* v1.4.6 (2022-02-16)
# use new API function to save track templates +v6.48

Edit: Okay it turns out that feature requires the dev version of Reaper. The original post mentioned that - but I assumed that it would have been part of the 6.48 release. I've never used dev versions before. I guess despite the name / release notes, it's still considered a dev-only feature?

---

I am wanting to using this script for studio one-style music loops the way that pcp described in this post.

I created a few tracks, selected them, and ran "Save as Track Template." I got an error message: "You need REAPER v6.48 to save track templates from the script." I was running on 6.51, but I downgraded to 6.48 and got the same error.

I'm on MacOS 10.15.7. Track Templates 1.4.6

I have disabled all of the screenshot-related options, still getting the error.

Any ideas?

Ha I feel you, I came here to check the same thing. Right now I'm just doing it the old-fashioned way and hoping that the new API will be pushed out soon to the stable channel, as I don't fancy installing the dev.

EDIT: And thanks to Heda and Schwa for getting this sorted in the native codebase so quickly. Bonkers.

Hi Heda.

I noticed that if you've rename a track template ("Rename...") it doesn't rename the OGG file and the preview is broken.

Apologies if I've addressed this before and it can't be fixed

Thanks

Default v1.4.8 (2022-08-24)

* v1.4.8 (2022-08-24)
+ Rename audio previews when renaming a template
# fix refresh audio preview buttons when saving a template

* v1.4.7 (2022-08-23)
+ Option to automatically add tags to the template if the track is already tagged in Track Inspector.


a couple of small updates...
automatic tags works only when saving templates of a single track or multiple tracks with the option to save as individual templates. Otherwise it will tag all tracks in the template with the tags of the first selected track. It's a limitation for now.. maybe it can be improved later.

This did not work. I get the new message "Cannot load...".

I reverted back to my original install with the initial error message. I'll just keep it as it is.

I don't know what "Cannot load..." message is. can you be more specific? Windows? MacOS? Linux? Did you completely remove the HeDaScripts Manager folder to install the new one?

I am on Windows 10 and latest version of Reaper. As I have removed the new install of HeDaScripts update, I can't tell you exactly what it said.

Yes I did delete the HeDaScripts folder and cleared the cache before the install.

Default Screenshots of plugins on Windows

I saw a while back there was a Linux capability to generate screen shots.

Couldn't find anything like this for Windows. There is an old standalone tool :

VST-Plugin Screenshot Tool

Found it on the Wayback machine, and it works great, but sadly only for 32 bit VSTs

Any thoughts on how to go about this? Perhaps there's a lightweight VST host which has command line support that could be scripted?

It depends if you need to screenshot 100 vsts or 2 or 3... You can always manually screenshot them and save the PNG with the same name as the template in their folder. It is not as hard to do with some specific capture software like shareX or any other really. They can automatically capture the window or a rectangular region.

I am very happy with the VIP version, as I wasn't expecting it to be so much more advanced. Well worth the donation if anyone's considering it.

I think the built in capture functionality is great and wasn't expecting it because I understood it was on Linux only (Right click -> Set Screenshot).

About my plugins, I haven't counted but it's way more than 100. I am a hoarder

I also cling on to a large number of 32 bit synths that I still find unique and valuable, hence I rely on Reaper's superb bridged mode for these.

The only thing that is an issue now is that the set screenshot tool is not working for me when trying it with a bridged 32bit VST.

Known issue or just me?

thank you
I haven't tried bridged plugins. it may not detect the window to screenshot correctly. but I was able to screenshot a window plugin bridged into linux with yabridge and I suspect it should be the same. strange. try the option to embed bridged plugins instead of floating window.
or maybe the best is to screenshot them manually. you only have to do it once

in other words, it will be really useful if track templates could save chains with links between parameters. (just like default fx chains are being saved)

investigating the issue... strange. it would help me if you can send the track in a small project .RPP file.

edit:
ah I see the images now...I tried linking two parameters and it works for me... but I think I may change something for a possible fix.

Hi,

as I am wanting to reorganize my plugins, and really need visual feedback, I decided to give Heda Track Templates another go, as it was working pretty well.

I launch it (vs1.3pre6 it says) and all my plugins are there, excellent.
But I have no idea how to insert a plugin, I try "insert", but does not work.
It does something though... it totally empties my current fx chain!

Wanted to find some documentation but could not find anything more than the single page online (from 2017).

I decided that oh well I can renew my "VIP subsciription" even if I don't like this 6 months thing; and now it just says that it can't connect to the server...

Oh well... this FR request about having a visual fx chooser has been there since ages, and I am still back to my good old text thing. It works well, but having screenshots can sometimes trigger new options "hey, if I tried this one..."

@winbe if you get the error connecting to the server, please try deleting the manager script folder and redownload and install latest version from the website.

hey heda
after the last update I have a bug:
it happens in some of my templates scripts:

when I untick the favorites I don't see any of my saved fx chains
AND even worse, when I remove an fx chain from the favorites I can't see it anymore.

also some of my templates suddenly don't show up.

update: I still got this error about contacting the server...

and I could use my old version, but I don't remember how I should "insert" a fx onto the current track...

So back to the good old methods with the built in fx browser...

I couldn't reproduce it.
Could you try to move your configuration files elsewhere and start the script? that way it will reset all to defaults and may fix the issue? the files are in "Track Templates VIP settings" folder

Quite frustrating to have used the product with pleasure in the fact, pay (ok, small) a donation and being forced to give up using the product...

FR:

Ability to show the templates inside a folder as a list:

simple (sizeable) text list with a play button before each name.

maybe also minimize the image to a really small square according to the size of the text and put it near the play button.

this will really save the day with my busy folders.


thanks for everything!
