Since we don't actually change the locale when we change languages,
we can't use whatever is defined in the locale for the decimal and
thousands separator.
This is because standard library functions are used to format and
parse numbers and since these library functions use whatever is
set for the current locale, we can use comma for the fraction
separator or the period for the thousands separator.
When requesting The icon size (under Gnome at least), the size was
overly large, so use the wxMac method and just estimate what it
will be.
And, limit the column widths so the dialog doesn't grow wider than
the screen width.
Since the socket file is meant to be local machine only, putting
it on a network share can fail. In a multi-user environment, the user's
home direcotry could easily be on a network disk. In most cases, the
temp directory will be on local disk.
The residual issue is lower priority and still at bug 950. I removed the non functional prefs. Other changes mean that they are no longer needed.
The residual issue is that it could be nice to have a way to filter for new plugins.
Non-linear effects now process tracks before mixing.
This will be slower when multiple tracks are selected
but the preview should now match the applied effect.
SetLinearEffectFlag(true) allows linear effects to
preview more quickly when multiple tracks selected, by
pre-mixing selected tracks.
Simple generators like Tone and Noise may be marked as
'linear' so that they only preview a few seconds.
Generators that vary over time (such as Chirp) must use
the full duration that is set. As this currently
requires calculating the full duration, preview for
'non-linear' generators are not limited to the preview
length.
Fix for a rounding bug that causes the OK button to be sometimes greyed out. The bug may be Linux only (not tested on other platforms) but should not adversely affect other OS's.
This adds radio buttons to view all effects, just unregistered effects (effects that are not yet in the menus) or just registered effects (effects that are in the menus. It remembers ticks and unticks until the dialog is closed, so changes to ticks for effects that are not shown by the current filter will still have an effect. It does this by switching back to show-all just before closing the dialog.
