... The purpose of the boolean field in command entries was to exclude certain
menu commands from being steps in macros, because they require user interaction.
Effects are never meant to be excluded, even though they normally have dialogs,
but in the context of macro execution, the parameters are supplied by other
means.
... This capability was unused. The only uses of item lists are in
TrackMenus.cpp, for aligning tracks.
The parsing of a translated string for encoded infomration was questionable.
... with one exception (/FileFormats/FFmpegAACProfile),
the calls are replaced with TieNumberAsChoice.
Some unfortunately repetitious string tables are a small price in exchange for
reduced confusion in ShuttleGui.cpp
Untranslated strings are passed to TieNumberAsChoice, which is wrong, but that
will be made right in the next commit when we change the implementation of that
function
... Make the array of integer choices optional, and call through to the
non-deprecated overload of TieChoice, which uses strings.
In 2.3.3 this function is only used in the Quality preferences dialog.
This is part of the work of fixing Equalization by splitting it into two effects.
The Graphic EQ effect now does not show the curve or 'grid on/off' checkbox.
Screenshot Commands now include Graphic EQ and Filter Curve in the captures (and not EQ anymore).
Menu items now have a space in them.
... which I think was only meant to define a precompiled header for speed on
Windows, and is not necessary for compilation. It is not included in many
other places.
The result is to shrink the big s.c.c. from 44 to 38. Five files remain in
a new small component:
CommandManager
Menus
ToolBar
ToolDock
ToolManager
The sixth freed file is AudacityHeaders itself.
... and eliminate some unnecessary calls to SubstitutePendingChangedTrack,
because the track and the substitute store Y and height in their shared
TrackView object.
Also make GetMinimizedHeight() virtual to avoid inclusion of TrackPanel.h in
TrackView.cpp.
... Mostly into CommonCommandFlags.cpp, but some elsewhere, to avoid giving
that new file problematic dependencies on LabelTrack, ControlToolBar, and
EffectManager.
Note that CutCopyAvailableFlag is critically ordered, for message purposes,
only with AudioIONotAvailableFlag, the only flag with a message that it combines
with in menu item definitions.
The dependency on LabelTrack.cpp might not be a bad one later, if the track and
its view can be separated, and that would allow CutCopyAvailableFlag to be
put with the others. But much other work on LabelTrack must happen first.
