Thanks for container mapping/linking updates. Works great now!

Thanks for the FX Container updates!

Thanks! As for FX containers related actions, could you also take a look into these?

The combination keys for track selection have all failed. Shift+left click, Ctrl+left click.

Track lanes: Comp into new empty lane, automatically creating comp areas

This ^ action comps the very last lane and the previous comp lane is no longer in sync.

BUG: Track Default Color Reset does not reset to the default color.

In the screenshot below, the track on the left has not had a color change.
The track on the right had the color changed and then was reset back to the default color.
I've confirmed the issue in the following versions:
reaper705
reaper706
reaper706+dev1202_x64

This kinda behavior seems strange. One would assume that if I want to see the last touched FX parameters, it would open them automatically (or atleast give me some sign there are actually parameters there...) - even if I've previously chosen to collapse all FX parameters...

Does that mean we will keep bwf / timecode information when glueing an item? That would be awesome!
If so: would be great if there was an option to overwrite position data with the current values. I‘ m editing a TV Show an having access to both, the original and the current position values would have helped a lot!

Noice. Could we also have an option to preserve take markers when glueing/rendering? Or is it not related? I was about to post a FR for this.

Why does TakeFX_Show not work for FX in container, or am I missing something? It works for FX in the root layer.

mod.visible is for testing, and it also works for FX in container. TrackFX_Show is fine too.

local r = reaper

local retval, trackidx, itemidx, takeidx, fxidx, parm = r.GetTouchedOrFocusedFX(0) 
local track = r.CSurf_TrackFromID(trackidx + 1, false)

if itemidx ~= -1 then
  local item = r.GetMediaItem(0, itemidx)
  local take = r.GetMediaItemTake(item, takeidx)
  --r.TakeFX_SetNamedConfigParm(take, fxidx, "param.".."1"..".mod.visible", 1)
  r.TakeFX_Show(take, fxidx, 2)
end

[smandrap]

Clicking on track name label does not mark it as last touched. Anywhere else works (it might be related to tcp.custom.blah)

Using action "Envelopes: View envelopes for last touched track/item" in the gif

In this build, what should be happening is this: modifiers (shift, ctrl, alt) are always respected when clicking on the track control panel background.

If "Preferences/Editing Behavior/Mouse/Mouse click on volume/pan faders and track buttons changes track selection" is disabled (default), then track selection doesn't change when clicking faders and controls.

If that setting is enabled, then clicking faders and controls does change track selection, but the modifier key is applied only to the control (for example, control+click on the mute button does "unmute all") and not to the track selection; the track selection is processed as if there are no modifier keys down.

Are you seeing something different?

[edit] ah, there are a couple of bugs here. One is that the track name field is being considered a "control" for this purpose but it should not be, and the other is that the logic described above is not applied when clicking on track control panels in the mixer.

Hmmm, could "Active envelopes" also show FX parameters that have MOD or LEARN or UI? Or could there be another combobox entry that includes those? At least that was my intent with "Active FX parameters" here.



Instead of showing 4000 FX parameters, only show the ones that you've assigned to something.

I completely agree. And this should be the default view (at least, let the user choose).

Best of both world would be:
- only show parameters assigned to something (FeedTheCat suggestion)
- when searching in the filter, show results among all parameters of all track FXs

Saved project, closed and reopened reaper , loaded saved project and back to normal behavior.

When I click on FX on a track next to the on/off it goes grey and deleted FX from that track ?

Very odd.

To be clear, you are running the development build (this is the pre-release forum) or the 7.06 release? Please be sure to read this! https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=22836

Yeah... searching in a subset seems weird. I also think the filter should work on everything.

A quick toggle to hide unused fx parameters (when there is no filter) would be ideal. And if you could set that as default.

I've always had a question about the default color reset. If a VST supports track coloring, and you change then color, and then reset it. What is the VST told is the current color? The default is non-colored isn't it? Is it possible to clear the color after its been set?

same here on mac os mojave, also constant crashing on a very small project but cant repeat

[Phazma]

Looks like you devs are doing a crackdown on theme hacks?

Themes that use the tcp_idxbg images to cover the tcp background (in order to have only a small part of the track colored) can now only be shift-clicked when clicking the part that shows the actual background.

Can you point us to an example of a theme like this?

Sure, this one for example: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=255037

There are several others but can't remember which ones exactly, I deleted most from my computer.

I can confirm that something changed since v7.06 in PEACE Mod, as well.

[Phazma]

Another thing regarding the envelope window: it doesn't support horizontal mousewheel scrolling. As you're working on the envelope window, could this be enabled please?

Also, the scrolling has very large steps, hard to keep track when many FX are expanded. Would be nice if it scrolled in smaller increments.

[daxliniere]

Thank you SO much for the combobox for filtering active envelopes. I've been asking for that one for a while. <3

This one is kinda killing me, though. I'm used to being able to select a range of tracks in the Arrange window by shift-clicking anywhere in them, but now it's only working if I click the left-most area of the TCP panels. I'm using an older theme.

Is this behavior improved in the +dev1204 build?

Ahh, I just noticed that the setting of this combobox isn't persistent. (i.e. when you close the Envelopes dialogbox the combox is reset to "All envelopes".

Could you make this persistant at a global level, please. (i.e. not track, nor project)

Nope, fixed! Thank you, Schwa!

Found it!
Now I understand the logic. Yes, changing the behavior of the modifier keys on the faders is justified. But why is it just as active for Meters? For example, the MCP Meter does not have a menu and no actions with modifier keys, but when you click on it, the modifier keys are not active and I cannot add tracks to the selection by holding Ctrl or Shift, as before. This can also work for the TCP Meters, without calling up the menu when holding down the modifier keys.

Sorry for the necrobump, I only discovered this problem recently.
