HeDa Track Inspector VIP v2.3.13 (2024-03-20) - Page 47

heda · 08-02-2019, 02:53 AM

Thanks. I was not aware. I'm using BR_TrackAtMouseCursor, which will probably be broken too... I'll test and see if I can update it to GetTrackFromPoint()

_Stevie_ · 08-02-2019, 03:55 AM

It‘s very straight forward. I updated some of my scripts as well.
First you need to call GetMousePosition(x, y ) and then GetTrackFromPoint(screen_x, screen_y, info )

_Stevie_ · 08-02-2019, 08:15 AM

Btw, HeDa, I did a text search in my scrips folder for "SNM_MoveOrRemoveTrackFX", to see which scripts still use the old method for moving/copy FX.
I found some traces of it in HTIx64.dat and HTIx32.dat referring to the master track.
Just pointing out, maybe you want to replace them with the faster reaper.TrackFX_CopyToTrack.

heda · 08-02-2019, 10:02 AM

last chance for tooltip

also fixes replacing old SWS functions
The advantage now is that it will work with latest REAPER version and it can also be dragged into MCP and FX chain windows.

* v1.4rc32 (2019-08-02)
# fix: drag and drop to tracks fix for v5.981
# fix: drag and drop to Mixer and FX Chains windows
# fix: tooltip dragging to track?
# replacing SNM_MoveOrRemoveTrackFX() with native function. (thanks _Stevie_)

_Stevie_ · 08-02-2019, 10:21 AM

Weeeee, awesome HeDa, at least for me the tooltip works!

hopi · 08-02-2019, 08:56 PM

why do I always get left out... %^(
LoL... tooltips still not working for me

FX do d and d to both TCP and MCP nicely but no tooltip

Arthur McArthur · 08-02-2019, 09:19 PM

Tooltips are working for me in the latest version. Thanks Heda!

whyyyyyyyyyy? at least it is not critical, but I thought I fixed it because to display the tooltip it was checking mouse cursor while dragging outside the script window but only to the right... and in some screenshots I saw you were using the Inspector docked to the right instead, so I fixed to check for mouse to the left of the window to display the tooltip.... now I don't really know why it wouldn't work for you. :?

_Stevie_ · 08-03-2019, 05:59 AM

Hopi, which Reaper version are you using?

hopi · 08-03-2019, 09:18 AM

I am using ver. 5.981x64 last official release version I believe

HeDa... it is true that I dock the TI to the right of TCP

Have you tried on the left just in case Of missed something? I cannot test now. It is closer to the tracks being on the left. I reserve the right for the master TI.

Arthur McArthur · 08-03-2019, 11:58 AM

On my system, the tooltips appear when docked on the left, but not on the right.

Robert Randolph · 08-03-2019, 02:41 PM

DPMeter 4 is out.

Will Track Inspector be switching to utilize that as a dependency?

I didn't see the need to update to dpmeter 4, but with the latest update today about disabling true peak metering, it could be very interesting for HeDaMixer where you can have many instances of it and only needing the loudness metering. I'll update both HeDaMixer and Track Inspector to support it by default.

yes... I can test it now.. and that seems the problem... I really thought I fixed it but I was too confident that I didn't even test it... I must have missed something else

heda · 08-03-2019, 03:58 PM

oh.... I tried to fix it so fast that I made a typo...
it should be really fixed now.

* v1.4rc33 (2019-08-04)
# fix: tooltip dragging to tracks, when script docked at the right.

hopi · 08-03-2019, 08:23 PM

YES HeDa you nailed it this time

now is there a way to turn off the tooltips so we don't have to see them?

hahahaha.... I'm just kidding... thanks for the fix!

_Stevie_ · 08-03-2019, 08:24 PM

LOL good one

heda · 08-04-2019, 04:37 AM

hahaha

for the other tooltips that appear when the mouse is over buttons, there is a ? button at the bottom to enable/disable them. But for this I guess it is ok to always have the tooltip.

There is a bug with the normal tooltips, showing even if there is a window over the script window. For example open a MIDI editor floating over Track Inspector, then the tooltip appears even if I am in the MIDI editor window. I don't know how to fix this. It seems gfx.mouse_x and gfx.mouse_y are always returned even if there is a window over the script window. I'm still not sure if I do something wrong or if this has to be fixed by Cockos.

_Stevie_ · 08-04-2019, 05:26 AM

I think that’s a Reaper bug. I also get this with Reaper tooltips.

hopi · 08-04-2019, 12:32 PM

HeDa... sorry to have to tell you this but in latest version a bug from a few versions ago is back...

