reaper.Main_SaveProject(path)

[Archie]

Hi! Here's my function request:

reaper.Main_SaveProject(proj,forceSaveAsIn,path)

I think it would be useful to be able to save projects along the specified path. Now, if forceSaveAsIn is set to true, then a window opens with the last used path, but there is no way to enter our path, which is very uncomfortable.

This is exactly what I was looking for today ... and did not find.

So, yes:

For example: Here is one example.
I decided to make a script to open a project template.
First, the folder ProjectTemplates opens, then I choose a template and a window opens about saving, and here the path to the folder ProjectTemplates is saved, and it is not possible to open your path, which is very uncomfortable. And if you do not specify the path, the project template resaves itself, which is categorically not necessary.

    local Path = reaper.GetResourcePath().."/ProjectTemplates";
    local retval,fileNames = reaper.JS_Dialog_BrowseForOpenFiles("Open ProjectTemplates",Path,"","",false);
    if retval == 0 or fileNames == "" then return end;
    reaper.Main_openProject(fileNames);
    reaper.Main_SaveProject(0,true);

Another one would be having the option to automatically save copies of a project onto another volume for archival purposes, maybe even using git for it.
So you can have automatic backups of projects not stored in the projectfolder.

I would suggest additional parameters too, with whom we can customize the other options in the save-project-as-dialog as well.

That's what I was trying to do.
