Thanks - will try that.

I'm only using the GDI stuff to display progress bars at the moment - as it seems to handle better than default graphics options when a lot of stuff is going on in the background.

Unfortunately - it still freezes up completely in the worst cases (until the processing is finished) - but definitely seems slightly better (as in - at least displays the progress bar when sometimes using the default graphics options it doesn't show up at all even though I'm writing directly to gfx.dest -1 and calling gfx.update() ).

It used to work better - but something changed in an update and I find using the native gfx functions for instant graphics updates (ie. out of the standard graphics drawing routine) problematic).

Can you post the final code for this? I tried running what you posted earlier, and didn't get anything... I am running .971, and just updated reaper (win64) today...

Oops, I guess I copied an older version, this one does run fine. In the first dialog I selected the ini associated with guitar rig, but the reabank that got created only has 2 presets in it. Well, my ini only has 2 presets, but I thought you were reading the VST presets exposed in the dropdown menu (87 in this case). Is this still not possible? I already have means to parse the .ini for preset names, I was hoping you'd figured out how to get the vst presets from the combobox in the vst window... is that not possible with this API?

See if this works, it first searches the list for where 'User Presets', starts and ends, so if same English text it should work,...

EDIT When I use midi PC message to select say 3rd user preset from this reabank file and FX also has 'VST built-in' presets then the FX uses the 3rd built-in preset. But ReaControlMIDI works fine.

v0.972 uploaded:
* WindowsOS: Enable confirmation dialogs for file functions.
* macOS: Fix GetClientRect screen coordinates.
* GDI: macOS and Linux use same color format as WindowsOS.
* New: Window_GetLong, MonitorFromRect, GetClientSize.

WARNING!

I recently realized that all functions that return screen coordinates -- js_ReaScriptAPI functions as well as native functions such as GetMousePosition -- work differently on macOS than on Linux and Windows:

* On macOS, screen coordinates are calculated relative to the *bottom* left corner of the screen, and the positive Y-axis points upwards

* On Linux and Windows, screen coordinates are calculated relative to the *upper* left corner, and the positive Y-axis points downwards.

On all platforms, client coordinates are calculated relative to the upper left corner of the client area.

It is therefore prudent to convert screen coordinates to client coordinates, using ScreenToClient, immediately after getting the screen coordinates.

Could I just ask - is this like when saving a file - if it exists it asks for confirmation - and the result returned from the function reflects this? (Sorry - not got time to check this just now).

If so - is it always active? Only I've added my own confirmations in my script - so want to know if I need to remove my own dialog?

Do Mac and Linux have the same dialogs?

If it's nothing to do with this - just ignore me

Save file: asks for overwrite confirmation if the file already exists.
Open file: asks for create confirmation if the file doesn't already exist.

If so - is it always active?

Yes. I tried to find a way to add a boolean parameter that is optional, so that existing scripts won't be broken, but couldn't find a way.

Do Mac and Linux have the same dialogs?

For saving and overwriting, yes. It seems that Linux and Mac don't give the option to type in a name and create a new file via the open file dialog. (I'm no Linux and Mac expert though, so I may be overlooking some option somewhere.)

[juliansader]

Come to think of it... would it actually be better in Windows if Save has an overwrite confirmation popup, but Open simply prevents creating a new file?

[Edgemeal]

I was a little surprised when Open File asked me if I wanted to create a file when I typed 'gibberish' (file that didn't exist), It just seems weird to even have an option to create a file when your supposed to be selecting a file to open, but I guess it has its uses.

in vb.net using all defaults I get,..

I like that better.

For me personally, I wouldn't require the create new file option - as I'd be requesting some data file that already existed (and a newly created file wouldn't be any use). But I'd usually have code in place that would discard the created file anyway. I too prefer Edgemeal's 'File not found' suggestion.

In windows open file dialog - it's usually possible to create a file anyway using the right-click menu within the dialog if necessary (don't know about other OS's though).

Nice to have the overwrite option built in when saving a file though - saves me coding it into a script. As long as the different OS dialogs have the same overwrite confirmation of course (like you confirmed). If they didn't - it would probably be best to have them react in the same way if poss so I need less OS specific code in the script.

Hey guys,

I got scripts working on a PC that dont work on a Mac (i tried to make a portable version in the mac if that matters)

Actually the scripts work but i think its more about the functions to open files/folders

I got this:

retval, fileNames = reaper.JS_Dialog_BrowseForOpenFiles( "Select your wav files", "C:\\", _, _, true )

On the mac the caption doesnt even show up and the button to select the files ("Open") is greyed out, unavailable.

Any clue?

[juliansader]

Since El Capitan, Apple has removed custom captions from standard File Open dialogs. It is possible to "hack" captions by displaying the custom title as a message on top of the dialog, but Cockos's WDL/swell hasn't implemented this:


* macOS file open dialogs don't provide a dropdown list for the extension filter -- instead, all extensions in the list are enabled

* the "Open" button is only enabled once a file (with an acceptable extension) is selected.

[reapero]

Thank you Julian!

