Insert new empty track.lua [LUCKY LUKE thanks to J Reverb]

[TonE]

Its purpose is being independent from your default setting for creating a new track, this should always create an empty new track, no matter what is your default setting. It seems there is no such action or lua yet. Thus mentioning it here, as a new idea. To be developed, by whom, time will tell.

[J Reverb]

This is about as empty as it gets...

default=0 (empty)
default=1 (with default settings)

default=0

function insert_empty_track()

      local SelTrack = reaper.GetSelectedTrack(0,0)
      local tr_num = reaper.GetMediaTrackInfo_Value(SelTrack, 'IP_TRACKNUMBER')
        reaper.InsertTrackAtIndex(tr_num, default)
  end
  
insert_empty_track()

It's a good place to start if your learning LUA ...

Thanks, ah, this line 17 in me2beats_Create child track.lua was causing the problem then.

PHP Code:

r.InsertTrackAtIndex(num,1) 


So I need to use its 0 variant in my new folderify then, to make it independent of new track settings.

[J Reverb]

Yes that's for default settings

reaper.InsertTrackAtIndex(integer idx, boolean wantDefaults)
inserts a track at idx,of course this will be clamped to 0..GetNumTracks(). wantDefaults=TRUE for default envelopes/FX,otherwise no enabled fx/env

Thanks, anyway, my new folderify is here: https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.ph...94&postcount=2
