* Loop play-at-speed and cut preview play-at-speed implemented.
* Shift or ctrl down now affect all relevant buttons, loop or cut preview, normal or at speed, and append-record.
With realtime preview, the keyboard user will need this to get
back and forth between the effect and the project window. Actualy,
the "problem" existed before this since the keyboard user couldn't
switch between project and Plot Spectrum windows.
The normal flags-based keyboard handling would not work since it
depends on the state of the project and requires a project window
to have the current focus.
In this new case, a modeless dialog may actually have the focus and
using the "switch window" key combo may happen in nearly any mode, like
while playing.
So, I "created" the concept of "meta" commands...ones that do not have
the restrictions mentioned above. The should be used sparingly and
you must be careful about what happens within their handlers.
I've added some of the new plugin stuff to LV2, Nyquist, and
Vamp so that they play better in the new system. They no
longer get bunched in with the Audacity effects when sorting
or grouping the menus. They have not been fully converted
but they should be good for 2.1.0.
Nyquist plugins now include ";author" and ";copyright"
statements.
Added the 4 new Nyquist plugins to the Windows build.
Audiounits are still coming...had to push them to the back
burner to get this other stuff out of the way.
Scanning for new plugins has been improved so that newly
discovered ones will be shown to the user when Audacity starts.
Effects menu sorting has been fixed and improved.
Disabling effect types in Preferences works again and you
no longer have to restart Audacity for them the change to work.
Effect usage in chains works again.
Plugin registration dialog code simplified a bit.
Group names in the pluginregistry are now base64 encoded. I
never really thought about it, but wxFileConfig group names
are case insensitive and since I was using the group name as
the plugin ID, I ran into a conflict on Linux where there
were two plugins with the same name, just different case. (And
they were different plugins.) Hoping all of this will change
when/if the config file gets converted to XML. (wx3 if finally
including XML support)
A fair amount of cleanup of this new code has been done and
will continue as more stuff is converted.
Current options:
Publisher: name (the closest to what we have now)
Name (doesn't include the publisher, just a straigt up alpha sort
Publisher (creates submenus based on the publisher)
Type (creates submenus based on the type, VST, Nyquist, etc.)
And the Linux method of creating submenus based on number of items
is available to all and you can choose how menu you want per submenu.
I had to bring this back since I'd removed it when for the new effects
and I figured why limit it to only Linux...
Check it out in Preferences (effect page).
You'll also notice that the effects page is starting to talk about
plugins. That will progress further (baby steps) so bare with me
for just a bit more.
I've made it where you can enable and disable via experimentals:
EXPERIMENTAL_REALTIME_EFFECTS
EXPERIMENTAL_EFFECTS_RACK
You will notice that, as of now, the only effects currently set up for
realtime are VSTs. Now that this is in, I will start converting the
rest.
As I start to convert the effects, the astute of you may notice that
they no longer directly access tracks or any "internal" Audacity
objects. This isolates the effects from changes in Audacity and makes
it much easier to add new ones.
Anyway, all 3 platforms can now display VST effects in graphical mode.
Yes, that means Linux too. There are quite a few VSTs for Linux if
you search for them.
The so-called "rack" definitely needs some discussion, work, and attention
from someone much better at graphics than me. I'm not really sure it should
stay in as-is. I'd originally planned for it to be simply a utility window
where you can store your (preconfigured) favorite effects. It should probably
revert back to that idea.
You may notice that this DOES include the API work I did. The realtime effects
were too tied to it and I didn't want to redo the whole thing. As I mentioned
elsewhere, the API stuff may or may not be very future proof.
So, let the critter complaints commence. I absolute KNOW there will be some.
(I know I'll be hearing from the Linux peeps pretty darn quickly. ;-))
We have separate record and play meters. The original kind of meter is now called a combined meter. I've kept it because it can be useful when undocked if you do want both meters. I've also fixed it so that if made very narrow the meters stack vertically just as they already did horizontally.
This change is believed to be a direct refactoring that does not change functionality. It paves the way for more complex kinds of selection, such as selections involving frequency as well as time. It also reduces risk of left and right edges being swapped in future code using SelectedRegion, as the default is to swap on assignment if needed.
This is part 1...
Provides some relief to the selection "hang"
This patch adds the ability for the keyboard based commands (like cursor left,
extend selection right, etc.) to know when the key has been released.
When the patch is applied the current state is saved only when the key is
released and not every time it repeats.
Here's an example of the difference it makes.
This video show the selection "hang", but also watch the CPU usage. All I'm
doing is pressing SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW.

This one is the same thing bug with the patch applied. Notice that the
selection "hang" no longer occurs and look at the CPU usage!

This is a workaround for the portaudio issue where changing the default device in xp will corrupt the portaudio device indecies.
This combined with the portmixer fix (earlier today) should address bug 29.
Reviewed Al's patch for OnPaste (bug 177) and made these changes.
OnPaste method has grown too long and complicated:
Broke out independent sections to new HandleTextPaste and HandlePasteNothingSelected methods.
Made pastedSomething bool (now "bPastedSomething") cumulative, per Al's correction. Previously, if the last clip paste failed, it showed the whole paste failed. Clearly, the philosophy for paste has been that we take what we can get. There were numerous places (and still some) where the paste results were not even checked.
Added a couple of missing checks for bPastedSomething on paste results.
Declarations:
Made declarations clearer about public vs private methods.
Removed declarations of unused/undefined CommandManagerCallback and CommandManagerListCallback methods.
Moved mSel0save and mSel1save member vars closer to the methods that use them.
Comments about what's wrong with the DirManager::ProjectFSCK "Missing Aliased Files" dialog actions and what to do about it. (More to follow!)
Changed PushState for project repair from "Repair" to "Project Repair" to distinguish from Repair effect.
renames for clarity
2. Save user's preference for enabling linking
3. fix a bug by which changes to global prefs like SWPlaythrough were not
visually reflected in other open projects.
