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
... See commit 3b90538b84 which removed the
only use of the untranslated strings.
Also follows better i18n guidelines for composing the VSTEffect description.
- Dead code from experiments in SelectionBar removed.
- Many warnings about unused parameters fixed with WXUNUSED()
- Many warnings about signed / unsigned comparisons cleaned up.
- Several 'local variable declared but not used' warnings fixed.
... 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.
... 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.
This enhancement allows the User to set 'Ratio' to a between 1.1 and 10, with 0.1 precision.
Formerly, the minimum was 1.5, and the smallest increment was 0.5.
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.
He wanted to help so I asked if he wanted to track them down. He agreed and
found more than I probably would have. And he said there were more, but the
rest were questionable and since he works on Windows, wasn't able to actually
test.
I give a few of the ones he did find a go and they do indeed get rid of the
assertions.
(Basically, a 64-bit/32-bit issue, easily resolved with a typecast.)

Patch by Steve Daulton alters the UI strings but leaves variable naming alone. Provides backwards compatibility with old chains via a string substitution - to come out in time.
