New plug-in: Tone Generator

[edgar-rft]

The Debug window appears every time the plug-in is run, irrespective of whether Debug is clicked or not. Is this intentional?

No, not intentional, I think that may be a new bug in Audacity.

Yes, it'a bug in the Audacity Nyquist interface (at least in Audacity_1.3.13-alpha). It doesn't only appear with the "Tone Generator" but with all Nyquist plugins (generate, effect, analyze).

In the file "src/effects/nyquist/Nyquist.cpp" [same file as usual] at the end of the function "Process()" around line 610, you'll find the following code fragment:

Code: Select all

   this->ReplaceProcessedTracks(success);

   //mDebug = false;    // <- uncomment this line

   return success;
}                       // <- end of function Process()

Remove the "//" before "mDebug = false;" and make the code look like this:

Code: Select all

   this->ReplaceProcessedTracks(success);

   mDebug = false;

   return success;
}

Then re-compile Audacity. Now the debug window only appears if you press "Debug", and not with "OK" any longer. I still haven't tested if this has unwanted side-effects with the ";debugflags" plugin header line or the Nyquist Workbench.

I first will search for the unicode filename problems later on before I send a patch to the Audacity developers list.

Minor update to the plug-in. Mostly correcting typos in the help screens but also some bug fixes in the error checking code. No functional changes.

Updated description in the original post to indicate that it is more likely to be of interest to people that are interested in experimenting with Nyquist rather than for general production work.

Rather late for me to comment, but this bug is now fixed (fixed a long time ago).
