In Lumiera, "Tracks" are not what you'd expect from
conventional video editing software. They are a mere
grouping devide, and are also used to implement the
"media bins" and tool palettes.
But having "folders" on the timeline would be likewise
confusing, as would be to have a "branch" or "tree".
To get out of that dilemma, we chose an understandable
but deliberately somewhat strange name: "Fork"
It was common understanding on the Mailinglist that we
should handle this renaming in a tuned-down and discrete
way: The UI will continue to show "Tracks" for a familiar
sight and "Bins" in the Asset section. But Lumiera developers
will be nudged to accomodate by renaming the entity in
source code accordingly
- upgrade the configuration to a current version
- provide a frontpage with cross-links to other documentation
- define a set of modules; relevant classes and files can be
added to these, to create a exploration path for new readers
- fix a lot of errors in documentation comments
- use a custom configuration for the documentation pages
- tweak the navigation, the sections and further arrangements
to make them stand out more prominently, some entity comments
where started with a line of starts. Unfortunately, doxygen
(and javadoc) only recogise comments which are started exactly
with /**
This caused quite some comments to be ignored by doxygen.
Credits to Hendrik Boom for spotting this problem!
A workaround is to end the line of stars with *//**
this draft fills in the structure how to get from an invocation
of the engine service to the starting of actual CalcStream instances.
Basically the EngineService implementation is repsonsile to
instruct the Segmentation to provide a suitable Dispatcher.
