These are mostly under an EXPERIMENTAL_ #ifdef. Also has a change for the prompt string for preferences so the displayed keybinding is adjusted when in multitool mode.
These are mostly for getting it to build on Linux, but I've
also created new configs in Visual Studio to make it easier
to switch between wx2 and wx3.
For Linux, you have to tell configure where to find the wx3
version of the wx-config script and, since some distros build
wxWidgets v3 against GTK+ v3, you may also need to enable
gtk3 with something like:
./configure --enable-gtk3 WX_CONFIG=/usr/bin/wx-config-3.0
On Windows, I've added "wx3-Debug" and "wx3-Release" to the
existing "Debug" and "Release" configurations.
They depend on you having your WXWIN environment variable
pointing to your wx2 directory and a new WXWIN3 environment
variable pointing to your wx3 directory. For instance, I
have:
WXWIN=C:\Users\yam\Documents\wxWidgets-2.8.13
WXWIN3=C:\Users\yam\Documents\wxWidgets-3.0.2
Doing this allows you to switch freely among the 4 configurations
without having to get out of Visual Studio and monkey around with
the environment.
The project files will also add the location of the wxWidgets DLLs
to the PATH when running Audacity from within Visual Studio. They
add %WXWIN%\lib\vc_dll or %WXWIN3%\lib\vc_dll at the beginning
of the PATH variable as appropriate.
I expect that once we convert to wx3 we'll just drop back down to
the normal Debug and Release configurations, but this should make
switching between wx2 and wx3 much easier during the transition.
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.
* Fix memory leaks.
* Add comments about initializations and checking for successful results.
* Add checks for NULL deref.
* Consistency in "TODO" vs "TO-DO" comments!
