Verbose setting not passed on to db.getFile

[hagenw]

By setting sim.Verbose = false;, db.getFile() is still used in verbose mode. See for example https://github.com/TWOEARS/examples/blob/master/identification/identify.m#L16

It would be nice if the verbose setting can past to db.getFile() as well. This should be easily possible as bVerbose is already an input parameter to it.

I am getting errors concerning the old API of the database. After fixing that, I'm getting warnings concerning missing files.

I had a look the database and it seems that the label text files for sound_databases/IEEE_AASP/void/ are missing. I will look them up in the internal database.

They are also missing in the internal database. @kashefy @ivo--t : do you have the data somewhere?
I'm referring to missing label files like e.g. sound_databases/IEEE_AASP/void/void07.wav.txt. It seems, that they are only missing for the void class.

[hagenw]

The files are missing in the database, because they are supposed to be empty. That was also the main reason for hiding the warning, to avoid that a user is worried.

[hagenw]

But you are right, maybe it would be better to avoid requesting non-existing files at all.

[kashefy]

There are no label files for the void sounds. Our current mechanism for checking that annotation files exist would need to be extended to allow the user to specify when no annotation files are expected.

[ivo--t]

The easy way out here is not to not request the file (as the pipeline has no way of knowing which ones don't have annotation files, beforehand), but to create empty annotation files instead of no files.
