[Audacity-devel] GUI support for VST committed

[Leland <le...@au...>]

I just committed the resurrected GUI support for VST effects.  This time 
it's using the VeSTige VST header.

I'm sure there will be issues found since there are MANY VST effects in 
the wild, so we might have to tweak it here and there.  I was also 
hoping folks could give it a try and give feedback on layout and such.

I have an option to add to Preferences that disables the GUI and falls 
back to a plain text based dialog.  Doing this will allow us to get rid 
of the vst-bridge, while still leaving an option for VI users.

Please note that this is not VSTGUI support.  That's a different animal 
and is not needed by a VST host.

The effects are looked for in the Audacity "VST", "plugins", and 
"plug-ins" directories.

On the Mac, /Users/<user>/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST and 
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST are also searched.

On Windows, registry key HKLM\Software\VST\VSTPluginsPath is also searched.

Holler if you find something that's broken...
