I've made it where you can enable and disable via experimentals:
EXPERIMENTAL_REALTIME_EFFECTS
EXPERIMENTAL_EFFECTS_RACK
You will notice that, as of now, the only effects currently set up for
realtime are VSTs. Now that this is in, I will start converting the
rest.
As I start to convert the effects, the astute of you may notice that
they no longer directly access tracks or any "internal" Audacity
objects. This isolates the effects from changes in Audacity and makes
it much easier to add new ones.
Anyway, all 3 platforms can now display VST effects in graphical mode.
Yes, that means Linux too. There are quite a few VSTs for Linux if
you search for them.
The so-called "rack" definitely needs some discussion, work, and attention
from someone much better at graphics than me. I'm not really sure it should
stay in as-is. I'd originally planned for it to be simply a utility window
where you can store your (preconfigured) favorite effects. It should probably
revert back to that idea.
You may notice that this DOES include the API work I did. The realtime effects
were too tied to it and I didn't want to redo the whole thing. As I mentioned
elsewhere, the API stuff may or may not be very future proof.
So, let the critter complaints commence. I absolute KNOW there will be some.
(I know I'll be hearing from the Linux peeps pretty darn quickly. ;-))
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.
* Fix memory leaks.
* Add comments about initializations and checking for successful results.
* Add checks for NULL deref.
* Consistency in "TODO" vs "TO-DO" comments!
* /ExtendedImport/OverrideExtendedImportByOpenFileDialogChoice preference enables the override (backward-compatibel behaviour), and it is now false by default
* File names (and mime types) and patterns are Lower()'ed before being fed to wxMatchWild(), now matching should be case-insensitive
* Now empty rule elements (empty list of extensions, empty list of mime types) will match anything (just as if they had one "*" element)
* "Extended Import" preferences tab is now next to "Import/Export" tab
* Preferences now use Grid class (the one used in Tag editor) instead of default wxGrid. Tabbing now works correctly.
* First attempt to add Drag'n'Drop re-ordering for Rule table. Seems to be working.
* Cleaned up a couple of cruft code comments.
* Separate buttons (with hotkeys) for moving rules and filters up and down (ctrl+up/down still works)
* Moved some code into helper funcions (can be called from both button and keyboard event handlers)
* Grid is now configured in PopulateOrExchange (the same way it is in Tags.cpp)
* Keep selection while moving table rows and list items
* Detect trailing/leading spaces in rule condition and offer to trim them
