Performing script upon save

[mazegeek999]

Hi there,

Is it possible (through a defer() loop) to perform an action once a REAPER project is saved?

If the "save" command was in the undo history, I could continuously scan the most recent event in the undo history and wait for it to be a "save" command. Of course, saving has no place in the undo history, but that's the kind of logic I'm trying to apply here. Is there any place where save history is stored in REAPER?

EDIT: Apparently saving IS denoted in the undo history as "[LAST SAVE]". But I'm struggling to find where in the API to access that history. Can anyone help?

I haven't tried it but your best bet is probably Undo_CanUndo2.

returns string of last action,if able,NULL if not

This doesn't appear to return the "[LAST SAVE]" text, unfortunately.

This isnt'n the best way to handle this





Just check for IsProjectDirty and if not then save. and dont do it untill next save (chzck if dirty become false again).


Also, make this check only if the project has already been dirty once.
