... except Audacity.h
This forces us to make each header contain all forward declarations or nested
headers that it requires, rather than depend on context.
... except Audacity.h; and in no others.
Do so even if Experimental.h gets multiply included, as in both the .h and
.cpp files.
This makes it easier to do a text scan to be sure there are no unintended quiet
changes of meaning because of omission of Experimental.h when the flag is
an enabled one.
Also move inclusions of Experimental.h earlier.
Also don't require Experimental.h to be preceded by Audacity.h to define
EXPERIMENTAL_MIDI_OUT correctly.
... for wxString and wxArrayStringEx, holding file paths (absolute or relative,
directory or plain file); to be replaced later with different types
(not yet using std::vector, becase of some uses of wxArrayString::Index with
two arguments)
... Remove all uses of the three-valued Cmp comparison member function, which
returns 0 for equality, except in one place. Use operators == and != instead.
(C++20's spaceship operator hasn't landed here yet!)
... Replacing:
Insert => insert
RemoveAt => erase
Remove => erase
IsSameAs => operator == or operator !=
(but only when second argument was true or default)
... instead use the utility make_iterator_range and its index() or contains()
method. This generic utility works with any container defining begin() and
end().
This further lessens dependency on wxWidgets container idioms.
... which will make it easier to change the types of those containers to
std::vectors of other string-like classes
for wxString,
IsEmpty => empty
Clear => clear
Alloc => reserve
for wxArrayString,
Count => size
GetCount => size
IsEmpty => empty
Add => push_back
Clear => clear
Empty => clear
Sort => std::sort (only with default comparator)
SetCount => resize
Last => back
Item => operator []
Alloc => reserve
It combines the old IdentInterface with the ParamsInterface, providing an identifier and parameters (if needed).
The main purpose of the change is to make the class hierarchy (as viewed via doxygen) much easier to follow.
... This was motivated by punch and roll recording: it appears most convenient
to pin the head for recording purposes, and drag it near the right, but when
stopping and finding the splice point for the correction, it is better to
scrub unpinned.
The pin and its position can be set directly from the ruler, which is always visible. Displaying the pin/unpinned state and pin position is probably a bit like displaying the toolbar visibility states and positions in prefs - overload of settings that are easier set another way. I've hidden them for now. We should probably come up with a policy as to what prefs should be shown in prefs and what should not.
MixerBoard, LyricsWindow, Screenshot and most effects are now LTR in RTL locales.
Also added a pref so this can be overridden. As RTL affects window creation, the language choice and this preference may only fully take effect after a restart of Audacity.
This adds a new preference to Playback prefs, VariSpeedPlay, on by default, which makes it possible to vary the playback speed slider whilst audio is playing using play at speed. The code uses the Scrubbing playback engine.
This code is not final, but is already useful. Known issues:
1- Playback does not stop and pop-up the Play at Speed button at the end of playing the selection.
2- The scrub widget shows uselessly on the scrub ruler when in Play at Speed mode and the status bar proclaims 'Scrubbing'.
3- At low speeds the playback is clicky, with VariSpeedPlay, even if no changes to speed are being made.
If we can't fix both 1 and 2 by 2.3.0 release time, VariSpeedPlay will be made false by default.
We were for example getting many of these:
\audacity\src\widgets\numerictextctrl.h(171): warning C4458: declaration of 'value' hides class member
MSVC2013 didn't warn about these, but MSVC2017 does.
This was caused by my commit: f9ee3cdc45ab3c5530505daa119ef01ccfdcc262
When void KeyConfigPrefs::PopulateOrExchange(ShuttleGui & S) is called for the purposes of GetInfo, the pointers to the radio buttons are null, so need to check for this before calls to SetAccessible.
Motivation:
1. The text boxes in the label track are not fully accessible for users of screen readers, and I don't think that they can be made to be fully accessible using the accessibility API used by wxWidgets. When such an edit box becomes the focus, this is not announced, and for NVDA users typed characters are not echoed.
2. Provides a work around for bugs 1778 (cannot type diacritics into text label), and 1804 (Windows: Labels do not accept IME (Chinese/Japanese) input).
Fix: Provide an option for a dialog for entering the name. The text box in the dialog is accessible for screen readers. On windows the text box receives wm_keydown and wm_char messages and so is a work around for bug 1804. Being a standard text box, it will presumably be a work around for bug 1778.
1. There is a new option in track behaviors: "Use dialog for the name of new label", which is off by default.
2. When using the commands "Add label at selection" and "Add label at playback position", when the dialog closes, focus is returned to the track which was the focus before the dialog opened. I think this is more convenient for users of screen readers.
Prefs dialog can now be more compact, but the tree control gains scrollers which look poor. So a height of at least 480px, if no height was set by the user, is used. This way also the key config prefs have reasonable height.
Doesn't set the min size. On small screens, users can scrunch the dialog up tightly if they really want to.
