Added a setting for whether labels can be created by typing in a label track.
The setting can be changed in either the Tracks menu, or the Tracks category in Preferences.
By default the setting is set to on.
The two commands are "selection to next label" and "selection to previous label".
They have default shortcuts alt+right and alt+left.
A label track does not have to be the focus. If there is a single label track in the project, that it used. If there is more than one label track, then the first label track, if any, starting at the focused track is used.
If the commands are used during playback of the project, playback continues from the new cursor/selection.
The commands provide feedback to screen readers: the name of the label, and position in the form of "i of n".
... This poor imitation of the standard Mac Window menu only includes
Minimize and Zoom.
But this may be adequate for the complaints in Bug1198, when the yellow title
bar button is hidden and unreachable.
... Less need now to make it more discoverable, because we override an "off"
setting during transport with a pinned play head, thus removing some
inconsistency and confusion.
... Start scrub by click or double click on the scrub head; release button or
not; then move.
If you release before moving, you get scrubbing as before, controlled by
motion. Click or drag to switch in and out of seeking. Stop with ESC,
spacebar, etc. No change of selection.
But now if you drag, then scrubbing contines until you release the mouse or
otherwise stop with a key.
If by release of the mouse, then the selection changes as if by a click at
the last play position. If you hold shift, then, as if by shift-click.
If drag begins with a double-click, then the play head remains centered and
the track moves.
... This includes new always-seeking modes unlike scrubbing which can switch
to seeking and back according to the left mouse button state.
The reason for this is that visually impaired users should not be required to
click with the mouse in the track panel window to signal seeking. But mouse
movements can still control scrubbing, because we poll the global mouse
position in the timer, not relying on events from any window object.
It had been causing problems in Unity for a while now and they
were missing on OSX as well in wx3. So, the old menu Open/Close
method of hiding has been removed and replaced with an event
filter/monitor which looks for wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events to pass
key events to the handler that has the keyboard captured.
... miscellaneous direct uses of ZoomInfo::zoom to test and set zoom level.
This includes all the remaining assignments to it.
But moving TrackInfo::PositionToTime and TrackInfo::TimeToPosition into
ZoomInfo and using them is needed to eliminate many more uses.
Also #if'd out the unused AudacityProject::OnZoomToggle().
On a reset preferences, this adds the default built in effects only. The effects menu now has a 'More...' as its last item, and the list of plugins is invoked there. We can add from that list to the menus from that.
This captures crashes on Windows along with the stack backtrace.
On Linux (fedora 21 at least), the necessary function to enable
capture is not included in the system wx libs. But, a self built
version works fine and capture the backtrace, so I'm assuming
other distros will probably work as well.
On OSX, the crashes are caught, but it does not include the
backtrace.
But, really, the backtraces aren't all that useful in a release
build since we don't ship with debug symbols and optimization
plays havoc with proper backtraces anyway.
The real benefit will be for the support folks as they can now
get consistent info from user by asking the to generate a report
from the "Help->Generate Support Data" menu item.
This brings the builtin, LV2, and VAMP effects inline with the
Audio Units, LADSPA, and VST effects. All effects now share
a common UI.
This gives all effects (though not implemented for all):
User and factory preset capability
Preset import/export capability
Shared or private configuration options
Builtin effects can now be migrated to RTP, depending on algorithm.
LV2 effects now support graphical interfaces if the plugin supplies one.
Nyquist prompt enhanced to provide some features of the Nyquist Workbench.
It may not look like it, but this was a LOT of work, so trust me, there
WILL be problems and everything effect related should be suspect. Keep
a sharp eye (or two) open.
* Loop play-at-speed and cut preview play-at-speed implemented.
* Shift or ctrl down now affect all relevant buttons, loop or cut preview, normal or at speed, and append-record.
With realtime preview, the keyboard user will need this to get
back and forth between the effect and the project window. Actualy,
the "problem" existed before this since the keyboard user couldn't
switch between project and Plot Spectrum windows.
The normal flags-based keyboard handling would not work since it
depends on the state of the project and requires a project window
to have the current focus.
In this new case, a modeless dialog may actually have the focus and
using the "switch window" key combo may happen in nearly any mode, like
while playing.
So, I "created" the concept of "meta" commands...ones that do not have
the restrictions mentioned above. The should be used sparingly and
you must be careful about what happens within their handlers.
I've added some of the new plugin stuff to LV2, Nyquist, and
Vamp so that they play better in the new system. They no
longer get bunched in with the Audacity effects when sorting
or grouping the menus. They have not been fully converted
but they should be good for 2.1.0.
Nyquist plugins now include ";author" and ";copyright"
statements.
Added the 4 new Nyquist plugins to the Windows build.
Audiounits are still coming...had to push them to the back
burner to get this other stuff out of the way.
Scanning for new plugins has been improved so that newly
discovered ones will be shown to the user when Audacity starts.
Effects menu sorting has been fixed and improved.
Disabling effect types in Preferences works again and you
no longer have to restart Audacity for them the change to work.
Effect usage in chains works again.
Plugin registration dialog code simplified a bit.
Group names in the pluginregistry are now base64 encoded. I
never really thought about it, but wxFileConfig group names
are case insensitive and since I was using the group name as
the plugin ID, I ran into a conflict on Linux where there
were two plugins with the same name, just different case. (And
they were different plugins.) Hoping all of this will change
when/if the config file gets converted to XML. (wx3 if finally
including XML support)
A fair amount of cleanup of this new code has been done and
will continue as more stuff is converted.
Current options:
Publisher: name (the closest to what we have now)
Name (doesn't include the publisher, just a straigt up alpha sort
Publisher (creates submenus based on the publisher)
Type (creates submenus based on the type, VST, Nyquist, etc.)
And the Linux method of creating submenus based on number of items
is available to all and you can choose how menu you want per submenu.
I had to bring this back since I'd removed it when for the new effects
and I figured why limit it to only Linux...
Check it out in Preferences (effect page).
You'll also notice that the effects page is starting to talk about
plugins. That will progress further (baby steps) so bare with me
for just a bit more.
