Would it be possible to allow scripts to write Take Markers during recording, please?

The intention is to enable this script to utilise the great new Take Marker system: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=175925

Default pin feature

is thrr any API can allow us to make a auto-pin fx & fx chain window script?

kinda frustrating when I try to open multiple fx window on MCP.
they keep falling back to the lower layer If I forgot to pin them manually.
really wish they can b always on top.

Auto-pin lua script:

Code:
local pinned = {}
local click = reaper.NamedCommandLookup('_S&M_MOUSE_L_CLICK')

function main()
  local retval, list = reaper.JS_Window_ListFind( "tb", true )
  for address in list:gmatch("[^,]+") do
    local pin = reaper.JS_Window_HandleFromAddress( address )
    local parent = reaper.JS_Window_GetParent( pin )
    local title = reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle( parent )
    if not pinned[title] then
      if title:find("^FX:") or title:find("^VST:") or title:find("^JS:") then
        local x, y = reaper.GetMousePosition()
        local _, left, top, right, bottom = reaper.JS_Window_GetClientRect( pin )
        reaper.JS_Mouse_SetPosition( left+8, top+8 )
        reaper.Main_OnCommand(click, 0)
        reaper.JS_Mouse_SetPosition( x, y )
        pinned[title] = true
        reaper.ShowConsoleMsg("pinned " .. title .. "\n")
      end
    end
  end
end
main()

Oh, yes. You are on OSX.
Change this:
Code:
reaper.JS_Mouse_SetPosition( left+8, top+8 )
To this:
Code:
reaper.JS_Mouse_SetPosition( left+8, bottom+8 )
It's a background script

Oh. And get rid of the ShowConsoleMsg line!

I am on Android mobile now and can't do it myself...

Did you ever figure out how to detect if a pin is enabled or not? My only guess is to check if a certain style is set, but I'm not sure which one, quick test,..

EDIT Trying style & WS_EX_TOPMOST...

Code:
local style = reaper.JS_Window_GetLong(pin, "EXSTYLE") & 0x8 -- WS_EX_TOPMOST
reaper.ShowConsoleMsg( style .. "\n") 
-- Win10 x64(1909) results,
-- pinned = 8
-- Not pinned = 0

It is missing the on/off state code. I did it quickly. I can add it.. Unfortunately, I can't test at the moment why it is not working on macOS because my VMWare Catalina broke :/ I have to re-install...

Nice Edgemeal!


I used the S&M action because I could not make it work using WM_LBUTTON messages for some reason...

Ya, when I was working on same thing I tried every msg I could think of (using VS/Win32) and only way to change pin state was the same way your doing it.

Just be aware that if a pin is behind another window you'll be clicking whatever window is in front of that pin!

EDIT Possible better way, Send "WM_ACTIVATE" message with "WA_CLICKACTIVE" flag to the pin, this also sets focus on the windows but windows can be stacked on top of each other without the worry of clicking the wrong window!

Tested on Win10 only...
Code:
-- Pin all FX windows test
-- Edgemeal - May 31, 2021

function PinFx()
  local fgw = reaper.JS_Window_GetForeground() -- OPTIONAL save current foreground window
  local retval, list = reaper.JS_Window_ListFind( "tb", true )
  for address in list:gmatch("[^,]+") do
    local pin = reaper.JS_Window_HandleFromAddress( address )
    if (reaper.JS_Window_IsVisible(pin)) then -- ignore invisible pins 
      local parent = reaper.JS_Window_GetParent( pin )
      local title = reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle( parent )
      if title:find("^FX: ") or title:find("^VST: ") or title:find("^JS: ") then
        local style = reaper.JS_Window_GetLong(pin, "EXSTYLE") & 0x8 -- 0x8 = WS_EX_TOPMOST
        if style == 0 then -- 0 = window is not pinned
          reaper.JS_WindowMessage_Send(pin, "WM_ACTIVATE", 2, 0, 0, 0) -- 2 = WA_CLICKACTIVE
          reaper.ShowConsoleMsg("pinned " .. title .. "\n")
        end -- is pinned?
      end -- check parent title
    end -- is pin visible?
  end
  reaper.JS_Window_SetForeground(fgw) -- OPTIONAL restore foreground window.
end

-- test the function
PinFx()

Default REQ: Write Take Markers during record

It would be great if we could get API functions to write Take Markers with specified colour and name during recording, please.

