New Script: Move selected items by X samples (+/-)

[Thonex]

Hi guys,

Didn't see anything like this in Reapack. The script moves selected items by however many samples (+/-) you choose. The script will also take into account the PROJECT sample rate and move the items accordingly.




Based on project sample rate:

function MOVE_BY_X_SAMPLES ()
  reaper.PreventUIRefresh(1)
  reaper.Undo_BeginBlock()

  num_sel_items =  reaper.CountSelectedMediaItems( 0 )
  
  if not ( num_sel_items > 0) then 
  reaper.ShowMessageBox( "No items were selected!", "Warning", 0 )
  return 
  end
  
  retval, offset = reaper.GetUserInputs( "Move Items By Samples", 1, "Offset Items by X samples:",0 )
  
  if retval == false then return end
  
  sr = reaper.GetSetProjectInfo( 0, "PROJECT_SRATE", 0, false )
  
  for i = 0, num_sel_items-1 do
  
      item = reaper.GetSelectedMediaItem(0, i)
      item_pos = reaper.GetMediaItemInfo_Value(item,"D_POSITION")     
      reaper.SetMediaItemInfo_Value( item, "D_POSITION", item_pos + (offset/sr) )
  
  end
  
  reaper.PreventUIRefresh(-1)
  reaper.Undo_EndBlock("Moved selected items by ".. offset.. " samples.", -1)
  
  
end


MOVE_BY_X_SAMPLES ()

Enjoy.

You probably should use project sample rate instead.

If your sample is 192000 and you move 1 sample forward while your project 44100, I`m not sure the movement would be correct (relative to project of course).

That's a good point. I was trying to cover all bases by having it adjust by item's SR... but I think project SR is more real-world. I'll update the original pos.

Thanks (as usual) mpl!

@Thonex
My Set item position order scripts already did that feature :P

But yes, good to have it in simple module like that.
