effects using a new
AudacityCommand class. AudacityCommand provides one function to specify the
parameters, and then we leverage that one function in automation, whether by chains,
mod-script-pipe or (future) Nyquist.
- Now have AudacityCommand which is using the same mechanism as Effect
- Has configurable parameters
- Has data-entry GUI (built using shuttle GUI)
- Registers with PluginManager.
- Menu commands now provided in chains, and to python batch.
- Tested with Zoom Toggle.
- ShuttleParams now can set, get, set defaults, validate and specify
the parameters.
- Bugfix: Don't overwrite values with defaults first time out.
- Add DefineParams function for all built-in effects.
- Extend CommandContext to carry output channels for results.
We abuse EffectsManager. It handles both Effects and
AudacityCommands now. In time an Effect should become a special case of
AudacityCommand and we'll split and rename the EffectManager class.
- Don't use 'default' as a parameter name.
- Massive renaming for CommandDefinitionInterface
- EffectIdentInterface becomes EffectDefinitionInterface
- EffectAutomationParameters becomes CommandAutomationParameters
- PluginType is now a bit field.
This way we can search for related types at the same time.
- Most old batch commands made into AudacityCommands.
The ones that weren't are for a reason. They are used by mod-script-pipe
to carry commands and responses across from a non-GUI thread to the GUI
thread.
- Major tidy up of ScreenshotCommand
- Reworking of SelectCommand
- GetPreferenceCommand and SetPreferenceCommand
- GetTrackInfo and SetTrackInfo
- GetInfoCommand
- Help, Open, Save, Import and Export commands.
- Removed obsolete commands ExecMenu, GetProjectInfo and SetProjectInfo
which are now better handled by other commands.
- JSONify "GetInfo: Commands" output, i.e. commas in the right places.
- General work on better Doxygen.
- Lyrics -> LyricsPanel
- Meter -> MeterPanel
- Updated Linux makefile.
- Scripting commands added into Extra menu.
- Distinct names for previously duplicated find-clipping parameters.
- Fixed longstanding error with erroneous status field number which
previously caused an ASSERT in debug.
- Sensible formatting of numbers in Chains, 0.1 not 0.1000000000137
... See commit 3b90538b84 which removed the
only use of the untranslated strings.
Also follows better i18n guidelines for composing the VSTEffect description.
... The keys are only ever used as internal identifiers in wxConfigFile
objects. So they are often space-less and camel-cased.
I have noticed a couple instances of translators confused by these.
... whenever they really describe the size of a buffer that fits in memory, or
of a block file (which is never now more than a megabyte and so could be fit in
memory all at once), or a part thereof.
... And in some places where a library uses signed types, assert that
the reported number is not negative.
What led me to this, is that there are many places where a size_t value for
an allocation is the product of a number of channels and some other number.
... This makes much code agnostic about how other things (functions and
arguments) are typed.
Many of these neeed to become size_t instead of sampleCount.
Bug 958 is due to rounding that is not visible to the user.
By providing one extra decimal place to the New Peak Amplitude (dB)
the user can see if they have exceeded 0 dB by a small amount.
When using FloatingPointValidator and calculating the min / max
range as floats or doubles, the validated control value has been
rounded to 'n' decimal places, but the min / max range have not
been rounded. It is therefore a matter of chance whether the
rounded control value, when at the extreme limit of the range,
is within the higher precision range or not.
Calculate with doubles rather than float.
Simplify calculation of max/min peak.
Slight hack to work around limitation in FloatingPointValidator.
Allow 'close equality' in CheckClip().
Tested on Debian 8 and Release build on Ubuntu 14.10.
Non-linear effects now process tracks before mixing.
This will be slower when multiple tracks are selected
but the preview should now match the applied effect.
SetLinearEffectFlag(true) allows linear effects to
preview more quickly when multiple tracks selected, by
pre-mixing selected tracks.
Simple generators like Tone and Noise may be marked as
'linear' so that they only preview a few seconds.
Generators that vary over time (such as Chirp) must use
the full duration that is set. As this currently
requires calculating the full duration, preview for
'non-linear' generators are not limited to the preview
length.
Fix for a rounding bug that causes the OK button to be sometimes greyed out. The bug may be Linux only (not tested on other platforms) but should not adversely affect other OS's.
This brings the builtin, LV2, and VAMP effects inline with the
Audio Units, LADSPA, and VST effects. All effects now share
a common UI.
This gives all effects (though not implemented for all):
User and factory preset capability
Preset import/export capability
Shared or private configuration options
Builtin effects can now be migrated to RTP, depending on algorithm.
LV2 effects now support graphical interfaces if the plugin supplies one.
Nyquist prompt enhanced to provide some features of the Nyquist Workbench.
It may not look like it, but this was a LOT of work, so trust me, there
WILL be problems and everything effect related should be suspect. Keep
a sharp eye (or two) open.
