Problems fixed:
1. When adding a label at playback position, the position of the dialog was calculated using the position of the edit cursor
2. When adding a label at selection, the dialog could be to the left of the Audacity Window, and indeed offscreen.
Some former 'On' functions have been renamed 'Do' since they didn't directly handle the menu item. Some functions that used 'Context' now use 'Project'.
... This forces a better placement of state variables in the appropriate
classes.
In future perhaps, MenuManager should be splintered into several classes, one
for each of the main toolbar menus.
Menus.cpp is over 10,000 lines. The main point of the split is to make possible a new .cpp file for MenuCreator, which is responsible for the creation of the menu bar, and which contains the near 2,000 line function MenuCreator::CreateMenusAndCommands()
The menu handlers are also (better) separated from the menu management.
Motivation:
1. The text boxes in the label track are not fully accessible for users of screen readers, and I don't think that they can be made to be fully accessible using the accessibility API used by wxWidgets. When such an edit box becomes the focus, this is not announced, and for NVDA users typed characters are not echoed.
2. Provides a work around for bugs 1778 (cannot type diacritics into text label), and 1804 (Windows: Labels do not accept IME (Chinese/Japanese) input).
Fix: Provide an option for a dialog for entering the name. The text box in the dialog is accessible for screen readers. On windows the text box receives wm_keydown and wm_char messages and so is a work around for bug 1804. Being a standard text box, it will presumably be a work around for bug 1778.
1. There is a new option in track behaviors: "Use dialog for the name of new label", which is off by default.
2. When using the commands "Add label at selection" and "Add label at playback position", when the dialog closes, focus is returned to the track which was the focus before the dialog opened. I think this is more convenient for users of screen readers.
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
1) When the program detects this, insert zeroes into the recording to keep the
other good parts synchronized.
2) When recording stops, a message box alerts the user, and a label track is
added showing the lost parts, labelled with consecutive numbers.
3) A menu item visible in alpha builds only is added to Tools, to simulate
recording errors at random times and test the reporting feature.
Problem (at least on Windows 10): The commands no longer work properly. For a simple example, with one track selected, and the last clip selected, next clip moves to a non existant clip.
This was caused be commit baec816. In this commit, a member function was added to the struct FoundClip. Because FoundClip is no longer POD, statements such as:
AudacityProject::FoundClip result{}; no longer zero initialize the struct.
Fix: explicitly zero initialize the data members of FoundClip. I've also zero initialized the data members of FoundClipBoundary, where their are potentially similar problems, although there were no problems in my tests.
Added preferences for Zoom-Toggle and put into menus.
New helper functions for determining zoom scaling.
Optional EXPERIMENTAL_ZOOM_TOGGLE_BUTTON added, and Light theme updated.
Not enabled for 2.2.2.
