Implemented a functionality to hide effects through the effects tab in Preferences. LV2 Effects are hidden by default.

A few things are still left to be done:

  • Add a signal to connect visibility mode update to effect selector.
  • Debug segmentation fault triggered in EffectChain::refreshAllEffects() on clicking OK in preferences.

Could you run git rebase -i upstream/lv2_support2 and squash the last code cleanup commit into the commit before it? (Be sure you have fetched the latest updates from upstream first.) You'll need to use the --force option with git push after that.

Nothing else in the effect manifest is changed during the runtime of Mixxx. I think it would be better for EffectsManager or EffectsBackend to hold the information of which effects are blacklisted.

I don't think WEffectSelector should be responsible for determining which effects to show. Calling m_pEffectsManager->getAvailableEffectManifests() above should take care of that for WEffectSelector. I think the only change needed to WEffectSelector is to call WEffectSelector::populate again when a signal is received from changing the blacklisted effects in the preferences.

This is a good start, but I think the code could use some refactoring so the visibility of effects isn't stored on the EffectManifest.

I don't understand the purpose of the EffectProfile class. It seems to be a thin wrapper around the EffectManifest class. It looks like it was copied and pasted from the broadcasting preferences then modified at the price of overcomplicating the code for this case.

The purpose of EffectProfile class was to store the intermediate visibility settings of each effect. It allows us to cancel without applying the new visibility settings.

@kshitij98

I think we can shift the visibility settings (applied and intermediate both) to EffectsManager.

for (EffectProfilePtr profile : m_pAvailableEffectsModel->profiles()) {
EffectManifest* pManifest = profile->getManifest();
pManifest->setVisibility(profile->isVisible());
m_pConfig->set(ConfigKey("[Visible Effects]", pManifest->id()), ConfigValue(profile->isVisible()));

I was initially thinking of using a comma or semicolon separated list for the hidden effects, but this approach has simpler code and is more robust in case the effect name has the delimiter in it. 👍

I think we can simplify this class by making it a private struct of EffectSettingsModel:

struct EffectProfile {
    EffectManifestPointer pManifest;
    bool bIsVisible;

I think we can simplify this class by making it a private struct of EffectSettingsModel:

struct EffectProfile {
    EffectManifestPointer pManifest;
    bool bIsVisible;
}

We will anyway have to define accessors and setter functions. So I think we will just be shifting the code from EffectProfile.cpp to EffectSettingsModel.cpp and it is better as it is.

Debug segmentation fault triggered in EffectChain::refreshAllEffects() on clicking OK in preferences.

I confirm that the segmentation fault is in the lv2 branch itself and hence is out of the scope of this PR.

GitHub won't let me comment directly on the lines below because you haven't modified them yet. Anyway, use effectType->setText(EffectManifest::backendTypeToTranslatedString(pManifest->backendType()) below instead of pBackend->getName().

I noticed an issue with the EffectsManager::getEffectManifestAndBackend and EffectsManager::getEffectManifest functions. If two backends each have an effect that happens to have the same ID string, there will be conflict between them and only the effect in the backend that happened to be registered first will be available to the rest of Mixxx. Currently this is a hypothetical issue because LV2 effects are identified by a URL which wouldn't conflict with the ID strings for built-in effects (assuming a standards-compliant LV2 plugin, which we cannot assume because we do not control the LV2 plugins), so fixing this is not a big priority and does not need to be done in this PR. For now, removing DlgPrefEffects' dependency on EffectsManager::getEffectManifestAndBackend is enough. I think we should keep this issue in mind going forward with the refactoring though. Effects should be identified by both their EffectType and a QString, not a QString alone.

Currently backendTypeToTranslatedString returns QString("") for Unknown backends. We can set it to tr("Unknown"), but for consistency in Effect Info in Effects Preferences, I've returned an empty string.

The results of this could change depending on how "Built-in" is translated. Let's use static_cast<int> to compare the EffectBackendTypes instead. This way the sorting order will match the order the types are declared in the enum class.

Hmm, now that I see this line, it looks unnecessarily verbose. Let's change backendTypeToTranslatedString to a non-static public method of EffectManifest that reads the manifest's m_backendType member so this line could be reduced to:

I think we can change the function name to something like translatedBackendName() also.
Because anyway we are using backendTypeToTranslatedString() as an accessor function and translatedBackendName() seems more intuitive to me.

Now that we have noticed the potential for name collisions using just the ID string of EffectManifests, I see that problem could also occur here. I propose adding the EffectBackendType converted to a string to the group of the ConfigKey, for example "[Visible Built-in Effects]". We'll need a new public method of EffectManifest, let's call it backendTypeToUntranslatedString, so the logic works regardless of the user's locale (which the user could change between different times Mixxx is run).
