This will incorrectly list some vocders or reaktor and the likes of
plugins with audio + midi input as Instruments IFF they also announce
effFlagsIsSynth flag.
NB. this is a first step only. we still need to override PluginInfo
Previously EditorAction and ExitorHook scripts were saved with
instant.xml. The were saved with each session and in the config
dir (for new sessions). This allowed inconsistent UI setups, especially
when loading old sessions that had no or different scripts.
Now Editor scripts (actions and hooks) are saved in a dedicated file,
session-independently. This goes along with ui_config in general
e.g. action-table-columns
The scripts are not saved with ui_config file for two reasons:
ui_config settings related to built-in ui_config_vars.h,
and in the future there may be further indirection like "ui-rc-file".
Note: previously loaded editor scripts are lost with this change.
While gnu-gcc had `std::map:at const` as non-standard extension
it is n/a for older gcc on OSX.
Surprisingly this const& p() const; performs a tad better as well, likely
due to different exception handling.
Perhaps it is also worth investigating boost::flat_map<> as replacement
for std::map<>, here. Our common case is just a single entry, so using
a std::vector emulated mapping might help.
Another micro-optmization shaving off some ten microseconds for every
plugin. Also copying maps isn't RT-safe.
This may however cause issue if const map references can change
while a plugin is running.
For plugins with 10000 Control Inputs, dynamic_pointer_cast<> overhead
is significant, here ~2msec (~0.2usec per cast, optimized build, i7-5600U,
2.60GHz)
When tooltips are disabled, but a tooltip column is set for a treeview,
the treeview selection behaves inconsistently. It requires a 3rd click
after expanding any child-rows to select a child.
When a route with a sidechain is created from a template or by route
duplication the number of ports of the sidechain are set according to the
XMLNode defining the sidechain. Then the names are set according to the name of
the newly created route.
Thus all the pin connections defined in the template are replicated in the
newly created route.
The column labels are drawn in an angle towards the edge where the row labels
are. Therefore, if the column labels are much longer than the row labels it can
happen that they go beyond the left edge. In that case we have to add an extra
width to the row labels.
When a PluginInsert is created it does not have an owner right away. That's why
a we need to set the sidechains name once the owner is known, in order to
include owner's name into the name.
Furthermore we need to follow renames of the owner.
Some plugins return 0 from effGetVstVersion and are hence not detected
as instruments. e.g. VeeSeeVSTRack (VCV). This may also explain why MIDI
port of some other VSTs are not exposed.
Most VST2.4 return 2400, so checking [effGetVstVersion] >=2 (and not 2000)
was incorrect to begin with.
VCVRack VST currently exposes 9999 automatable-control parmaters.
This slows down various GUI dropdown lists and dialogs.
(even worse: those parameters are not mapped to anything by default).
This change allows to limit automatable parameters to a reasonable number,
without loosing state of already automated parameters in existing sessions.
This fixes an issue with Mixbus. If the default "Create Audio Tracks.."
template/script is not available. Nothing is selected.
Selecting a type/template is required to update various other dialog
fields. eg. "Name" field.
Previously: Create VCA. OK+Close. Re-open dialog. Now the
implicit default was "Audio Track" but the Name-field still showed "VCA".
This is required by 7d8b93ad for showing error when actively recording.
It also prevents other UIs (OSC, Lua,..) to change re-configuring
sidechain ports/plugins while recording.
- _session cannot be NULL while the dialog is visible.
This removes extra `if (_session)` tests.
- Operations now no longer fail silently, but show error messages.
PluginPinWidgets initially receive their Session pointer by
PluginPinDialog::set_session(). When a RouteProcessorChange occurs all
PluginPinWidgets are recreated. Those newly created instances need a pointer to
the session.
