... in many places where the function call will later need to be between
modules (or libraries, or the executable) and the annotation will be a necessity
to keep the linkage working on Windows.
That's all that this sweeping commit does.
... This only cuts and pastes some functions from FileNames to another new file
and namespace, and changes namespace qualifiers where they are called.
The cycle resulted because of the need to include widgets/ErrorDialog.h
!!! THERE WILL NO DOUBT BE BUGS !!!
This is a big one and there's still several things to
complete. Just want to get this in the wild to start
receiving feedback.
One big thing right now is that it will NOT load pre-aup3
files. An importer is on the way for that.
This removes all of the OnDemand code embedded throughout
the main codebase. Individual files related specifically
to OD have been left in place, but removed from the build.
... Requires some more wx header inclusions, a renaming of CopyFile (to avoid
colliding with a certain macro changing it to CopyFileW), and an explicit
deletion of a copy constructor and assignment (to avoid generation of
std::vector members for an incomplete type)
... It must be empty, or else one extension not including the leading dot;
then correct the string passed to FileSelector in lib-src, which should be
a filename pattern
... for wxString and wxArrayStringEx, holding file paths (absolute or relative,
directory or plain file); to be replaced later with different types
(not yet using std::vector, becase of some uses of wxArrayString::Index with
two arguments)
... Copy old Chains files to Macros, once only per session, never overwriting.
Leave old files in place in case the user downgrades their Audacity.
When removing a Macro, remove also any like-named legacy chain.
On windows the capitalisation does not matter.
On Mac/Windows we use 'audacity' in path names, even if the directories wxWidgets suggests have 'Audacity'.
I've made it where you can enable and disable via experimentals:
EXPERIMENTAL_REALTIME_EFFECTS
EXPERIMENTAL_EFFECTS_RACK
You will notice that, as of now, the only effects currently set up for
realtime are VSTs. Now that this is in, I will start converting the
rest.
As I start to convert the effects, the astute of you may notice that
they no longer directly access tracks or any "internal" Audacity
objects. This isolates the effects from changes in Audacity and makes
it much easier to add new ones.
Anyway, all 3 platforms can now display VST effects in graphical mode.
Yes, that means Linux too. There are quite a few VSTs for Linux if
you search for them.
The so-called "rack" definitely needs some discussion, work, and attention
from someone much better at graphics than me. I'm not really sure it should
stay in as-is. I'd originally planned for it to be simply a utility window
where you can store your (preconfigured) favorite effects. It should probably
revert back to that idea.
You may notice that this DOES include the API work I did. The realtime effects
were too tied to it and I didn't want to redo the whole thing. As I mentioned
elsewhere, the API stuff may or may not be very future proof.
So, let the critter complaints commence. I absolute KNOW there will be some.
(I know I'll be hearing from the Linux peeps pretty darn quickly. ;-))
