Default Insert FX action doesn't work if track is hidden in TCP (Fixed in v5.979)

Insert FX action and the Insert FX shortcuts don't work if the selected track is only visible in MCP, hidden in TCP.

Adding FX from the regular Track FX window will work both ways; when the selected track is hidden either in TCP or MCP. Also, these Insert FX actions do work when the track is visible in TCP and hidden in MCP. So it would be expected for these insert fx actions to work the other way around also.


Steps to reproduce:

If you don't yet have any insert FX shortcuts or actions;
* Open the Track FX window.
* Right-click over the effect you want to give a shortcut for, click Create shortcut and add your shortcut.
(Cancel will add just the Insert action to the Actions list.)

Open the Track Manager.
Untick TCP column for one of the tracks.
Select the same track in MCP.
Use the Insert FX shortcut or action.

Result: nothing happens.

Expected behavior: FX gets inserted to the selected track.

There's probably more than a few actions like this. E.g. I've noticed you can't use an encoder for scrolling to any tracks with hidden TCP with the action "view: go to track."

I came across this today. Really hope it can be fixed, as I hide tracks in the TCP all the time and usually use the mixer to add fx. So the fx shortcut feature is unreliable for me atm. BUMP!

Came across this before too. I made a reliable workaround using the actions XENAKIOS_SELNEXTTRACK and XENAKIOS_SELPREVTRACK in ReaLearn, and tweaked it so each action was triggered with the correct rotation direction of the encoder.

Here's the code that can be imported in to ReaLearn (for a rel2 cc60 encoder):

Code:
{
  "alwaysAutoDetectMode": true,
  "letMatchedEventsThrough": false,
  "letUnmatchedEventsThrough": true,
  "mappings": [
    {
      "controlIsEnabled": true,
      "feedbackIsEnabled": false,
      "mode": {
        "maxSourceValue": 1,
        "maxStepSize": 0.01,
        "maxTargetValue": 1,
        "minSourceValue": 0.70999999999999996,
        "minStepSize": 0.01,
        "minTargetValue": 0,
        "reverseIsEnabled": true,
        "rotateIsEnabled": false,
        "type": 1
      },
      "name": "1",
      "source": {
        "channel": 0,
        "character": 3,
        "is14Bit": false,
        "number": 60,
        "type": 0
      },
      "target": {
        "commandName": "XENAKIOS_SELNEXTTRACK",
        "invocationType": 0,
        "type": 0
      }
    },
    {
      "controlIsEnabled": true,
      "feedbackIsEnabled": false,
      "mode": {
        "maxSourceValue": 0.10000000000000001,
        "maxStepSize": 0.01,
        "maxTargetValue": 1,
        "minSourceValue": 0,
        "minStepSize": 0.01,
        "minTargetValue": 0,
        "reverseIsEnabled": false,
        "rotateIsEnabled": false,
        "type": 1
      },
      "name": "2",
      "source": {
        "channel": 0,
        "character": 3,
        "is14Bit": false,
        "number": 60,
        "type": 0
      },
      "target": {
        "commandName": "XENAKIOS_SELPREVTRACK",
        "invocationType": 0,
        "type": 0
      }
    }
  ],
  "sendFeedbackOnlyIfArmed": true
}

Just discovered this feature and thought "Great. I can now quickly and easily add my most used plugins with a simple key command". Then as xpander discovered, you are limited to only being able to do this if you have the track open in the track control panel. For a feature that is supposed to help speed up your workflow, this seems like a major oversight to me. For workflow reasons, I have to keep my track control panel view limited to tracks with MIDI or automation data. Time spent having to open a track in the TCP and then close it again afterwards, just to add FX, negates any benefit from using the Insert FX shortcut or action. I have fx sends channels and drum plugins with multi audio outs which I don't need opened in my track control panel. Almost all of these have fx on them. But I would have to open each one of them in the TCP to use the Insert FX shortcut or action on them.

Is there any sort of reason for the TCP needing to be open for the Insert FX shortcut or action to be used?