Another thing not working on the mac: to separate multiple file names being selected i used this code:

retval, fileNames = reaper.JS_Dialog_BrowseForOpenFiles( "Select your wav files", "C:\\", _, _, true )

t = {} --add names to table
for file in fileNames:gmatch("[^\0]+") do
    t[#t+1] = file
end

Turns out mac uses "/" instead of "" so now i dont have the filenames in the table anymore. I think i read you guys talking about it, Edgemeal suggested to use "/" so i changed it to

for file in fileNames:gmatch("[^/0]+") do

but unfortunately it doesnt work on windows.

So is there any workaround for this?

[juliansader]

The "\0" in gmatch should always use a backslash \, since the backslash is the "escape character" and the "\0" pair is simply a way for humans to type a character byte with value 0.

The first example code that you posted should work, except that you should also concatenate the folder path (if any) to each the file names. Here are two examples that should work on all platforms:

OK, files = reaper.JS_Dialog_BrowseForOpenFiles("", "", "", "", true)

t = {}
if not files:match("\0") then -- single file selected?
    t[1] = files
else -- multiple files selected
    folder = files:match("^[^\0]*") -- if macOS, may be empty string, so use *
    for file in files:gmatch("\0([^\0]+)") do
        t[#t+1] = folder .. file
    end
end

d = {}
for file in files:gmatch("[^\0]*") do -- * instead of + to capture empty substrings
    d[#d+1] = file
end
if #d > 1 then -- multiple files?
    local folder = table.remove(d, 1) -- may be empty, in case of macOS
    for f = 1, #d do
        d[f] = folder .. d[f]
    end
end

[Edgemeal]

Any reason this script wouldn't work on Mac?

Mac user says it doesn't work as expected,

It just doesnt work the same on mac and pc. I paste the code here again:

retval, fileNames = reaper.JS_Dialog_BrowseForOpenFiles( "Select your wav files", "C:\\", _, _, true )

t = {} --add names to table
for file in fileNames:gmatch("[^\0]+") do
    t[#t+1] = file
end

If i select 2 files, this is the output from the table in both platforms:

WINDOWS:
t[1] = C:\ (the path)
t[2] = skull_damage_00.wav (the name of the first file)

MAC:
t[1] = /Users/me/Downloads/skull_damage_00.wav (full path for first file)
t[2] = /Users/me/Downloads/skull_damage_01.wav (full path for second file)

Is there something i am missing?

I am interested in the names without the path, since i did the script on a pc and further string manipulation is done afterwards based on just the file names(table values). So, ideally, i should have the same table on the mac that i get on the pc.

Please dont tell me i have to re write the whole script...

Which version of the JS-extension is installed? Earlier versions had an issue with Window_Find().

You should also do some checks, like if there are multiple windows open with the same name, maybe checking, if the HWND has certain childHWNDs to separate it from others with the same name who aren't FXWindows.
If there's a gfx-window open with the same name, you run into trouble.
You can make a debug-version that displays, which window is found so the user can report, what is found and what not.

I can't remember any issues with the Find functions, but I think the problem lies with the WM_CLOSE message. Windows are not forced to obey WM_CLOSE, but JS_Window_Destroy should work, even for docked windows.

Is the second file not returned on WindowsOS?

macOS sometimes doesn't return the folder separately, and the first substring will then be empty. If you use gmatch("[^\0]*"), i.e. with * instead of +, you will capture the first substring, even if it's empty.

In a future version, I can perhaps add some C++ code to check whether the folder is returned separately.

To extract the file name, you can use

t[#t+1] = file:match("[^/]+$")

Hmmm, I tried "WM_DESTROY" (Win7), its not good, when fx monitor is docked and in view and a destroy msg is sent to then the docker doesn't update correctly and the fx monitor appears as if it is drawn over all the tabs! REAPER don't like it thats for sure!

Edit, And when fx monitor window is not docked sending destroy msg doesn't seem to do anything except make it act weird, REAPER must be looking for WM_CLOSE msgs or something.

Maybe best I just mark the script as Windows Only. ?

[juliansader]

I suspect docked windows will encounter the same problems in Windows. As discussed by yourself and others in Any idea how to resize dockers through scripts?, nobody seems to know yet how to handle REAPER's dockers and docked windows.

The native API function DockWindowRemove doesn't seem to work properly either.

Perhaps it's time to ask Justin and Schwa directly? (Perhaps via askjf.com.) Or we can try to check which WM_USER messages are sent to the docker or the main window when a docked window is closed via the menu or the x button.

[Edgemeal]

MAC user says the window doesn't close even when not docked, so can only guess WM_CLOSE doesn't work on MAC?

When fxm is undocked, it opens the window but does not close in a next script run

I don't have a MAC so no way to test.

[juliansader]

I tested JS_Window_Destroy on Windows, Linux and OSX High Sierra, and it seems to work fine: the docked window is destroyed, its contents are removed, and it can be re-opened again without problems.

