... The keys are only ever used as internal identifiers in wxConfigFile
objects. So they are often space-less and camel-cased.
I have noticed a couple instances of translators confused by these.
... whenever they really describe the size of a buffer that fits in memory, or
of a block file (which is never now more than a megabyte and so could be fit in
memory all at once), or a part thereof.
... A non-narrowing conversion out to long long is a necessity, but the
conversions to float and double are simply conveniences.
Conversion from floating is explicit, to avoid unintended consequences with
arithmetic operators, when later sampleCount ceases to be an alias for an
integral type.
Some conversions are not made explicit, where I expect to change the type of
the variable later to have mere size_t width.
... And in some places where a library uses signed types, assert that
the reported number is not negative.
What led me to this, is that there are many places where a size_t value for
an allocation is the product of a number of channels and some other number.
... This makes much code agnostic about how other things (functions and
arguments) are typed.
Many of these neeed to become size_t instead of sampleCount.
Non-linear effects now process tracks before mixing.
This will be slower when multiple tracks are selected
but the preview should now match the applied effect.
SetLinearEffectFlag(true) allows linear effects to
preview more quickly when multiple tracks selected, by
pre-mixing selected tracks.
Simple generators like Tone and Noise may be marked as
'linear' so that they only preview a few seconds.
Generators that vary over time (such as Chirp) must use
the full duration that is set. As this currently
requires calculating the full duration, preview for
'non-linear' generators are not limited to the preview
length.
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.
Completes James' TimeConverter work
This completes the work that James started. It moves most of the non-GUI
related processing from TimeTextCtrl to James' TimeConverter class.
Other changes include:
1) TimeTextCtrl now expects the format name instead of the format string to be
passed when creating a new instance. I found that almost all cases created the
instance with a blank format string and then set the string after creation.
2) To simplify maintenance and prevent a possible discrepancy between the two,
Increase() and Decrease() were merged into a single routine.
As a result:
1) All cases where a TimeTextCtrl was being used to extract information and
not actually display a control have been changed to use TimeConverter instead.
2) All cases where TimeTextCtrl was being created with an empty format and
then immediately followed by something like this:
tt.SetFormatString(tt.GetBuiltinFormat(c->GetFormat()))
have been changed to pass the format name instead of the format string when
creating the TimeTextCtrl instance.
* Add missing colons to controls text in generators (outside the translatable string, so as to not break translations)
* Also right-justify "Duration" in Chirp and Tone to match other controls.
* TODOs added to possibly move colons back into the translatable string after 2.0 (per Vaughan's suggestion).
