simplify [Microphone] COs

[ronso0]

let's number the microphone inputs consecutively, like the Aux inputs:
 [Microphone1...4]
this would simplify skin templates as well as scripts setting up and handling mic controls a lot.

I'd use the plural for mic hide/show CO:
 [Microphones],show_microphones
It would also make sense to use
 [Skin],show_inputs or
 [Skin],show_mic_aux

It would be quite easy to use [Microphone1] and alias it to [Microphone] do be compatible with legacy skins.

[ronso0 (ronso0)]

Yup, I hoped it would be that easy :)
can you point me to an alias example?

I would like to work on this, may I be guided what needs to be done in brief and how can I achieve it? Thanks

Find the affected COs in the code.
Replace the name with the new name.
Insert aliases for the old names.

See the link above.

On it, thanks a lot

I am extremely sorry to bother u again, but I really tried to understand what am trying to achieve, but I simply can't. so, my doubts are:-
1. U said "Find the affected CO's in the code", so do I have to go through the whole list of controllers https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/wiki/Mixxxcontrols or is it that I have to work only with the Microphone Controllers? https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/wiki/Mixxxcontrols/49407737fa36c55d4570597803c7ed362a344309#microphonen

2. How Do I recognize the ones that are affected (or perhaps it is because I didn't understand the issue)

3.https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/blob/9da873a777a147a3afadfb3a988ec42112359d1e/src/effects/effectrack.cpp#L431 here intellisense said `Adds a ConfigKey for 'alias' to the control for 'key'. Can be used for
supporting a legacy / deprecated control. The 'key' control must exist
for this to work.` Not sure what's confusing about it.

4.In the bug Description by ronso0 he asks about numbering the microphone's input like the aux inputs, moreover [Microphones],show_microphones, [Skin],show_inputs or, [Skin],show_mic_aux are to replace the controllers in the codebase, right? if so I can't really find the controllers which will be replaced by the above mentioned names(like what will show_mic_aux replace?).

Once again sorry for the trouble, I just wanted to clearly understand what is it I am working on.

[Sanskar Bajpai (pawbud)]

Update: Ok, Ok I think that I understood it, I was thinking that CO stands for controls, but instead its controller objects and now everything makes sense :)
