This almost sounds like this is fixed:

But since there's no bug number I guess it's something else
Let me try that....

Default Thank you

Great stuff. Thank you for fixing the note color issue in the midi editor. The track offset stuff is fantastic as well. Just saying THANK YOU!

# Crossfades: make mouse hit testing behavior match display when fade-in and fade-out overlap

regarding mouse hit area stuff.

Please consider adding a advanced "hidden away" option in prefs to allow us to make the hit area bigger on editing/grabbing the edges of items and other small areas or link it to screen res if possible?

The higher and bigger my screen and resolution gets (over the years) the harder it is getting to accurately grab edges etc.

It's slowing down my editing on a daily basis now and after the 3rd "miss" at grabbing an edge, it drives me a bit crazy and I have to slow down to get it!

This is not just with a pen/wacom but also mouse.

Thanks!

Much better, although the last "t" in "Playback time offset" is still cut off

I´ve just realized CC drawing shows a serious regression during this dev cycle :


Up until v5.983, drawing extensive passages of CCs was easy. I remember reporting, ca. 2014-15, about the sluggishness of CC drawing in v4 cycle, and this was vastly improved at some point.



Look at v5.983 with aprox. 1000 bars and a far zoom level; drawing is just fluid :








Now, look at v5.983+dev0925, with only 300 bars or so; a complete nightmare. CC drawing has become immensely sluggish :






While it´s obvious that you have to draw with a close zoom level, once you have a lot of events in long MIDI item, graphical performance in the MIDI editor becomes really slow and almost unusable. It doesn´t matter if I remove redundant CCs with an action, it becomes unbearably slow.


In many contexts, and particularly with orchestral projects, it´s quite common to have hundreds of bars with detailed CC drawing. I seriously hope this can have an easy fix, since this new behaviour is really problematic for any kind of heavy MIDI work.

Hi, Soli Deo Gloria!

I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look at my "Quote" for your post: v5.983+dev0922 - September 22 2019

Thanks!!

Hi Edison! Sorry, it was the first time I posted a pre-release thread - hence, also my first time with X-Raym´s Changelog to BBCode -. I don´t understand the issue you describe there. If you can explain it to me in a "Changelog to BBCode for dummies" fashion, I´ll correct what it´s wrong... Besides, you quoted me in this thread. Does your former issue have anything to do with the issue I describe here regarding CC drawing?

Devs, another thing : Playback offset seems to be set, in devs 0922-0925, to a maximum of -500 / +500 ms, when it was set to 1000 ms before. Did you intentionally reduce the range? Because if it was by mistake, it´s not fixed yet...

I think knobs go to +/-500 but you can type in up to 1000 ms diff.

Yes - I have noticed this too - I often create huge MIDI items for testing performance of my scripts - and in the last few devs it has been terrible for large MIDI items. Freezes up - hourglass - wait wait wait - are then they appear.

Is this related to the inclusion of envelope style lollipop CC's?

Well, I hope it can be easily fixed, then, since it is a serious regression/bug.

Well, in that case it must be a consistency issue, isn't it? Rather confusing, in my opinion...

I'm having issues with scripts that use BR_GetMouseCursorContext since I changed to one of these latest dev builds. It seems to happen when I'm near the bottom of the project and zoom out a bit so there is empty space at the bottom. Will only work at certain zoom levels

You need to use the SWS build from Landoleet, it has some fixes for Breeder's actions.

Hi, Soli Deo Gloria
I'll try:

I work translating REAPER into Brazilian Portuguese (Br), and through the String Calculator: Link https://landoleet.org/i8n/string_calculator.html is generated a code (HASHCHARACTERS=string value) referring to typed string.

But in your Post v5983+dev0923 there is a string that must or should be in the "section [undo]" of the ReaperLangPack file. This string may have the wrong code, so it is not possible to translate it.
See the pics.

Some images say more than 1000 words!!

Thanks!!

Thanks, I'm using this build actually but still getting errors. I reverted to 5.983 and the issue went away

I wanna say these errors weren't happening in previous dev builds of 5.983 just started happening more recently

@Nostrap

What exactly doesn't work?
Can you name or post a script that broke with this dev build?

These scripts will work sometimes, but changing the track zoom especially when near the bottom of the project will break them. It's somewhat finicky, so you have to zoom in and out and test a few times to get it to happen. They will either work on the wrong item or do nothing at all. It's like they are looking at the wrong place.

mpl_Set fadein of item under cursor to mouse position.lua

RCJacH_Delete content under mouse (contextual).lua

I just checked the build I was using before this one and they were also having issues with dev 0922

Thanks.

I had a thought about

Quote:
# Envelopes: volume envelopes default to fader scaling for users who have never changed the display preference
because there's a bug in current SWS (and the version on Landoleet) related to fader scaled volume envelopes and some SWS envelope functions but that's probably not it then.

edit:
For reference:
https://github.com/reaper-oss/sws/issues/1126

(fixed for next SWS version)
