OSX_Create SWS Cycle Action + Custom Console Commands

[benmrx]

I finally managed to create a cycle action that uses custom console commands, but there is some crazy lag in Reaper actually performing the action.

Basically, I've set up a custom console command similar to what's going on here: http://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.ph...on_the_Toolbar

The only difference really is that I created two separate actions. One to show the tracks (in my case it's S*Strings MIDI*), and one to hide the tracks. Then I made a button using the 'Create SWS Cycle Action', where I plugged in the Custom ID's for the two actions.

The thing is..., it works, but only after a good 5 seconds or so. Each time I hit the cycle action I get the old spinning beach ball of doom, and then it eventually completes the action.

I should also probably mention that I'm using the newest release of 64bit beta version for OSX.

what is your sws version?
if < v2.1.0 #26, it is normal. The beachball spin was a featture for people with a large sense of humour (cycle actions are in fact S&M things - "S&M: because it is good to be hurt!")
.. but bilions of OSX beta testers also complained about it so we decided to remove that "feature"

=> upgrade to the last version: http://code.google.com/p/sws-extension/updates/list (you'll also get a better editor, like on windows OS)

.. and please report SWS/S&M issues in the SWS tracker (http://code.google.com/p/sws-extension/issues/list), not here. Thanks!

Great! I'll check it out. Still getting used to the forums.
