Is it possible to save ReaScript state even when REAPER restarts?

[nikolalkc]

This is how my script looks like:

local state = tonumber(reaper.GetExtState("toggle-test","state"))
if state == nil then state = 0 end

if state == 0 then
	state = 1
elseif state == 1 then
	state = 0
end

reaper.SetExtState("toggle-test","state",state,true)
local self = ({reaper.get_action_context()})[4]
reaper.SetToggleCommandState(0, self, state)

When I create a toolbar button for this script it works fine.
Script has two states, on/off and that is reflected in toolbar button color.


The problem shows when I restart REAPER. ExtState is still on but the button does not show that until I click it again. How can I save this state to be reloaded when REAPER opens? I would like to avoid using sws global startup action.

Is this even possible?

Create a new script, called:

__startup.lua

in your scripts-folder. This will be run automatically at startup.
In that script, you add the "Set Toggle-States"-codelines.

Thanks, I didn't know about that.
This will be useful.
