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
... it's either the source of the connection that is being destroyed, or other
object (such as an ancestor window) transitively owning it and so causing it to
be destroyed too;
or, the sink is being destroyed, and that sink is a wxEvtHandler (which is
always so for Disconnect, though not for Unbind in case Bind was passed a
member function of a non-wxEvtHandler).
wxWidgets takes care of erasing the connection in such cases.
This removes most calls to Disconnect and Unbind. Many destructors shrank to
nothing.
Notably, in case of popup menu handling, the call to Disconnect is not removable
because the object being destroyed is neither the source nor the sink.
... But perhaps we are developing the means to relax even this ban safely.
For instance, why not undo a mistaken AddLabelPlaying command (Ctrl+M) without
stopping the recording?
1) When the program detects this, insert zeroes into the recording to keep the
other good parts synchronized.
2) When recording stops, a message box alerts the user, and a label track is
added showing the lost parts, labelled with consecutive numbers.
3) A menu item visible in alpha builds only is added to Tools, to simulate
recording errors at random times and test the reporting feature.
... But perhaps we are developing the means to relax even this ban safely.
For instance, why not undo a mistaken AddLabelPlaying command (Ctrl+M) without
stopping the recording?
... This even makes it possible to remove the prohibition of undo and redo
during transport, not that we want to though. Playback and recording will
continue, using track objects that might not be in the current project.
Added preferences for Zoom-Toggle and put into menus.
New helper functions for determining zoom scaling.
Optional EXPERIMENTAL_ZOOM_TOGGLE_BUTTON added, and Light theme updated.
Not enabled for 2.2.2.
... Avoid small out-of-context words and phrases in translation catalog that
are then substituted into larger translated phrases with blanks.
(What if my language has declensions? How do I know the right form to use
for the phrases?)
Instead, give the translators larger in-context phrases to work with, even if
that requires replications of phrases with small variations.
