-ARDOUR TO-DO: $Id$
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-ITEMS REQUIRED FOR 1.0
-----------------------
-
-* Automation
- - must be able to apply a fade to a selected range
-* Drag handles for region/xfade curves
-
-* ensure I/O port is selected in connection dialog
-* add a small buffer near the left edge of the editor canvas to
- make mouse operations near that edge easier to get right
-* context menus everywhere
- - edit groups
- - mix groups
- - track lists
- - region list
- - click button
-
- (miscellany)
-
-* propagate name changes to equivalent regions in region list
-* destroy region removes equivalent regions from region list
-* fix edit group visibility toggle
-
-META ITEMS
-----------
-
-* there must be a manual
-
-POST 1.0 WORK
--------------
-* make region state of a playlist be position,length,layer, and save
- that for BoundsChange or Layer change.
-* automation modes (from protools):
- - relative trim
- - etc.
-* 2-step file expunge
-* allow sends/inserts and perhaps plugins to be named
-* popup a big panner
-* mix groups (adding new kinds of relationships to the groups, as per
- old ideas from tom pincince)
-* add meter range control
-* change meter tap point
-* cassowary-based constraints for edit groups
-* serializing the edit history (i have a plan for this now)
-* gtk2 port
-* like, totally rock, dude.
-* make rulers reorderable
-* set of useful click sounds
-* use snapshot mechanism to provide persistent undo/redo
- - needs better integration of automation state
- into session state.
-* duplicate-with-gap
-* panner multichannel backend code
-* select new port display when its created
-* copy/paste io configurations
-* Better temporal navigation
-* new region via plugin.
-* digital input trim.
-* possibly allow metering max-level adjustment at run-time
-* use multi-loop-take ala Samplitude/PT
-* song mode autonames for locate points
- intro, verse1, verse N, chorus, bridge, outro/tag
-* different clock display modes:
- elapsed
- remaining
- time since location start
- time till location end
-* handle missing audio sources when loading
-* option/action to snap selection to zero crossings
-* pitch shift?
-
-- Some global solo routing buttons and a sine/noise generator to
- test all the connections. Possibly a talkback input and
- control. Pretty much like the equivalent strip on a analog
- console.
-
-WAITING FOR GTK+/gtkmm 2.0:
----------------------------
-general gtkmmext::ui solution to delete_event in recursive Gtk::Main::run()
-float<->ulong conversion in a GtkAdjustment (GTK2 uses doubles)
- * fix the problems caused by range (float) limits on Locations.
-figure out how to get frames/timebars to extend to max_frames.
-
-UNDO ITEMS
-----------
-track height?
-capture?
-I/O connection state, etc.
-
-BUGS
-----
-
-initial Tempo marker can be dragged
-duplicate region names can be created automatically
-
-THREAD QUESTIONS
-----------------
- - which thread should:
- - change playlists on a diskstream?
- - change diskstreams on a track? (we don't support that in the UI)
-
- - can we reliably construct a copy of the RT state, instead of
- using locks everywhere?
-
-NOTES FROM THE MAILING LISTS
-----------------------------
-
--- gerard --
-
-Region gain has some bugs. They dissappear when trimming. Don't always
-playback correctly.
-
-I had some strange things with a chunk where the last region seemed to use
-the audio file as a peakfile. It played back correctly, but it showed up
-frames_per_peak too large.
-
--- gerard2 ---
-
-Automation.
-I see that automation editing is in the TODO. How about the whole deal:
-Changing it during aplay. relative or absolute, latch (is that the word) or
-momentary override etc
-Is this for >1.0 ? It is not that important for me but maybe for some
-folks...
-
-Better metering configurability. Post/pre etc.
-
-Gui interface consistency.
-
-more keyboard shortcuts for f.i. (are they hard to add?):
- -arrow keys to move selection from region to region
- -seperate region. This one can be the same for split region, if there is
- a range selected seperate, if not split.
-
-
-Should playhead also snap to grid?
-
-Adding/removing snapshots through snapshot pane.
-
-I would prefer to move the pre and post roll adjustments to the options
-menu, and have a start/end/duration of selection clocks.
-
-A way to deal with misbehaving plugins. They shouldn't be able to freeze
-ardour.
-
-What is the current (and planned) edit-group functionality? It doesn't seem
-to much.
-
------
-
-make use of transients a run-time option
-panning for export
-
-mute automation event
-
-region length/end editor clocks don't modify position
-
-should we allow N-channels regions to be inserted into non-N-channel routes?
-
-auto-crossfades are unreliable/hard to predict/confusing
-reset declick curves when doing a region copy (only if auto-crossfading?)
-
-audio clock editing
- - make drag work again
- - use tick field
-
-post fader plug/inserts get into a very inconsistent state wrt active/not active
-mixer strip widths are not persistent across state save/restore
-automation-read updates in mixer-strip in editor
-don't initiate MIDI binding if there is no MMC control
-export to audiofile
- - exports tracks not marked for export (?)
- - contains clicks/pops even with no SRC/dither (FIXED?)
-
-timefx region length error (check back with audacity crew)
-send gain control is clicky.
-some regionview names don't seem sensitive to canvas events
-splice mode needs to work correctly all the time, at the right times
-removing a port then adding a new one can cause duplicate names
-plugin automation buttons don't update from a plugin signal
-how to handle multichannel selections
-apparently selected location on startup of locations window, or
- when creating new location from selection is *not* selected
-source/region naming/region list display
-
-LONG TERM CHECKING
-------------------
-RT-ness of all RT-thread STL usage
-
-GUI DETAILS
------------
-Use mouse wheel events (button4/5)
-Remove regions from region list
-Some location window ops need dbl click, some don't
-
-
-CHROME
-------
-make prompters look nicer still.
-make ladspa plugin selector look nicer
-don't popup "no group" when there are no groups (mixer strip).
-fix bug in Gtkmmext with wrapping on Gtkmmext::ClickBox
-make region editors look nicer
-region editor audition button doesn't pop up after audition is finished
-allow same color for all streamviews
-
-AUDIO STREAM
-------------
-
-[ These are JACK TODO's ]
-
-* need to ensure that cards like the Hammerfall are really set
- to the correct sample rate when connected to an external
- clock source.
-* ::connect_to_session() should indicate a problem if the
- sample rate is wrong ....
-
-MIDI Machine Control
------------------------
-
-* handle stupid Mackie TC buttons
-* send MMC rec-enable messages
-* allow control (MMC/Local) selection to work
-* make sure that MMC ID works
-
-EDITOR, etc.
-------------
-
-* "use location to define selection"