It is the one where with TI running, clicking on a track in the TCP does not immediately let the MCP scroll to that track... do you remember that one?

It is back... %^(

I made it an option in rc27 https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.ph...postcount=1783
Because it was scrolling all the time when I don't want. Maybe good for some cases but not in general.

hopi · 08-04-2019, 02:48 PM

oh thanks.... I did not know it was now an option.... so great... turned it on and I'm back to happy %^)

Skorobagatko · 08-07-2019, 04:01 AM

Can't figure out, how to completely remove all tags so it won't load them when I create a new project? After I edit them and save presets TI loads old ones when I start a new project.

edit: got it, just need to save my default template with new TI tags.

_Stevie_ · 08-16-2019, 08:29 AM

Hey HeDa!

Got another request, since SWS auto color is not really working for that use case.

Would it be possible to auto assign track colors and icons for track tags?

In the following video I assigned an icon to all tracks with the name "1st Violins". But when I rename a track and it doesn't contain "1st Violins" anymore but something like "1st Vlns", the whole assignment falls apart.
Ideally, the icon and color assignment would happen on a track tags basis.
So that would be a perfect TI task

heda · 08-16-2019, 09:05 AM

Colors by tag are already implemented. But not enabled by default (from the tags panel menu)
When enabling it will change all tracks colors with the colors for each tag. Then disabling it will restore all track colors as they were before. So it is safe to use.

I can certainly add icons by tag too. I don't know why I didn't think about icons. Adding this to the list of new things for v1.5

_Stevie_ · 08-16-2019, 09:07 AM

Wow, awesome, the color thing slipped attention!
And thanks for adding icons!

Supremo · 08-18-2019, 04:05 AM

Hi HeDa! Just started using your amazing Track Inspector_VIP tool (the latest version). One issue that I keep encountering, although I believe you had fixed that long ago: my Reaper shortcuts stop responding when Track Inspector is focused. For example, whenever I adjust a track volume or do something else via Track Inspector, my play-stop button or any other shortcut won't work until I click again outside the TI. Any chance you could take a second look at this issue?

Cheers, mate!

_Stevie_ · 08-18-2019, 06:18 AM

Unfortunately that’s nothing HeDa can fix. It is the way that Reaper now behaves when script windows have focus. We suggested a function in the API to tell Reaper when a text box (of a script) is shown.
That way the keyboard would only have focus while the text box is visible.
But unfortunately that didn’t happen.

heda · 08-18-2019, 06:47 AM

I think I need to restore the space-bar to play/pause at least as it was some versions ago. But I think it was causing problems when setting space-bar as global+textfields. So if we don't use space-bar as a global shortcut I can include space-bar detection again on TI. Normally when you click on TI buttons, it focus again to the arrange area but maybe this is broken in latest pre releases since it uses some breeder see functions that may not be compatible with lates release. I need to check.

_Stevie_ · 08-18-2019, 07:21 AM

Wow okay, then I was wrong. Would be great if you are able to fix it.

heda · 08-18-2019, 09:44 AM

ok now it should focus on arrange after clicking on things in TI so shortcuts work again.
spacebar also plays/stops. If you have spacebar as global+textfields, then let me know if strange things happen. I think the best is to not have spacebar as global just in case. other shortcuts... with key combinations as CTRL+key... ALT+key etc... are safer to use as global+textfields. In my opinion.

* v1.4rc34(2019-08-18)
# fix changing tracks when HeDaMixer is active and following track selection (no locked to tracks)
# fix: restore spacebar for play/stop while TI focused.
# fix: restore focus on arrange

_Stevie_ · 08-18-2019, 11:23 AM

Tried to update, but didn't work. Could this be because I ran the Script Manager from my Linux install and today from Windows?

Same here

heda · 08-18-2019, 12:01 PM

oops... I know what happened... my fault... sorry...
fixed...

_Stevie_ · 08-18-2019, 01:34 PM

That worked! For both cases, installing and focus arrange, yay, thanks!!!

about the color by tag, I don't know why but today in a new project I can't make the tracks color by tag to work, while in other projects it is working mmmm ... I will have to double check

_Stevie_ · 08-19-2019, 06:18 AM

I also had some strange things happening here. My whole tags disappeared from a project from one moment to another. Happened several times now but I have no idea what’s causing this. I have to monitor.

that's more worrying. What do you mean from one moment to another?
was it in a project that may have been tagged with old versions of TI? or in a new project tagged for the first time with latest version?
