[Audacity-devel] Bug in scripting command interface versus NyQuist

[Stephen G. P. <sg...@ma...>]

Hi,
I am trying to fix a bug with the scripting command interface - it's not
honouring defaults currently. Part of the problem lies in the
Shuttle::TransferString() method. Currently for mbStoreInClient mode the
method always returns true - which means you can't tell if a parameter
has actually been found in the parameter string or not. I want it to
return true if the parameter is present but false if not. The only other
code that uses the return value is the NyQuist code, which checks the
return value, even though currently it is meaningless. Anyone know the
NyQuist code well enough to say whether or not I can safely repair the
semantics of the return value please?

ITMW I'll check the history. If needs be, I'll rewrite the code entirely.

Thanks
Stephen Parry
