Default Reaper settings broken

Hey all,

something seems broken with my Reaper settings.
"SWS/BR: Project track selection Action" does not work on my regular
installation. But it does on a portable. Now what's the best way to get a working Reaper Installation with my old settings? Fresh install and set up everything manually again, or is there a faster way?

To which Action is it currently set to?

I guess, you already tried to clear and re-set the command ID/identifier string for this Action, right?
Maybe also check if you have the same and/or latest SWS version installed on both?

Hey Solger!

I set a simple action like "Transport: play". Yep, and I already tried to clear it and replaced it with something else (Reno's track selection script).
Indeed, I had different versions installed (SWS 2.8.9). Switched back to the latest stable with the same result. But, I deleted Reaper.ini and then the action worked. So, I fear, I have to go thru every setting
in the Reaper.ini to find the culprit

Just to clarify:

- Is the "Project track selection Action" not working in general? Or only when assigning certain Actions to it?
- And are you selecting the Tracks via mouse. Or otherwise?

EDIT: You might even try making a Custom Action which only consists of "Transport: play". And then assigning this Custom Action command ID to "SWS/BR: Project track selection Action".

Yeah, very strange.
I had a quick look and not sure really what might be causing this. And it doesn't look like that the assigned value of the 'SWS/BR: Project track selection' Action is written into any .ini file.

But maybe start by deleting just all lines from the [SWS] section in the reaper.ini, first. And see if you can narrow the issue down to this section.
Or could it perhaps be the case that another script/action is taking priority or cancelling the "Project track selection Action" out?

I found the issue! Went thru the whole Reaper.ini and first deleted the SWS section. When this didn't help, I deleted bits pagewise until I could enclose the entry.

It's in the [reaper] section and called:
showctinmix=0

When putting =1, the track selection action works.
Any idea what this option does?

Great to hear that you found the source of the issue

According to this doc (https://github.com/Ultraschall/ultra...umentation.txt) showctinmix is related to Mixer right-click-menu > Scroll view when tracks activated
Code:
showctinmix
Scroll view when tracks activated-entry, as set in the Mixer-context-menu.
It is an integer
        0, don't scroll view(off) - unchecked
        1, scroll view(on) - checked

Ah, okay, very strange, that the SWS action is dependent on that preference.
What's a bit unfortunate: that track selection only gets recognized, when using the mouse. There's no way to extend this to keyboard selection as well?
