... Reuse the external function registration added earlier in 2.3.0
development, for support of internationalization in Nyquist.
This way, we avoid making cyclic static linkage dependencies between the
library and the application.
Also adds the options
;type tool
;type tool process
;type tool generator
;type tool analyze
These tools will appear in the Tools menu, but behave as their second argument (if any)
These changes below are paving the way for aud-do:
Nyquist Effect now detects self reentrancy and skips reentry if so.
Nyquist Effect now detects if another effect has run during effect processing, and does not send Nyquist
output if so.
Neither of these preparatory changes have an effect in absence of AUD-DO (or other function
that allows Nyquist effect to call out to Audacity functions).
Now shown as "Nyquist Effects Prompt" (in Effects menu) and "Nyquist Tools Prompt" (in Tools Menu).
These prompts will have slightly different behaviour, e.g. only tools allow aud-do.
... preserving old behavior, but such escapes should not be used if the string
needs to localize because xgettext will not treat them as Nyquist.cpp does.
... The "Set" prompt for checkboxes;
Strings in Choice controls, which had been declared translatable with XO, but
the translations not yet used.
This can be tested in Ukrainian locale now, for editing parameters of
commands like Select or Drag, but be aware that even uk.po is not up to date
for all recent changes in the Manage Macros dialog itself.
... The code that parses the header was always just throwing them out.
The code that populates menus deduces whether to add ellipses, as there are
controls or not, regardless what the $name line said.
... allowing (_ "...") for single strings, and allowing a sequence of such
inside outer ( ) for choice controls, but still accepting the old syntax too
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