One example of use case:

This will probably never happen, as takes during recording actually don't exist yet(only in the gui), so altering them isn't possible unless they are "liberated from the recording".
So unless the devs add some kind of "temporary items" who have unchangeable and temporary attributes(like position and length) who allow limited editing(take markers, notes, other data) it'll probably not gonna happen.
I refrained from requesting that a while back because of the complicated implications coming from "temporary items".

Having said that, I would love to see that happen too.

Then it obviously exists somewhere. Perhaps it's not a place we can access directly, but it definitely exists. My suggestion is for the API to allow writing TMs (Take Markers) to that same space.

But to be clear, I'm not proposing writing cue markers to the WAV files themselves, just to the takes, which I expect are stored in the RPP file anyway.

In the current situation, without this API access implemented, it would conceivably be possible for a script to store TMs with name and colour until after recording has finished, then write them to the item. This is actually quite similar to how the existing Take Commenter script works.

Thoughts?

Well, Yes and No, they don't exist, at least not yet. The recorded files exist and Reaper keeps some information in its back for later management, but the takes/items-datastructures are only created AFTER you ended the recording, or you could access them via reaper.GetMediaItem().
I had the same idea back then as the UI obviously shows an existing and growing item but in fact, Reaper creates the datastructure for item/takes only after that.
So you can't access them until then.

Technically it would be possible to make something like that working, so the devs could add accessible items of the items in recording as well.
BUT as I said, you would need to limit access to such items. You have plenty functions who allow setting attributes like position or length who shouldn't be alterable during recording to prevent possible playback-problems.
Others, as I said like take markers could be easily changed during recording.

That's the challenge. This must be balanced with the current paradigms of Item/Take-objects as no script is expecting items only halfway alterable and access of the other half restricted. This could make old scripts incompatible who rely on that paradigm.
So the paradigm of getting an item/take-object and working with it has potential backwards-compatibility-problems with items currently in recording. I mean, try to delete an item currently in recording. You don't want this at all nor can't you, not even via Reaper's GUI.

So to make this go real good, you would either need to overhaul the current system, as take-objects and item-objects have a precise way of working who must be compatible with old scripts.

Or, you add takemarker-functions that can be used only for items currently in recording and not for any existing item.

For instance:
Quote:
boolean retval, integer take_marker_idx, string take_marker_guid, integer itemidx, integer takeidx = reaper.AddTakeMarker_WhileRecording(MediaTrack track, string markername, integer colorvalue)
which would add a take-marker to the item/take currently in recording on a certain track and would be added to the item/take after recording automatically by Reaper, which could be accessed after recording with the regular take-marker-functions, as you know the itemnr, takenr and takemarker-number and therefore can "refind" the takemarker.

This would keep the already existing item/take-system intact while allowing to add take-markers for items currently recording, as you don't need to get Item/Take-objects first before adding a stretch-marker.
But it also means, that setting or deleting them during recording wouldn't work. And if the item in recording isn't finished yet, the returned item/take-number is still invalid and therefor you need to wait until the recording is finished, before this item/take is actually accessible.

I personally would love to see GetSetMediaItemInfo_String() for items in recording as well.
And plenty of other item/take-attributes accessible like getting these during recording:
Code:
D_POSITION : double * : item position in seconds
I_LASTY : int * : Y-position of track in pixels (read-only)
I_LASTH : int * : height in track in pixels (read-only)
I_CUSTOMCOLOR : int * : custom color, OS dependent color|0x100000 (i.e. ColorToNative(r,g,b)|0x100000). If you do not |0x100000, then it will not be used, but will store the color.
I_CURTAKE : int * : active take number
IP_ITEMNUMBER : int, item number on this track (read-only, returns the item number directly)
Ooof....I guess, I was overspecific with that one, as I'm too deep into developing properly designed API-functions for my Ultraschall-API and immediately see the nightmarish dependencies coming up.
Sorry for that.

it would be great to have a API that can manipulate track groups name.
Like we can set the group name based on VCA's name in one go.
just to make the groups easier to manage.

It's the text field at the top of the FX GUI in the FX chain. It's stored in a <COMMENT subchunk in the RPP.

I was wishing for that API call.

Is it possible to modify Track State Chunk <FXCHAIN section safely without excessive string manipulation?

