This change is inspired by the plan to eliminate GetLinked() in 2.3.1. Logically we shouldn't be exposing a boolean 'linked' in scripting, but instead a channel count.
... This commit leaves at least a comment for all choice controls of all
built-in effects and commands.
Use CamelCase with no spaces for the internal identifiers, given in
wxT("...")
Use more idiomatic English with spaces in the user-visible names, given in
XO("..."); these strings go to the message catalog for internationalization
Do not use underscores
In case these strings are the same, give it just once in XO("..."), but if in
a future version it is decided to change the name in XO("..."), then the
original should be kept also in a distinct wxT("...") string, so that
saved configuration or plugin settings or macro files don't become gratuitously
incompatible just because of that user-visible name change.
Left TruncateSilence alone for now -- I think that choice demands a rewrite
as a slider instead.
... The "Set" prompt for checkboxes;
Strings in Choice controls, which had been declared translatable with XO, but
the translations not yet used.
This can be tested in Ukrainian locale now, for editing parameters of
commands like Select or Drag, but be aware that even uk.po is not up to date
for all recent changes in the Manage Macros dialog itself.
This is a squash of 50 commits.
This merges the capabilities of BatchCommands and Effects using a new
AudacityCommand class. AudacityCommand provides one function to specify the
parameters, and then we leverage that one function in automation, whether by chains,
mod-script-pipe or (future) Nyquist.
- Now have AudacityCommand which is using the same mechanism as Effect
- Has configurable parameters
- Has data-entry GUI (built using shuttle GUI)
- Registers with PluginManager.
- Menu commands now provided in chains, and to python batch.
- Tested with Zoom Toggle.
- ShuttleParams now can set, get, set defaults, validate and specify
the parameters.
- Bugfix: Don't overwrite values with defaults first time out.
- Add DefineParams function for all built-in effects.
- Extend CommandContext to carry output channels for results.
We abuse EffectsManager. It handles both Effects and
AudacityCommands now. In time an Effect should become a special case of
AudacityCommand and we'll split and rename the EffectManager class.
- Don't use 'default' as a parameter name.
- Massive renaming for CommandDefinitionInterface
- EffectIdentInterface becomes EffectDefinitionInterface
- EffectAutomationParameters becomes CommandAutomationParameters
- PluginType is now a bit field.
This way we can search for related types at the same time.
- Most old batch commands made into AudacityCommands.
The ones that weren't are for a reason. They are used by mod-script-pipe
to carry commands and responses across from a non-GUI thread to the GUI
thread.
- Major tidy up of ScreenshotCommand
- Reworking of SelectCommand
- GetPreferenceCommand and SetPreferenceCommand
- GetTrackInfo and SetTrackInfo
- GetInfoCommand
- Help, Open, Save, Import and Export commands.
- Removed obsolete commands ExecMenu, GetProjectInfo and SetProjectInfo
which are now better handled by other commands.
- JSONify "GetInfo: Commands" output, i.e. commas in the right places.
- General work on better Doxygen.
- Lyrics -> LyricsPanel
- Meter -> MeterPanel
- Updated Linux makefile.
- Scripting commands added into Extra menu.
- Distinct names for previously duplicated find-clipping parameters.
- Fixed longstanding error with erroneous status field number which
previously caused an ASSERT in debug.
- Sensible formatting of numbers in Chains, 0.1 not 0.1000000000137
