Default Is it possible to save out FX for Reaper please help?

Hi. I would like to save a plain text file with the following information in it, by default, in the project folder.

Name of Reaper project
Date of save last change
FX used in project
Preset names if applicable - not essential but I prefer.

How can I export this without going crazy? I can't solve this.


(not quite what I ask, mpl_Save selected tracks FX chains please?)

proof of concept.txt
=====================

Project Name #1
2019-09-19

Track 1:
Serum
ReaVerb

Track 2:
Massive

Track 3:
ReaSynth (preset: CoolSynth)

etc.

Is there a way to like grep out something from the mpl script is that easier?
Like from the FX chain saved files from mpl, extract the lines like
mpl_Save selected tracks FX chains

FILENAME
VST "VSTi: Massive (Native Ins)"
PRESETNAME NewSoundDefault

Is that easier to do please?
I feel like the data is there I just cannot learn how to put it into a text file by itself.

Hello there. I was hoping the MPL script may be modified to simply output a text file of the list of FX and presets in project folder. Not sure if LUA is able to handle this but I sure hope

This is brilliant and exactly what I was hoping it could be. Wow. If you can add the master, that would be heavenly. However, is it possible to change the output txt file name to something other than the literal project.rpp.txt name? Just like %projectname% - Project FX and Presets.txt or something.

Also do you have a paypal donate script link?

Can the text file name included the string "Project Plugins" as well as what you have now?
ie
"My Techno Jam - Project Plugins.txt"
or something like that
just add the phrase project plugins to the text's file name.

Project Name + "Project Plugins" . txt

Just take what you already have and add a string to the file's name

myreaperproject - project plugins.rpp.txt

How about the format, 'ProjectName.RPP - Project Plugins.txt'
or , 'ProjectName - Project Plugins.txt'
?

BTW, you don't need to quote the code in every reply.

Sorry I'm slow but not by design.

'ProjectName - Project Plugins.txt' would be great!

Bloody hell this is perfect!! I am incapable of thanking you enough. Workflow masterpiece. Will you reapack this? You should. You scripters are just amazing.

It's perfect in my eyes!*


* one question, how difficult would it be to have a new line of ---- below each track name just for visual clarity?

Track 1: Piano
-----------------

Track 2: Synth
-----------------

Damn. You got the ---- to be the length of the track names? AH you are amazing. Thank you so much for this. I know many of us will use it. MANY. Perfecto!

Go to actions, and load it as a ReaScript and you will be good to go. It will appear in actions list then. It's awesome.

wonder if Edgemeal can add the ability for the lua to print or save as the text to a text file?

sure we can copy and paste, but what if???

oh? I did not know that... I guess that is fine then

EDIT: something seems amiss... when I run it on a new project it works OK
but then just tried on a collaboration project ... that project loads with a few plugins missing since the
creator has a few that I don't have.. and the lua when run does not put up a window and nothing gets saved to the project folder

am I doing something wrong???

I think what I mean earlier is that it could write the info to the Project Notes ... that would make sense to me, no?

I added to Edgemeal's code above the following to have disabled FX marked as such

Code:
    local enabled =  reaper.TrackFX_GetEnabled(track, fx)
    if presetname ~= "" then  -- add track fx name and preset name
      t[#t+1] = (enabled and "" or "* ") .. fx_name .. " Preset: " .. presetname
    else
      t[#t+1] = (enabled and "" or "* ") .. fx_name
    end
This writes an asterisk before a disabled FX.

I've tried it so far working on all projects new and 5 years old. But I agree I would LOVE for the project notes to have that written to. What a lifesaver! But the text file in the project folder is very handy too for archival so I can't complain

Hey Hopi,

I just added the extra code to the project txt file lua and works here, just copy this to a new LUA file

Does it have to overwrite all project notes though? I think that's dangerous no? Is there an append function with new line maybe?

thanks to you both Edge and Lowell...

I do have a thought or two...

It seems like if the project is not yet saved and I run the lua, it puts up it's own text window... makes sense cuz there is no project notes yet...

But IF the project has been saved, it runs but shows no indication that it has run... so a user [dumb one like me] could think nothing happened and try to run it again... hahahaha and doing that writes another copy to the the project notes each time

I guess what would be more ideal for dummies like me, would be for it ask, "write project note"... "overwrite project notes" or "append to project notes"....
...or minimally give some indication that it did run....

I hope I'm making some sense....

I like it being silent so I can continue editing the project without having to stop what I'm doing and grab my mouse and click a dialog box pop up but I see your point But I'm glad I got the ball rolling!

Edge... I'm with you I think... changed my mind about project notes as I can always copy and paste into that as wanted....

after finding it silently put 3 copies into the Project notes that I had to go delete... I think the separate file would be better...

I too could have good use of this script. But when running in my Win7 x64 Reaper v5.962 (will update after some heavy project's are finished) I get this at line 70 "bad argument #2 to 'GetTrackName' (string expected, got no value)".
To old Reaper version maybe?

This version also can show the text file in Windows notepad after created, you'll need to uncomment the line of code near bottom.

API Documentation
v5.962,
Lua: boolean retval, string buf = reaper.GetTrackName(MediaTrack track, string buf)
v5.983,
Lua: boolean retval, string buf = reaper.GetTrackName(MediaTrack track)

Why the change ??
Hm, well I still get an error msg om my "old" Reaper but going to update soon so I guess I can wait
This script will be useful, thanks.

IOW if other API functions changed or its something in your project we overlooked and is messing up the code. Can you zip and post a copy of the project file? We only need the .RPP file, remove any midi items from the copy also.

Get error msg on every project. Tested on a complex project and a couple of freshly created containing only one or two sound files. I'll try and attache v0.04/0.06 err msg screen dumps.
Reaper v5.962. Can send a RPP also if you need.

You can alternatively get track names through GetSetMediaTrackInfo_String() using the P_NAME attribute.

This is a very handy script.

I've not run v:0.07, as the previous one seemed to work ....

but here's a cosmetic question.

Is it possible to put the TRACK name in BOLD type ? and if so ... maybe some other Main info as well [main project name, etc] for example ?

In a plain text file? No.
But you can use a markup style if you wanted with asterisks or pound signs perhaps I'm sure.

I thought about that but wasn't sure it was viewed as useful compared to a plain text file viewable in simple notepad. Why not markup and HTML and ASCII art? jk

I, for one, would not restrict the GURU's and their creations ... BUT ..

keep the 'Plain Text' available
