view i18n/tips_en.xml @ 439:6d5ee6860682 toggle
Add a new feature to allow users to toggle between minimal and full modes. This is done by hiding/showing the pane stack, menu actions, and toolbars. The main part of the process is handled in MainWindow::toggleViewMode(). The toggle view mode option appears in the View Menu and is associated with a new toolbar button. Two icons have been added in the resources. They come from: http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/42115/32/
In a working state, but the resizing of the main window and the audio file overview can be improved. Some menus or menu actions can be deleted/disabled in the minimal mode (although the changes are active in the hidden pane(s) and do not cause the application to crash). See TO-DO list in MainWindow::toggleViewMode().
In sonic-visualiser.pro: -lvamp-hostsdk has been added to the LIBS (the sonic-visualiser.pro file may be to be removed from the tracked files since the modification seems to depend on the system).

To begin with, you have one pane. Import an audio file to see it displayed in a waveform layer on that pane.</p> </html> </tip> <tip> <html> <p>Each pane can contain any number of layers, which appear stacked from "front" to "back" on the same timeline. A layer can contain a view of audio, or of points (time instants) or data plots (time-values).</p> </html> </tip> <tip> <html> <p>There's a "layer property box" to the right of each pane, with one tab for each of the layers on that pane. Click on a layer's tab to bring that layer to the front. You can then adjust its colour and other display properties in the property box. The first tab is always for the pane itself, which has a few adjustable properties of its own.</p> </html> </tip> <tip> <html> <p>If you have more than one pane, only one of them will be "current", marked with a black bar at the left side. Just click on another pane to make it current. Most editing operations affect the layer that's at the front of the current pane.</p> </html> </tip> <tip> <html> <p>You can use different zoom levels for different panes by un-checking the Global Zoom control for one of them. By default, all panes will zoom and scroll together.</p> </html> </tip> <tip> <html> <p>You can speed up and slow down playback using the Playback Speedup control in the bottom-right of the window.</p> </html> </tip> <tip> <html> <p>The Transforms menu lists things you can do to extract features from or process your audio. The available outputs of any Vamp feature-extraction plugins or LADSPA audio effects plugins you have will show up here.</p> </html> </tip> </tips>
