... as a preparation for splitting up class AudacityProject.
Use ProjectWindow as an alias for AudacityProject, and fetch it from the
project with a static member function, where certain of its services are used;
pretending they are not the same class.
Use global accessor functions to get wxFrame from the project where only
wxFrame's member functions are needed, so there will be less dependency on
ProjectWindow when it becomes a distinct class.
... Rename it as SetStatus; make it part of AudacityProject not
TrackPanelListener; and use a roundabout event signalling to cause the timer
restart.
Because SetStatus will be one of very few things left in AudacityProject, but
the timer handling will be part of another class decoupled from it.
And TrackPanelListener won't really be needed: TrackPanel will not need to
pretend it doesn't know what an AudacityProject is.
... Just one low-level function to simply set the variable, and one
high-level function that also pushes notifications. The danger of infinite
recursion in the toolbar code, as in the previous commit, doesn't exist here.
... use registered factories instead, so class AudacityProject needn't know
the other classes.
This frees 9 .cpp files, related to various non-modal dialogs, to higher
levels out of the big strongly connected component, as determined by
scripts/graph.pl!
But in reality there is still link dependency on them that the script does not
detect. The remaining dependency is via the declarations of ViewMenu,
EffectMenu, etc. in Menus.cpp.
That could be broken with a registration system for menus.
... Generalizing what was first done at 280e8d9 for certain menu command
handlers.
Allow core data structures to host data attached by other code, on which it
need have no compilation or link dependencies.
... There was no reason to store the help location preferences as per-project
state. Also move the dialog for quick fixes near its only use in
HelpMenus.cpp.
This takes 22 files out of the big strongly connected component, notably
the much used lower level utilities, ErrorDialog and AudacityException.
HelpSystem itself is still in a small cycle with LinkingHtmlWindow.
... Unnecessary because transitively included.
But each .cpp file still includes its own .h file near the top to ensure
that it compiles indenendently, even if it is reincluded transitively later.
Following a lengthen discussion on the quality list, consensus is this option
should always have been off by default. The main argument for not changing
it now was that 'on' is what users have come to expect.
