Excited to try this out!

Am I misinterpreting this, or does this mean that the auto-scroll feature has been improved, or am I just reading too far into it?

Fix confirmed, thanks!

Btw, I did have the render block size blank, but not the that Asio option ticked.

That's not a particularly motivating thing to say.

It's minor to keep things going. They are working on much much more stuff, but it's not ready yet.
You don't want unfinished things in a release, believe me.

@devs
Out of curiosity: why did you work with prefixes for noprompt and load as template in Main_openProject and not with an optional bitfieldparameter? I would think, a bitfield would be easier to do...

And can you combine both options?

Edit:
There seems to be a problem with the API-function GetAudioDeviceInfo.
When I enter a faulty samplerate in WASAPI, it doesn't return device-infos anymore, even if I change to a valid one, like ASIO.
It needs a restart to work again, but only, if I choose a different device than WASAPI. Otherwise, it keeps continuing not to work.

Don't know if it's a regression or if it had been in previous versions too.

Tested on Windows 7, Reaper 5.983rc3(x64)

Here is a LiceCap about that:

mespotine looking at your gif, .. i wonder if Audio Device Setttings would also benefit by having presets like for rendering !

So that we make this scriptable and called by an action as rendering now is.

I think an optional bitfield parameter would maybe also have been slightly more practical for scripters, because taking my example from previous post

Code:
reaper.Main_openProject("template:H:/_dev/REAPER/REAPER_X64/ProjectTemplates/01.RPP")
if this is run in an older Reaper version (before 'template:' prefix was supported) it's included in the path which then is no longer correct of course.
So I think we have to check which Reaper version is currently running to use it properly, while a set bit could have been probably just ignored by older Reaper version I guess? (and the project loaded normally, i.e. not as template, if that's desired)

(Btw, not complaining, thanks for adding it, just brainstorming.. )

@deeb
Problem is, there's no way to set that stuff, without ugly hacking.
I looked into that yesterday and refrained from that quickly.

I think, we need something like SetAudioDeviceInfo or something. I think, it had been requested somewhere already, so that's your place to add a +1 and I'll add that stuff to my API

Give me a note, if you find that, so I can add a +1 too

Checking the REAPER version is probably a good idea anyway, because I imagine if template: is not supported you'd want to do other logic to workaround that issue...

yeah I know..
I just thought that this could make big improvement and shouldn't be that hard to do for justin and schwa. They are so good at what they do, but for so many years already and the GUI is still not attractive enough.

I'm sorry justin and schwa, never meant to hurt you...just hard to wait :/

edit: btw I'm using 43" monitor @ 4k. and can't changed the fonts of the fx browser and the media browser from reaper itself, this is really hard for my eyes. (Even tho i actually prefer an option to show small images for plugins instead of looking for names, 1 iconic image explain and reminds what this plugin can do for you in much better way)

[AS AN OPTION] I would be really happpy to see a native visual plugin list so it will be easy to save a snapshot of a plugin in to the list and easy to manage and use.
example:

Default Linked audio clips

I know this may not be the appropriate thread to post this but I believe that this thread being for a pre-release version of Reaper may be the faster way to get attention to this.
I so much love how Reaper can duplicate midi item whilst still being linked in such a way that whatever happens to one clip happens to all the others. Can't we have the same thing happen for audio clips?
I want to be able to copy an audio clip whilst being linked such that whatever fx I put in one clip as clip-fx will automatically appear on all the other linked clips too.

This is nice.
Something like this will truly be a life saver in Reaper. Along with a much more attractive UI.

I know it's not exactly what you're requesting but the "Propagate to..." actions work really well for that purpose.

Yes, this is not appropriate, if it's not directly related to pre-release stuff.
Please post into the Feature-Request-forum, as otherwise your request gets lost in old pre-release-threads and will never see the light of the day.

The don't post feature-requests in here-rule is there for a reason...

Default Crash with Reaper 5.983

I hope this is the right place to post this.

I got 2 crashes with 5.983 (I hadn't updated Reaper in 3 months before that)
Here's a screenshot of the error message:



I think it happened twice in the midi editor, using my usual composing template.
Is there a dump file I can find and upload as well for the devs?

Thanks,
Arnaud

When this happens, don’t close the box, go to the task manager, right click reaper, choose “create dump file”, then zip and upload and send a link to that file to support at cockos dot com, thanks!
