ToDo - Plan for P1/P2 clean-up for 2.0.6

P1s

 * Effect Menu Support for LV2 has been added on all three platforms, so must be documented.


 * Customization Need to add LV2 plug-ins here.


 * FAQ:Installation and Plug-Ins LV2 and VAMP ought to be mentioned here, LV2 is definitely a P1.


 * Index of Effects, Generators and Analyzers "Classic Filters" to be added to the table - left for Gale, as he is the most skilled at this table update.


 * FAQ:Recording - How To's (now) redundant alert ?


 * Classic Filters requires extensive review - it almost certainly requires input, in the form of editorial review, from the effect's author

New Hosts
Not yet listed as P1s there remains the issue if whether:
 * WDM-KS will remain in the 2.0.6 release
 * Peter 21Nov13: Gale asserts in an ednote in the Wiki that WDK-MS will not form part of 2.0.6 (I presume marked "Experimental")
 * WASAPI full functionality retained - or reversion to loopback only

The following pages currently have P2s associated with WDM-KS / WASAPI that my become P1s:
 * Glossary
 * Device Toolbar
 * Devices Preferences
 * Tutorial - Selecting Your Input
 * Tutorial - Recording Computer Playback on Windows

Wiki P1 Placeholders
All three require images updating with the new "Snap To" GUI. But this can only be done after 2.0.6 release
 * Overdubbing with a Shure® X2U Microphone Amplifier-USB Adapter
 * Overdubbing with a Behringer® UCA202 Stereo bidirectional USB Sound Card
 * Overdubbing with a Samson® G-Track USB Microphone

P2s that may block a release

 * Truncate Silence: This needs some work as it is not quite accurate atm. What needs changing depends on whether the recent patches are applied.


 * Mixing Audio Tracks: There is no mention here or in Tracks Menu of how render handles white space before the audio begins or audio before zero. Should there be? Current behaviour following r11248 is to preserve the clip length by no longer rendering white space between time zero and first audio as silence, and to preserve audio before time zero instead of discarding it. So people who want to export tracks with silent lead-ins preserved now have to generate silence after rendering. I think that tip at least should be in this page.


 * FAQ:Recording - Troubleshooting: This probably wants "pausing" split into a separate FAQ and the formatting improved.


 * Help Menu "Run Benchmark" is in release builds so ought ideally to have more documentation.


 * Track Drop-Down Menu: accuracy comment from Steve - needs checking


 * Tutorial - Recording Computer Playback on Windows: Review WASAPI loopback changes - they may need expanding.


 * Tutorial - Making Ringtones: Gale 23Dec13: This tutorial was imported from Wiki but not completely updated for 2.x. I've fixed several issues but it needs reviewing properly.


 * Classic Filters: Steve 5Nov13: Should be "cut-off" according to Connie, but the GUI says "cutoff"


 * Tutorial - Mixing a Narration With Background Music: We've been asked several times by readers of this tutorial what to do if you need to record the narration while listening to another track.
 * Peter 18Feb01: Subject to review this may have been fixed by the note div that Bill added yesterday.

Resolved subject to review
These items have had the work done but require a final editorial review to remove the P2 if appropriate.


 * Recording Preferences


 * Truncate Silence

Placeholders

 * Tracks Menu: Gale 12Aug13: There is a strong case for an examples page since some users shy away from the align commands as they are thought to be complex.


 * Label Tracks: There is more detail on tabbing here than at Creating and Selecting Labels (which was true even before tab documentation was expanded). Perhaps only a summary of tabbing is wanted here, and the complete text on Creating and Selecting Labels?


 * Tutorial - Recording audio playing on the computer: maybe mention that audio can be ripped from DVDs with details
 * Gale: Probably needs a Wiki page first, in view of the complications. Been on my list for ages.


 * Tutorial - Copy and paste a section of audio: Gale 15Apr13: wrote "This is orphaned and not as good as it could be. The best suggestion at the moment seems to be to tweak it and move it into Tutorial_-_Editing_an_Existing_File with a longer term intention of some Manual or more likely Wiki material on repairs including drop-ins. See http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=210332#p210332 for some other suggestions."
 * Peter 23Apr13: As an orphaned page this is clearly not a release-blocker.


 * Transcription Toolbar: Gale 14Aug13: Text referring to 0.01x speed modified to read as below due to bug 645. Text should be changed back to 0.01x when the bug is fixed.


 * Transcription Toolbar: This is a placeholder P2 "Having to click the Play-at-Speed button to change speed was a change made to prevent a freeze on Linux with some buggy versions of PulseAudio. Previously, dragging the slider restarted playback. Please monitor this and change the Manual if the behaviour is changed back."
 * Peter 23Apr13: Not a release-blocker.


 * Keyboard Shortcut Reference: When Bug 133 is fixed, remove "You need to then use the Play-at-speed shortcut above to restart playback at the new speed." from the "Increase/decrease playback speed" shortcuts.


 * Splitting a recording into separate tracks: replace the references to the two Finders with Steve's new Album Track Marker when it gets released.
 * Peter 22Aug13: Moved to placeholder section as Album Track Marker will not be in 2.0.4 (as discussed with Steve).


 * Sample workflow for LP digitization: If and when an improved Sound-Finder/Silence-Finder gets implemented consider adding advice about sound/silence finder as a way to place labels. Peter 19Jul13: Steve is currently working on a new Analyzer with a working title of Album Track Marker.
 * Peter 22Aug13: Moved to placeholder section as Album Track Marker will not be in 2.0.4 (as discussed with Steve).
 * Effect Menu: Single P2 for all the LADSPA effects still carry author attribution in the latest (20Jun) alpha Audacity.
 * Gale 06Jul13: It's been decided that there is no "simple" solution to this - the plug-in code can easily be hacked to remove the credits and license but then to strictly satisfy GPL we'd have to store the modified source code (as well as add attribution for one author). Probably both these effects will ultimately be replaced with ones written by "us".

Wiki P2s
These three P2s in the Wiki - all relate to WDM-KS which is unlikely to be re-instated for 2.0.6
 * Windows Vista OS
 * MultichannelRecording
 * Windows 7 OS


 * NavigationTips: This should mention Go to Selection Start/ End after release of 2.0.4.


 * DC Offset: need to discuss naturally occurring offset recordings

Wiki P2 Placeholders

 * File Management Tips] Can be tweaked to refer to "current Audacity" not having this problem after 2.0.6 release.


 * Looping:  Export Selection > Export Selected Audio needed after 2.0.6.
