New script:
Move items to timecode (in filename)

Not sure if this is helpful for anyone else than me, but I put it up anyway for archiving reasons

When scoring for film and exporting finished cues, I put the TC in the filename and BWF.
Unfortunately, Reaper is not able to read BWF written into FLACs (Cubase for example, does that).
So, I tried to find another way to align cues in my main scoring project in Reaper.
My files usually look like this:
Quote:
project_v1.0_10.00.00.00.flac
This script reads the item (file) name and extracts the timecode.
It expects 8 digits in pairs of 2, seperated by dots.
If no items are selected, all items will be moved to their TC position.
If there is a selection, only selected items will be moved.
Files with no TC in their filename will not be moved at all.

EDIT: I just found out that it's not yet working as expected. Since items are constantly moved around when dealing with a bunch of items, the script needs to be run several times in a row, which is not desirable. I will have to save the items in an array to solve this.
