Looking very good so far. Track list and Mixer Snapshots working good. Thank you very much Tim!

Mercado_Negro · 10-30-2009, 03:45 PM

Oh my! I'm so happy for you and the Mac guys. Extensions are the secret weapon to work 80% faster with Reaper... now you have it! Hope everything goes well!

sws · 10-30-2009, 03:47 PM

Oh, and one more issue, the menu items don't respond correctly, this will be fixed with the soon-to-be-released 3.131pre3.

gofer · 10-30-2009, 04:53 PM

Awesome, a milestone! Party time

musicbynumbers · 10-30-2009, 05:17 PM

this is great news for all my students with macs who after seeing reaper really wanted to get it going! now with your extensions they can REALLY get things going!

semiquaver · 10-30-2009, 05:46 PM

how did I live without SWS Snapshots!

Kainer · 10-30-2009, 05:51 PM

Actions Horizontal zoom to selected items and Zoom to selected items are not working here. Toggle zoom to selected item only zooms out not in.

Is it only me?

Intel mac, 10.5.8
Reaper 3.13

Woo Hoo for Halloween! I've been really needing these. Thank you, Tim.
You're the best!

Nope, not just you, those are going to be difficult to implement. I may have to remove them for now.

I can't get these working on my Mac PPC 1.5ghz with OS 10.4.11
I have put the extensions in the right place, but nothing is showing up in the menus like on the PC version.

Are they compatible with my OS?

Is the reaper exe also in the same folder (applications i think?).

you can "pm" if you need to

They should be - I think semiquaver is PPC 10.5 and it works for him, anyone with 10.4.x working OK?

semiquaver · 10-31-2009, 09:15 AM

the extensions are (mostly) working over here on PPC 10.5

Nothing is appearing in the Extensions menu, but all the Xenakios/sws actions are available inthe actions window.

The SWS menu items are where expected...

robertpaulelliott · 10-31-2009, 11:34 AM

Been waiting for this plug for so long! So stoked to have it!

kerryg · 10-31-2009, 06:03 PM

excellent thing you're doing here - thanks!

Can't get them to show up yet - Reaper 3.13 OSX, checked my file path several times, rebuilt permissions. Any suggestions?

edited to add - dual G5 PPC running Mac OS 10.4.11.

sws · 10-31-2009, 08:46 PM

Sounds like perhaps a 10.4 issue. Anyone at all having success with 10.4?

Kainer · 11-03-2009, 09:07 AM

If I use alt+command+F (close all floating windows) reaper crashes everytime I have the sws-tracklist, sws-markerlist or sws-mixersnapshot window open.
Can someone confirm that one?

Intel mac, 10.5.8
Reaper 3.13pre4

Redownload the latest version (here), does that fix the problem?

Kainer · 11-03-2009, 01:31 PM

That fixed the problem

Kundalinguist · 11-03-2009, 02:23 PM

Very useful stuff here, Tim. Thanks.

I've got a G5 running Tiger and it works fine here. The 3131 pre's are currently a bit crashy, but the SWS menu works now and so do the commands. This has ONLY worked with 3131 pre 4 and not versions prior.

*Removed*
Oh man, I must've been blind. Never mind.

Kainer · 11-04-2009, 08:31 AM

Newest version:
Reaper crashes reproducable while recalling screensets which include the tracklist and mixersnapshots.
In an empty project.

Yup, windows bug too

Fixed in build #13, please redownload.

Now for the good news - most everything is working in build #13 - Color and zoom actions specifically.

Just a couple more things and we'll be out of beta. Thanks everyone for their testing help.

Kainer · 11-04-2009, 12:28 PM

Done

Thanx.

Great work.

Reaper 3.14rc2 crashes on 'insert media file from clipboard'.

MBP intel 10.6.1

frankvg · 11-06-2009, 12:39 AM

Installed latest SWS extensions. No crashes but no insert either...

sws · 11-06-2009, 09:19 AM

"Insert media file from clipboard" may not be what you expect. It's when you copy a *full file name* in text format to the clipboard, then you can paste it in.

EvilDragon · 11-06-2009, 09:20 AM

sws, with your latest build, that command copied the actual file (it was MIDI in this case) that was in the clipboard. So that's a nice fix! (Windows here, though)

sws · 11-06-2009, 09:34 AM

Yeah in Windows you can copy a file from explorer and paste in Reaper with that command. Not sure how to make that work on OSX

No, that wasn't really what I expected.

It just an action I originally added for my own twisted purposes. There's many other things too that might seem silly and weird because they were added for my own use or on some particular request from someone else.

Your nickname should be EvilXenakios, then

sws · 11-06-2009, 02:58 PM

Alright, as far as I can tell everything is working with the OSX extension. Beta period over!

Kundalinguist · 11-06-2009, 03:23 PM

So the last one was the Master Beta? [doh].

Kainer · 11-06-2009, 03:47 PM

In Reaper 3.14 (official download) I can no longer use Xenakios/ repeat paste...

Dialog open up and close on pressing enter, but nothing happens.

Is it a Reaper issue or SWS/Xen-Extension? I don´t know.

Intel mac, 10.5.8

Kainer · 11-06-2009, 03:55 PM

Ok. I got the newest download from http://www.standingwaterstudios.com/
and it works.

Thanks for this great Reaper-Extensions!
Makes working so much easier.

kerryg · 11-07-2009, 01:06 PM

Turns out that what's needed to get the extension to show up in Reaper 3.x is not putting the Reaper 3.x app in the old Reaper folder created for Reaper 2.x in "Applications".

The SWS/X extension won't show up until the app is removed from that folder even if the extension is installed in its proper location.

I guess I just assumed Reaper 3.x would be happy enough in there. When I pulled the app and ReaMote out of the folder and put them directly in the apps directory (and then pulled the old Reaper folder out onto my desktop) the extensions showed up immediately. Now I'm in the process of judiciously re-installing themes/extensions that were in my old Reaper folder into their proper locations in ~/library/Application Support.
