Script Req - (re)Name all Takes
Hey guys,
I was hoping maybe if this was possible, someone would be inclined to give it a try. I'm actually surprised there is no way to do this (unless I'm missing something, please let me know).
Basically I just want to name all the takes in an item in one go. As it is, all the naming actions, if the item has multiple takes, only name the active one. I deal with items that have potentially 10-15 takes, so a way to name them all in one go would be suuuuuper useful
If anyone has any thoughts or insights that maybe I'm not aware of, that would be great too!
Thanks!

SWS action perhaps?
Xenakios/SWS: Rename Takes..
And there are also several variations for naming takes

There really is no action for that. You could try to "Explode takes", then rename them with "Xenakios/SWS: Auto-rename selected takes..." and then implode them back.
Or if you would provide here some more info how it would ideally function for you, I could try to script something. Or maybe combine that SWS action with a custom script.

Yes, more info needed how it should work I think.
Rename all takes with a fixed expression or would wildcards be needed etc.

Indeed, there is a small tickbox in the right bottom corner for processing all takes. This should be sufficient then.

Hey me2beats, I was wondering if you could add a little tweak possibly?
Could it be made that when running the script, the name field is automatically filled with the active takes name?
This would be really handy, for just appending things, or making little corrections. I am noticing it happens quite a bit actually, where it would be nice to have the name retained in the field by default.
I guess the super fancy way would be the name is retained, and selected/highlighted in the name field upon running the script. That way you you just start typing if you want a new name, or cursor left or right if you want to append/prepend something. I'm not really requesting that, though I was just referring to similar functions like that in other apps/programs.
Whatever works is fine by me, thanks!

Hi, do you think someone could script something like the Label Processor for track names?

Hi!
It's easy to do. What arguments do you want?
like /F == First item name, /V = Track volume etc

Good to hear! I go for the complex one, then you choose what to do. Anything better than nothing.
I'd say
/E[digits,first] enumerate in selection
/I[digits,first] inverse enumerate
/K item counts
/D duration until end of last item
/V Track volume fader
/P Track Pan (e.g. 35%L, 100%W)
/It first item name
/N track number
/L current label. It could have optional parameters to edit existing track name in square bracket such as [SUB "xxxxx" "yyyyy", TRIM_R x, TRIM_L x, OFFSET x, LENGTH x]. SUB substitutes string, TRIM_R and TRIM_L deletes x chars from right or left, OFFSET,LENGTH only takes x characters from OFFSET char of string. Empty values could be no parameter
So for example
Kick /L ["MD421" "",,,5,99] - /E[2,01]
Would rename "Drum MD421 Take A" "Kick Take A - 01"
