I added a "Font..." item to the label track menu that lets you choose the font (from any of the fonts installed on your system, not just the standard wx five). I also added basic printing support - currently it just scales the entire project to fit on one page, preserving the proportional spacing between tracks. It makes the track background white instead of gray and doesn't display any UI elements Basically just the track data, plus a ruler at the top. In the CVS HEAD, this requires adding the new source file Printing.cpp to the project, but in the 1.2 branch, I just hacked it right into Menus.cpp. Later I'm imagining adding a dialog allowing the user to control the number of pages to print, either by typing a number of pages, or by choosing the number of seconds of audio to display per page. Any other ideas on how printing could work? Both of these features were requested by a guest at the Audacity party, for use in linguistic transcription work. - Dominic |

Any other > ideas on how printing could work? As it is required mainly for transcription, value of scale should be OK for printing label track as is. This should be point of start, I guess. Usually university people print transcriptions/pitch data from apps like CoolEdit to paper roll, not to A4/Letter/whatever. Thus calculating amount of pages in this case isn't really neccesary, to my POV. > Both of these features were requested by a guest at the Audacity party, > for use in linguistic transcription work. I remember myself posting a letter about it as well :) Alexandre |

Hello again everyone, sorry I havnt been around much, eye problems have kept me away from the computer. I was just testing 1.2.2 and I see the track/pan sliders are still set up with 3db increments and unintended initial movement of the slider unless you click exactly on its current position. Now I know the 3db problem can be cured by holding down shift, but even so this slider behavior is no good for fine adjustment IMO. Ive attached code which makes the same slider changes I submitted to this list before, but is optional. ie unless you turn on the "Enable Accurate Sliders" option the sliders still behave as they used to. Hope this is useful. I made these changes to the 1.2.2pre source which I got from the web page. Cheers Tim |