JS_Window_Destroy seems to do a lot more than just send WM_DESTROY:

Destroys the specified window. The function sends WM_DESTROY and WM_NCDESTROY messages to the window to deactivate it and remove the keyboard focus from it. The function also destroys the window's menu, flushes the thread message queue, destroys timers, removes clipboard ownership, and breaks the clipboard viewer chain (if the window is at the top of the viewer chain).

If the specified window is a parent or owner window, DestroyWindow automatically destroys the associated child or owned windows when it destroys the parent or owner window. The function first destroys child or owned windows, and then it destroys the parent or owner window.

DestroyWindow also destroys modeless dialog boxes created by the CreateDialog function.

[Edgemeal]

I tried closing FX monitor window on MAC (virtualbox),
Neither WM_CLOSE or WM_SYSCOMMAND,SC_CLOSE do anything, and sending WM_DESTROY basically had same effect as in Windows, the fx monitor window still there but no longer responds to mouse, keys, etc,. Was fun to play with MAC OS though, ok not really, I hated it!

Have fun!

[juliansader]

Did JS_Window_Destroy work fine?

[Edgemeal]

I didn't even know about that one!

Yes, JS_Window_Destroy seems to work OK for closing the window, tried on Windows 7 and that virtual MacOS 10.12.

Cheers!

It is, on t[3], since the first key value corresponds to the path.

That kinda worked. I have now in MAC:

t[1] = (empty value)
t[2] = /Users/me/Downloads/skull_damage_00.wav (first selected file)
t[3] = /Users/me/Downloads/skull_damage_01.wav (second file)

To extract the file name, you can use

t[#t+1] = file:match("[^/]+$")

Now if i do that i lose the first empty value on the table and get

t[1] = skull_damage_00.wav
t[2] = skull_damage_01.wav


So, is there any possible way for me to end up with the same table i did on the PC? This:

t[1] = path
t[2] = skull_damage_00.wav (the name of the first file)
t[3] = skull_damage_01.wav (the name of the second file)


Or should i already consider using conditionals based on OS? Pretty lost here

[juliansader]

Originally Posted by reapero

There are two conditionals that you should consider:

1) If only one file was selected, the folder is not returned separately, and the entire path with file name is returned as a single string.

2) On macOS, the folder is sometimes (always?) not returned separately. (BTW, I'm not sure why -- is it a bug, or can a user select files from more than one folder?)

So, is there any possible way for me to end up with the same table i did on the PC? This:

Sure, simply extract the folder path, store it in t[1] and remove it from all the other entries:

t = {}
for file in list:gmatch("[^\0]*") do
    t[#t+1] = file
end
if #t > 1 and t[1] == "" then -- macOS multiple files?
    t[1] = t[2]:match("^.*/") or "" -- folder path
    for i = 2, #t do
        local filename = t[i]:match("[^/]+$")
        if t[i] == t[1] .. filename then -- check that each entry consists of folder..filename
            t[i] = filename
        else
            -- Error: not all files from same folder!
        end
    end
end

[Breeder]

I'm seriously too short on time for any code related stuff to try and do this but maybe some kind soul finds it useful and wants to share with the community:

Take a screenshot of a project (or maybe just the arrange and mixer window - alt+prtscreen type...maybe all 3...screenshot of the screen, arrange and mixer...that would enough information for later overview), save it in the project audio folder and import into media bay (so it doesn't get deleted on project cleanup)

Is it even possible using js_ extension?

The more I work, the more projects get heavier and slower to load so this would be a lifesaver. Run it when saving the project (if it exists create a backup like .rpp files get backups on saving) and have an instant overview of what is what.

If a donation could speed this up, pm me with the amount

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Screenshot should be possible, but saving it as a file could be a thing.
There's only a LoadPNG-Lice-function, but not a SavePNG-one.

This would be awesome to have, for even more things than your usecase.

But seriously, string manipulation in lua with all of these special characters, patterns and weird expressions..isnt this complicated if you compare it to, lets say, python? I am asking this from the most pure ignorance, so no pun intended.


Now i found another problem: in order to create files in the folder i extracted earlier, i have to manually add a backslash(\) character at the end in Windows -not included in the path. On Mac it seems that this is a slash(/) and its already included in the path.

Any way to deal with this besides using reaper.GetOS() to do some logic and write different code for each platform?

Thanks a lot!

If you code in Lua, you can use my Ultraschall-API, which holds the function:

https://mespotin.uber.space/Ultrasch...seForOpenFiles

That does it for you.

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

BTW, is there a chance to get the current check-state of a checkbox-hwnd or radio-buttons?
And is there already some kind of a list of the useable ChildIDs in Reaper? If not, I will create one.

BM_GETCHECK works in Windows.

  ret = reaper.JS_WindowMessage_Send(hwnd, "BM_GETCHECK", 0,0,0,0)
-- 1 = CHECKED, 0 = NOT CHECKED

Since v0.970, BrowseForOpenFiles on Windows should return a folder path with backslash at the end, if multiple files were selected (similar to macOS and Linux, which return paths ending with forward slash). If it doesn't work, please let me know.

[juliansader]

There's only a LoadPNG-Lice-function, but not a SavePNG-one.

I will see if I can add functions to save image files in the next version.
