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.
* MIDI Device Info menu item, like Audio Device Info
* MIDI device info in crash reports
* Only enabled with EXPERIMENTAL_MIDI_OUT, but tracks info related to the (unimplemented) EXPERIMENTAL_MIDI_IN
The messages sent to screen readers for these commands were incorrect when stereo tracks were present. This has been fixed, including the case where the two channels of a stereo track have different clip boundaries.

I've implemented three states for what to do if no selection:
0 - Grey out (no longer used)
1 - Auto-select
2 - Give the warning message and try again.
Second attempt at getting the commands to update history, so that they can be undone (previous attempt at b911607, which didn't call the undo manager for each keydown).
Both a single keypress (keydown, then keyup), and holding down a key (multiple keydowns followed by a keyup) result in a single entry in Audacity's history dialog. Note that this code relies on a change to the undo mananger in commit 63ae687.
This means you can now select just a time, and get all tracks selected, or some tracks, and get all time selected.
One side effect of this is that if you select a label (only) and apply 'cut' you now just cut the label, rather than cutting all tracks. If you select a label and apply echo, you now get an error message, rather than applying echo to all tracks.
Now if there is a time selection and no tracks selected, then just select all the tracks, preserving the time selection.
This helps in the case a user has made a time selection, e.g. with selection toolbar, and then clicked on track panel, losing the selection of tracks but preserving the time selection.
I also shortened some repeated cut-and-pasted code.
When When two clips are immediately next to each other, the GetEndTime() of the first clip and the GetStartTime() of the second clip may not be exactly equal due to rounding errors. The existing code assumed they were equal, and this lead to the wrong clip boundaries or clips being found.
There are a number of ways of fixing this which could be explored. The current solution involves changing only the code for the keyboard interaction with clips.
The fix:
1. The test used for two clips being immediately next to each other is that GetEndSample() on the first clip is equal to to GetStartSample() on the second clip.
2. When searching for the start/end times of clips, the cases where GetEndTime() and GetStartTime() are not equal are taken into account. This is done in the two functions AudacityProject::AdjustForFindingStartTimes and AudacityProject::AdjustForFindingEndTimes.
Previously, these two commands used the clips in the focused track. They now have similar to the Tracks->Pan->Left/Right/Center commands. That is if any audio tracks are selected, the clips in these tracks are used, otherwise the clips in all audio tracks are used.
This update affects the four commands:
Cursor to Previous clip boundary
Cursor to Next clip boundary
Select previous clip boundary to cursor
Select cursor to next clip boundary
Previously these commands all used the clips in the focused track. This update changes this so that their behaviour is the same as the Tracks->Pan->Left/Right/Center commands. That is, if any audio tracks are selected, all the clips in these tracks are used, else the clips in all audio tracks are used.
The new preference is in the view menu and on the Gui preferences page.
Also Ext Menus rearranged to more closely match default toolbar order.
Also F11 (a new menu command to show/hide maximised) now has a check mark.
This change needs testing on mac as mac is pickier about when menus are updated.
Please Note:
In ViewInfo.h there is the comment left by Paul:
// There is NO GetZoom()!
// Use TimeToPosition and PositionToTime and OffsetTimeByPixels!
I needed to get the value of the current zoom so that I could use the functions AudacityProject::ZoomInByFactor and AudacityProject::ZoomOutByFactor to handle the change in zoom when a preset zoom is chosen. So I added GetZoom() for this use.
Clip Left
Clip Right
If the cursor lies within a clip, the clip and the cursor is moved 1 pixel left/right.
If the cursor position is at both a clip end and a clip start, the second of these clips is moved.
The movement currently ignores the snap to setting on the selection bar, and there is no snapping to the clip boundaries of other clips.
Following the behaviour or shifting with the mouse, the distance moved is rounded to an integral number of samples, and the minimum distance moved is one sample.
Added two commands:
Select > Previous clip. Select the previous clip for which clip start < selection start/cursor position.
Select > Next clip. If the position of selection start/cursor is at the start of a clip, and selection end is not at the end of the clip, select that clip. Otherwise, select the next clip for which clip start > selection start/cursor position.
Added the commands:
Cursor to > Previous clip boundary
Cursor to > Next clip boundary
Select > Previous clip boundary to cursor
Select > Cursor to next clip boundary
