layout mod help request

[gwok]

hey, I'm just looking to do a quick mod on these layouts. I always end up spending so long making small tweaks in walter, I figured I'd just post and hopefully save some time.

I have these 2 custom mixer layouts, and I would like to somehow display the folder state. I know there's there parameters to indicate a tracks folder status, but I've never used it before. I'm sure to someone who know, it's just a matter of one line of code. Maybe someone can clue me in - cheers

Layout "Sidebaronly" "sidebaronly"

clear mcp.*
set mcp.size [70 315]

set mcp.volume [43 2 20 20]
set mcp.mute [3 2 17 18 0 0 0 0]
set mcp.solo [22 2 17 18 0 0 0 0]
set mcp.meter <10 [2 298 65 14 0 1 0 1]


set mcp.label.margin [2 0 2 0 0.5]
set mcp.label.color ?recarm [217 74 74] [184 184 184]

set mcp.extmixer.mode [1]
set mcp.extmixer.position [0 45 70 260 20 0 0 1]
set mcp.label [1 29 70 18 0 0 0 0]
set mcp.meter.readout.color [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]


EndLayout ; end of "Sidebaronly"

Layout "Sidebaronlythin" "sidebaronlythin"

clear mcp.*
set mcp.size [38 315]

set mcp.volume [9 2 20 20]
set mcp.meter <10 [2 298 32 14 0 1 0 1]


set mcp.label.margin [2 0 2 0 0.5]
set mcp.label.color ?recarm [217 74 74] [184 184 184]

set mcp.extmixer.mode [1]
set mcp.extmixer.position [0 45 70 260 20 0 0 1]
set mcp.label [1 27 37 18 0 0 0 0]
set mcp.meter.readout.color [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]


EndLayout ; end of "Sidebaronlythin"

The folder icon is displayed using, e.g mcp.folder and you can test for the state of the track using folderstate

set mcp.folder ?folderstate [68 350 20 16 0 1 0 1] [0]
; displays the folder icon only if the track is a folder

May I recommend my "anchor points, too?

cool, and will that incorporate the proper display of wether the track is a parent, child or last track in the folder?

thanks

Down the back of the WALTER Themer's Guide:

folderstate:
folder state of track, if applicable (0 for normal, 1 for
folder, -n for last track in folder(s))

So if I understand correctly, you would need different tests
?folderstate is true for a folder
!folderstate is true for an ordinary track
folderstate<0 is true for the last track in the folder

Another variable, folderdepth is positive if the track is in a folder (it represents how many folders deep is the track). So, for all child tracks folderdepth>0 is true

cool, I knew there was probably a little know how involved. Thanks for the insight DS
