Main features: Plugin (Select & Edit)
1. Plugin Select: When a track is selected that has PluginInserts, pushing the "Plug-In" button on a mackie will list these across the strips. Clicking a vpot of a strip enables editing the parameters of this selected plugin.
2. Plugin Edit: When a Plugin is selected for editing, the input parameters of the plugin are shown across the channel strips and the vpot is assigned the corresponsing AutomationControl for the parameter.
Minor features
- When the number of plugins or the number of parameters exceeds the number of strips available on the surface, one can flip through "pages" of views using the Cursor Left and Right keys (this logic I took from http://www.emagic.de/media/support/content/manuals/LogicControl_en.pdf)
- When in the Plugin Select mode, rearranging the plugins in the mixer strip is reflected on the surface.
- When in Plugin Edit mode, rearranging the plugins in the mixer strip still retains the edit view of the selected plugin (rearranging does not take away the current subview)
- When removing a plugin in the mixer strip, this is reflected in Plugin Select, while the view jumps to Pan/Surround (the None subview) when in Plugin Edit mode.
- Removing a track resets the subview to None
- When in a Subview that is track-specific (Track, EQ, Send, Plug-In, Inst), selecting a different track retains the subview but updates the channel displays and vpot assignments accordingly. When in Plugin Edit mode for track A, and track B is selected, it changes to Plugin Select mode for track B (if plugins are present).
Only compare playback latency, delaylines in tracks do not
push back the capture latency to the source.
The delayline on tracks sits in between disk-writer and disk-reader,
delaying input to align with the disk-reader.
Furthermore tracks may be connected to different inputs,
even though those inputs are usually from the same hardware
device, capture latency of those ports can differ.
ldd may not print errors to stderr (Debian GLIBC 2.28-10 doesn't),
and hence the current check did nothing on debian and derivative
systems. While on other GNU/Linux distros (e.g. openSuSe),
other errors do show up (e.g. checking session-utils shell script
-> "not a dynamic executable")
This explicitly checks for missing libraries hopefully in a
distro independent way.
Ardour5 route templates seem not to have a in the root node playlist
property. Ardour generally relies on that Track::playlist() always returns a
valid playlist. Thus we need to create a playlist even if we don't have a
playlist property in the route template's root node.
... on Ardour5.
On MacOS g_dir_make_tmp() does not return the canonical path. Thus, exported
template archives end up with wrong entry paths. This has been fixed by
e52bdc55ad for exporting templates. However, template archives that have been
exported on Ardour5 are not affected by the fix. Therefor we need a workaround
for the case we are importing legacy template archives from Ardour5.
This is needed primarily for a workaround for #7971. When importing a template
that has been exported on Ardour5 on MacOS we need to fix the paths of the
archive entries.
Later we can use this functionality also to handle imported templates if
templates with the same name already exist.
This commit only adds methods and members to FileArchive, it does not modify
anything to make regressions unlikely. This, however, leads to some duplicated
code. Eventually we should consolidate this a bit.
This reverts commit fdf0db02a0.
Even though `gdk_pixmap_unref` is deprecated, it is the correct way
to free `gdk_pixmap_new` objects.
This fixes a memory leak and glib warning:
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
PS. Eventually this pixmap should be replaced by a cairo surface.
By default Apple uses a private TMP folder.
g_dir_make_tmp() returns `/var/folders/...` while the real
absolute path is `/private/var/folders/...`.
This caused a problem when the tmp-prefix is chopped off when building
the archive.
