I am a student in the third year i.e. the bachelor’s degree in computer science at the Science Faculty of Angers in France and for part of year I have take part in an open source project.
As a user of Audacity, I am interested in this project, so I want to participate by adding a context menu with functionnality such as copy, paste, save, save as, export, import, read, read loop, pause, mute, undo, redo …
If you have some suggestions , please don’t hesitate to let me know …
So if you are interested, I wish to programme the menu and send you my modifications as patches.
thank you for this quick reply, I’ll carefully study this link.
I thought for zoom:
By defaul the menu is active and if you press F4 you turn on the zoom and turn off the menu and if you press again F4 you turn off the zoom and turn on the menu.
Thank you again.
I published my patch, but i have no automatic response. I know that they have many mail and it’s difficult to them to read all. Have you a possibility to see if you have recieved my mail the topic is : [audacity] [TrackPanel] New Patch for popupmenu .
Very interesting.
The pop-up menu on Right Click works some of the time.
It builds OK but there’s a warning during “make”:
TrackPanel.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool TrackPanel::HandleTrackLocationMouseEvent(WaveTrack*, wxRect&, wxMouseEvent&)’:
TrackPanel.cpp:5018: warning: unused variable ‘bResult’
A couple of small issues:
For English keyboards the shortcut for “Redo” should be shift + Ctrl +Z
The keyboard shortcut for Play and Stop is the spacebar (Space), but as shown in the screenshot these are not listed.
Sometimes the pop-up does not pop-up (though if I use “left click” and then re-try the right-click it may pop up).
A more serious problem is that sometimes mouse clicks stops working altogether (left click and right click). I can’t help with that one.
I’d imagine that some users would find this feature useful, though personally I don’t think that I would use it as all of the actions are easily accomplished from the keyboard.
Making use of right click is quite a common request, but I don’t think that everyone agrees about what right click should be used for.
As a “proof of concept” this certainly works.
