Still waiting for SWS for the above to happen.

In the meanwhile, a little teaser for v2.0

Kainer, try removing the "import warnings;" line and rerun the script.

It is not obligatory there. The thought just crossed my mind.

Thanx E.D. but I allready tried it without the import warnings; line.
Then I get this:


Schwa told me that python isn´t running on the mac version. But this statement was a few versions earlier as far as I remember.

Damn!


Well, for the time being (and in v2.0 of the toolbar that I'm gonna post as soon as SWS adds a new command for coloring asymmetrical track/item selections to the same random color ), you can use regular commands in a custom macro, bypassing the need for a script:

* SWS: Set selected item(s) to custom color x
* SWS: Set selected track(s) to custom color x

And make 16 of those

Yip, that´s what I thought too.
Good idea...

I keep an eye on this.

Heres the keymap. I'm pretty sure I followed directions

Yeah, it's not corrected yet - wait until SWS fixes it, he will probably announce it here

And, your keymap is redundant without the associated reaconsole_customcommands.txt file

Yup, you're right : the commas issue is now fixed in the latest sws build.

Oh, and almost forgot to mention a tiny little new feature that could be quite helpful in the context of this thread:



The "media pool" needs a whole bunch of work but in Cockos-style I decided to let you check it out before it's completely done. Enjoy!

Just had a go with it now and love where it is heading!!!

with the groups do you think you'll be able to support sub groups at some point too?

so we could have something like,

drums\
------|-bdrums
------|-------\analog
------|------ \acoustic
-------\snares
--------------\analog
--------------\acoustic


etc.. Hope you know what I mean anyway.

Could you also explain the assignment of each icon, if you can spare the time?

NAS, carbon, EvilDragon: very, Very cool stuff here! Thanks!!

EvilDragon, I guess you need reaScript 'cause you don't have action(s) like "Set selected track AND/OR item to custom color x", right?
Did Mario already entered an "issue" for that ?
[edit] a standard macro can do the job, no?
[edit2] ok, forget it! Just seen some of the previous posts..

Yes! Mercado_Negro, you cannot chime in like that: "hey, all! look at my amazing toolbar" and silently disapear.. That's just impossible!
Just in order to spare your time, perharps you could just post a download link of the whole stuff

This defeats the purpose imo:
Totally agree and have mentioned this before....

for me this especially a PITA in workflow like this:

I have a floating TB for working with env. and points... it does many things quickly with points...

so imagine having an env. open and using this toolbar to alter point shape, etc. and also having a time selection active... so I'm working away on the env. using the toolbar and want to remove the time selection and hit esc... since at that moment the toolbar has focus, it vanishes... hitting esc again removes the time selection since now the main window has focus...

just a minor PITA.. but it would be MUCH better if the floating toolbars were not affected by the esc key at all. I have an icon the my main toolbar to hide\show them and that should be plenty.

replace referral to SWS as 'thing' because im not sure if its a program or what.

could someone please link me a vidoe that shows how to do this step by step? someone posted one that shows that you can do it, and the results, but not how. the wiki doesnt help me because i dont know the first thing about the program and i dont know where learning to use the program starts and where learning to set this up ends. its a confusion that could be solved easily by someone making a quick step by step tutorial, and im sure other people are in this situation as well
i dont want to learn to use this SWS program, i just want to learn how to get multiview on the toolbar! thanks

Am I right in thinking that this whole multi-view thing where you create custom console commands does NOT work on OSX? I quickly read through the thread, tried creating my own .txt file, but still in Reaper nothing shows up for running any kind of SWS custom console command.

I think we (OS X users) are either missing some instructions, or it simply doesn't work on OS X (yet). We should probably ask the SWS devs.

It works fine, you just need to manually edit/create your reaconsole_customcommands.txt file. It goes in the same place your reaper.ini file lives, which you can go to from the Reaper options menu. I think the standard TextEdit app will work just fine for this purpose; I don't have a mac in front of me to check.

That is *exactly* what I did, but it does not seem to work, or I'm missing something.

On OS X, the reaper.ini file lives in:
Code:
~/Library/Application Support/REAPER/reaper.ini
So I created a text file here:
Code:
~/Library/Application Support/REAPER/reaconsole_customcommands.txt
It's contents are:
Code:
S*MIDI*
S*VSTi*
S*Drum*
S*FX*
S*SEND*
Nevertheless, no new custom actions are showing up. I have also tried saving the text file with CRLF line endings and in ISO-8859-1 (Windows) formats... What am I missing?

[EDIT:] Tried both 32 and 64 versions of the latest versions of REAPER/SWS (4.23pre7/2.2.0 build #2).

[EDIT2:] Ok, finally got it to work as well, following this tip, using TextWrangler (TextEdit and TextMate did not work), setting the encoding to CRLF and Western (Windows Latin 1), saving the file without an extension, then adding the .txt extension in Finder.

It was a little more frustrating than it should have been, so I'd still suggest looking into the way SWS reads configuration files some time.

Btw, this trick totally rocks when used from a control surface. I'd just wish action ID numbers of SWS actions would be more reliable...

Banned, very happy you got it to work. CR vs LF vs CRLF shouldn't matter, *I think*. I have very loose plans to make a GUI for that at some point. At the moment, too busy with family and moving the studio.

As for the action IDs changing that really shouldn't cause much trouble... why is it troublesome for you, perhaps I can help? Key/MIDI bindings are stored by the command string, and you should really be using the same string from ReaScript.

No hurries, enjoy the family time, and let us know if you need to get rid of some old gear! I just hope we can prevent others going down this path from a similar frustrating experience. I guess it has to do with the encoding rather than the line endings, but that still does not explain the thing with adding the extension manually.

Anyway, the SWS dylib does seem to load its .ini files just fine, so perhaps you could reuse some file handling routine from a different part of your code? (Also, renaming the .txt extension to .ini would be more consistent).

Yeah, I know (see also here). But I'm not using ReaScript but OSC atm. For the purpose of triggering actions using OSC messages, actions are triggered referring to the action ID directly (e.g. "/action 12345"), and I don't see how I can dynamically check for the action ID of a specific action by its name.

To be clear, this issue is completely distinct from the one I reported here involving the SWS extension, and using toolbar buttons (which have fixed action IDs) instead of triggering the custom actions directly seems to provide a practical workaround for the time being. I'd still be happy to hear any suggestions for other solutions to this specific problem, of course.

It flies.
Is this hard to implement? Script-based?

Is this sort of things shareable? (if so, how?!)

I don't know if 'import keymap' ensures customID's are imported with actions...

if you/anyone can share this would be very awesome

Thanks!
