This looks great!

+ Media explorer: support customizable floating toolbar

Could this new toolbar be also dockable into MEx? Similarly to how the main MIDI toolbar is docked into MIDI editor.

That is awesome - thanks for this!

[bFooz]

+1 for request in MEx for "Open with" submenu. Or at least an action to "open with default program".

For example, gifs can be loaded into Reaper so I cannot open them in a picture viewer.

I've noticed that the folder context and file context (and preview context) are missing. The file context is probably the most used one.

[mabian]

Maybe we should use MX for Media Explorer and ME for MIDI Editor to avoid all sorts of ambiguity...

Thanks a lot!!!!

There is no new images in theme

[mccrabney]

moving AS is creating extra AI - dragging a single AS across multiple tracks creates multiple, duplicate AI that move outside of the AS.

behavior gifs and steps below





1- create volume AI at beginning of track
2- create MIDI item
3- make area selection that does not include the AI
4- move your AS vertically to a higher number track, and then return it.
note- the more tracks over which you drag your selection, the more AI are created

issue: non-area-selected AI are created, moved and duplicated.

Customize menu doesn't work in shortcut list context, selected shortcut context and database context.

I removed "Sort shortcuts(toggle order)" from those 3 context menu


But it's still there

Hmm, I can't seem to reproduce this. It must depend on some particular set of preferences.

[mccrabney]

^ this occurs with "Options: Trim content behind automation items when editing or writing automation" on, and does not occur with it off.

[schwa]

Can you post or email a simple project and also your reaper.ini please?

Anychance a quick list of images and UI elements and I will get on testing them all for you, WALTER page currently only has this tcp.fxembedheader.color: FX Embed Header Color listed.

Just dock the two together, then create an action to open both, that is what I did here.






@justn and schwa
Thanks for all this Media Explorer work, so much slicker experience from all this stuff.

[EvilDragon]

While at Media Explorer, it would be prudent to fix the vertical alignment issues in most controls above the waveform preview...



This was mentioned already but I'd like to reinforce the point that it's important. It looks all over the place here and it can be so much better. For example:



* everything is centered vertically around the transport buttons
* text follows the same baseline, both for all the labels, the text in dropdown menu, and the value edit fields for Pitch and Rate (that text in particular is not properly centered within the value edit window at all)
* horizontally center the text in the Pitch/Rate value edits
* obviously the volume slider should follow the same vertical center baseline as transport buttons, and dB value label the baseline of other text. I didn't include it here because the image would end up being too wide
* the Pitch value edit could be a bit wider so that it can fit the -12.00 value without it looking cramped as it does now (this is not mocked up above but can be established empirically)

[Mr. Data]

Sorry for spoiling the party, but whenever I read/see something about alignment, I get quite antsy and this time, while slightly coughing, I bashfully dare to remind you, how beautifully misaligned elements in most localized dialog windows are.

Original US-English:





Same dialog localized to German:




Where should I put the red guide lines?

[EvilDragon]

Poor compounded languages

But the layout of the whole Preferences dialog and all its pages is quite inconsistent and in places atrocious, anyways, even for English.

[ovnis]

Hello,

How to fix this blurred button and text ?

[White Tie]

These new TCP sends are the height of a param, not of the MCP send they inherit theme settings from, so its scaling up a smaller knob and a small pixel font. To look their best they need to use the new theming elements we're just now getting.

[ovnis]

Ok.Thanks.

[bFooz]

Could this possibly be made so that when the element is taken from MCP (as is gonna be the case for virtually all of the existing themes now), it is properly visually scaled.

IMO it would be best if also the whole clickable are - fx insert slot - was scaled to match MCP. If this is not possible, visual scaling is the next best option. This is even already done in the default theme.

Sure, this is an option, but it's more of a workaround. Does work only for specific docked positions, not floating MExp, plus you need to keep track of coherency of visible states of MExp and the toolbar.

I meant the original request so the toolbar is hard-attached to the MExp. There are floating toolbars already.

Bug - righ-click on the MExp toolbar -> Position -> there's MIDI editor line which shouldn't probably be there and it's not working anyway.

[AlexLazer]

Please add autocrossfades when split by Area Selection.
Thanks.

[Ericson]

Again a laggy GUI, this time in the TCP send controls
Controlling from the inspector and the mixer goes fine

[ovnis]

hello,

Is it possible to have a specific *.png for tcp send slot, please ?

Actually, mcp and tcp share the same image file.

---------

Is it possible to add the option "always open FX inside an FX window" ?

[EvilDragon]

That's what this entry is about:

# Theme support: add 15 new tcp_sendlist and tcp_master_sendlist images

[ovnis]

I have decompressed "Default_6.0", but I'm not able to find thoses news *.png for the TCP send slot.

List of the TCP files inside the theme file:

Hello,

This bugs continues to happen:

Reaper freezes/crashes when we make a drag&drop with an audio file inside the media explorer.

[ovnis]

[EvilDragon]

Probably same as their mcp_sendlist counterparts, just with tcp in their name.

I can't reproduce this with +dev0712.

Of course not; I get these builds at the same time as you and everyone else. Even on my best day I'm always going to be one pre version behind.

[ovnis]

Probably same as their mcp_sendlist counterparts, just with tcp in their name.

Thx. It seems to work with tcp_sendlist_norm.png

If this is 0712, please make a dump file of the hang (run task manager, right click REAPER, choose "Create Dump File") then email a link to a zip of that dump file to support at cockos dot com, thanks!

Hello Mr. Data

I think that misalignment is not just your privilege!

Same dialog localized to Portuguese Brazilian:

With a very big data base, the bug happens.