Expect that in the next Ultraschall-API release. Shouldn't be that hard for me to add that.

Ok. Do you know if it's possible to parse ReaScript API Chunks reliably with native Lua functions?

Yes, but that wouldn't be enough, as the comment is stored as Base64-string. So to change it, you would need to encode the new string as Base64.
I have such a function in Ultraschall-API and also other functions to parse FXChains, so adding/setting/deleting the comment shouldn't be that hard.

Haven't checked yet, whether changing the statechunk immediately updates the shown comment in the fx-chain, but I will see.

Ok. Actually, I am more interested in plain machine readable/writable tagging, so any method of adding some sort of custom identifier to TrackFX would be welcome. Preferably with a native Lua/ReaScript API.

That's not possible currently, afaik. Only "reusing" comment or maybe even the fx-name(which is editable as well) were an option, if it shall be connected to the FX(so copying the FX would retain the information).

You could ask as FR for a equivalent of

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

for FX.

GetSetMediaItemInfo_String allows setting something like "tags" to items(there's something similar available for tracks, takes and envelopes as well). For this, it uses the attribute

Quote:
P_EXT:xyz : char * : extension-specific persistent data
So if something similar would be added for FX in general, it could be done via API. And more convenient than any statechunk-manipulation could ever do(even if statechunks would allow it already).

Ok. So far I've solved this by first reading all project track state chunks into an internal 'cache' table (Lua script) with MediaTrack* as the key, and chunk as value. Then manipulating chunks in the cache by keys, discarding untouched chunks from cache, and then finally syncing/flushing the 'difference' back to project. Seems to work reliably and relatively fast, as long as the track count in difference stays relatively small, no matter the project size. Just hoping there won't be any 'sync difference errors' with this method, and my string manipulations arent't off.

I suppose, it's a philosophical question. I haven't checked functionality yet, but envelope points are not mentioned either. In that sense, envelopes are not relevant for project length, at this time?

I think I could add it. Iirc it's already on my todo list, so would be a good reason to do so.

Including automation items would be possible too.

I have no idea bout tempo map, as I never use it. Is the tempo map a regular envelope or something else?

Like we can set the group name based on VCA's name in one go.
just to make the groups easier to manage.
I would love to see this as an API function. Something like
SetGroupName(ReaProject project, int group_number, String name)

Does anyone know if there's already a way to set the group name via the API in the same way we can in the Grouping for n Selected Tracks dialog?

Is there any way to access global recording pass counter? I haven't found any API and would like to request for it

Default SetMediaFileMetadata

Wa have the nice GetMediaFileMetadata().
It would be great to have a SetMediaFileMetadata().

Write metadata would be useful, for example to preserve some iXML metadata after glue. Or to copy and paste some metadatas from one source take to another.


Please

I technically have this on some of my premium script (and not just BWF, all the chunks, iXML etc...) but this is really advanced stuff I don't even think it is on a public pack, cause adding filtering would need lot of custom code.



So yes having a Set metadata function would surely need less coding cause it could target specific metadata field / chunk more easily).

The devs once said, that they are very vary of functions, that change media files. Probably out of fear, messing things up.

I understand.
But technically, it is possible to manually edit metadatas via the Media Explorer (including BWF). Shouldn't it be more dangerous to do it via a script, right?

Default API Feature Request: custom modal dialog buttons

As of now, the MB() offers these button-choices for modal dialogs:

0, OK
1, OK CANCEL
2, ABORT RETRY IGNORE
3, YES NO CANCEL
4, YES NO
5, RETRY CANCEL

which is not so bad after all.
Nevertheless, best practice is to have the actual task/verb printed on the button instead of "OK" or "Yes".
Apple addressed this ages ago, this is from 1992 I guess:




To boost up the UX my suggestion would be to offer an "extended" MB() command, where I as the author of a script can define the text on the buttons to my liking. Bonus karma for giving us 3 or even 4 options if we wish.

Before:

"Do you want to save this file?"
[no] [yes]

after:
"Do you want to save this file?"
[cancel] [save as...] [save]

And an optional checkbox for stuff like "remember my choice for the future"

Default ProjectBay Access options

reaper.CountProjectBay(proj)
reaper.GetProjectBay(proj, idx)
reaper.GetProjectBayMediaItem(proj, bay, idx)

Also it'd be great if the folders in the bays could be accessed and enumerated?
