... which will make it easier to change the types of those containers to
std::vectors of other string-like classes
for wxString,
IsEmpty => empty
Clear => clear
Alloc => reserve
for wxArrayString,
Count => size
GetCount => size
IsEmpty => empty
Add => push_back
Clear => clear
Empty => clear
Sort => std::sort (only with default comparator)
SetCount => resize
Last => back
Item => operator []
Alloc => reserve
It combines the old IdentInterface with the ParamsInterface, providing an identifier and parameters (if needed).
The main purpose of the change is to make the class hierarchy (as viewed via doxygen) much easier to follow.
We were for example getting many of these:
\audacity\src\widgets\numerictextctrl.h(171): warning C4458: declaration of 'value' hides class member
MSVC2013 didn't warn about these, but MSVC2017 does.
... This commit leaves at least a comment for all choice controls of all
built-in effects and commands.
Use CamelCase with no spaces for the internal identifiers, given in
wxT("...")
Use more idiomatic English with spaces in the user-visible names, given in
XO("..."); these strings go to the message catalog for internationalization
Do not use underscores
In case these strings are the same, give it just once in XO("..."), but if in
a future version it is decided to change the name in XO("..."), then the
original should be kept also in a distinct wxT("...") string, so that
saved configuration or plugin settings or macro files don't become gratuitously
incompatible just because of that user-visible name change.
Left TruncateSilence alone for now -- I think that choice demands a rewrite
as a slider instead.
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.
