Not related to this fix but would it be possible to support opening audio files with Reaper via finder too at some point? Sorry for the offtopic.

Thanks!
But I also wrote about the glue actions names.
Action name "glue" in Item menu and in the action list represents different actions.
"Glue" in Item menu = "Item: Glue items, ignoring time selection" in action list
and
"Glue" in action list = "Glue items, within time selection" in Item menu.
It's not consistently.

Yeah, it's an old bug, but for user it's place close to the active state bug of actions with glue action among them.
I guess, it's easy to rename a couple things.

Is something went wrong in 6.40?

This change in 6.39 sort of added some sanity checking to themes, but it turns out there are a lot of user-created themes out there that don't exactly pass sanity checking, so it seemed better to revert the change and let those themes be not technically sane but still look OK.

"not technically sane, still looks ok" are words to live by.

Thank you! This issue (as i know) is about using pink markers for gen_ images. The reason to use markers for this images is different shapes of buttons in I/O window between different OS. 20x20 square on windows and about 20x22 on macOS, and that’s why these buttons on macOS looks stretched and blurry. I guess that good solution will be to match these buttons sizes between macOS and Windows versions of REAPER to make markers unnecessary in these places

There's a poetic soul inside that machine of code called Schwa

Regarding Menus: when razor edits exist, enable actions that will operate on razor edit areas (cut, copy, delete, duplicate, etc)

It would be nice if we could get an action like: "Split items at razor area (if exists), else at time selection (if exists), else at edit cursor (also during playback)"

amagalma · 11-10-2021, 02:24 PM

For shells like the WaveShell, GetNamedConfigParm with "fx_ident" returns the full path of the shell followed by a GUID:

Should it be like this?

I use this as my headline on a dating site.

That’s how it is in previous releases. The dev branch has some changes/extension, but the real thing is that it will be unique in that system and if you pass it to TrackFX_AddByName() it will add another instance of it etc

Try out my script "Smart split items by mouse cursor" from Reapack.
It goes a bit further and let you use mouse, edit cursor, time selection and razor area depends on their existing and placing.

steffensen · 11-11-2021, 01:22 AM

Here's hoping they fix the (imo) broken automation Link between plugins, as reported here:

Thanks AZ! Works like a charm!

WOW! really awesome! my default splitting tool now!

Stroudy · 11-11-2021, 04:03 AM

LUFS normalization for video doesn't work in the Batch File/Item Converter. Is that an error or just not supported yet?

Apologies - I had asked this question in a previous Pre-release thread but as it's a few iterations ago I thought perhaps the comments wouldn't be reviewed.

schwa · 11-11-2021, 04:10 AM

The video normalization feature isn't in RC1 at all, is it? That feature is still only in the +dev prerelease builds.

I had been looking for an action like this (or waiting for the SWS smart split version to be updated). This works perfectly, thanks, AZpercussion!

AZpercussion · 11-11-2021, 09:08 AM

I'm glad to hear that, guys!
Hope there will be API functions for media lanes, when they will released. So razor split will work properly and I'll get some freedom to experiment with it.

I see. Thank you!
