Would it be possible to add „preserve track layout“?

Update the script to v1.30 (check the first post for links).
It brings:
+ AU format support
+ video processor support
+ option to reverse the /a flag behavior
+ option to preserve layouts when applying track templates ("on" by default)
+ safeguard against false JS files
# improved JS instances naming in FX chains

You requested it just in time for me to add it in this update.
It is the LAYOUTS variable in the keep_states array. It is "on" by default though so you don't have to change anything to activate it.
As of reversing the "/a" behavior, simply edit the script and change a_flag_reverse = false to a_flag_reverse = true (line #37).

Just to say, I've donated a bit for now as not had time to properly get into using it but I think I probably will and will donate again then
I found a weird thing last time I used it which was I wanted to search for a reverb that I had renamed "reverb" in the fx browser but instead it always brings up a plug in I renamed "Limiter" (my main limiter of use).
Very weird but apart from that it's still my favourite way of loading in any program so will get use to it and donate more.. Thanks!

Thank you very much!
As of getting a limiter when searching for a reverb - it is very weird and it shouldn't be happening.
Are both of the renamed files VSTs? Are they 64bit? If so it would help if you could PM me your reaper-vstplugins64.ini so I can see what is happening there.
Thanks!

Hey Neutronic, got a question for a use case here.
I got 2 track templates:
- ALB1 Strings Lo Pizz
- ALB1 Strings Lo
Now, when I type:
"ALB1 Strings Lo Pizz" is loaded instead.
Is there a way to force it to load "ALB1 Strings Lo" instead?

Hi Stevie!
First of all, since the script does not require you typing full search terms. the chances are high you can make your query much shorter.
Second, when having similarly named templates you can use the minus prefix to exclude unwanted terms.
Depending on what other templates you have, I would try the following search queries:
.al lo -p
.al lo -pi
.al st lo -p
.al st lo -pi
By this time, one of these will have likely loaded you the desired template. If not then continue adding a letter here and there.
Of course, you can also use .Alb1 Strings Lo -p but I'm sure this one is much longer than necessary.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hey Neutronic!
Ahh, I should be more confident in leaving off some characters, lol
Tried that now and it works wonders, also the "-", which I completely forgot about, thanks!!!

Yeah, shortening search queries is one of the strongest points of the script.
Glad that it works for you now!

Actually, decided to try it now (well just the reverb/limiter thing)
Unfortunately, even after updating. Typing "reverb" still brings up that limiter.
I tried renaming them again too but no joy.
I don't get it as the limiter is called nothing like "reverb" Argh!
Any ideas..

EDIT: do you have an FX chain saved that has "reverb" somewhere in its name and the limiter inside as one of its parts? Since chains are searched first by default, this could explain the behavior.
That's strange. I have both of the plugins on my machine and everything works here as expected even when I renamed them exactly as you did.
Having said that, searching for "reverb" would return the first plugin that has the search term in its name. And looking at your vstplugins64.ini the reverb wouldn't be the first pick anyway ("re va" or "rev va" would).
Could you open the installed version of the script in the editor and confirm the version is 1.31?
Also, please try searching for "Val ro" or "ValhallaRoom" directly and see if the script adds the plugin at all.
Oh, and even though I give the examples in quotes, you don't have to use them when searching these, since the quotes are used when needing exact matches only.

Kind of found the issue but not the solution.
You were right that it was an Fx chain with a limiter in it but I only saw the limiter come up but the chain had reverb in it's name
I put fx chains last in the search but now "verb" brings up reaverb so I'll have to change it to say vverb
Will keep trying things

that worked phew (changing it to "vverb"
What would be amazing but maybe a stretch to do would be to have a list of plugins it is finding pop up below the words you are typing so you can see what it will pick at the top but also use mouse or arrow keys to choose one of the alts.
Maybe too much to ask though
Be great for also finding the ones you don't use that often

@musicbynumbers ah I knew it! Glad it worked!
Though to get the reverb you actually don't need to rename anything but rather search partial keywords.
You could simply take a couple of syllables from the name rather than target a specific generic term (like reverb).
For example, to get ValhallaRoom on my machine it's enough to query va ro.
The vast majority of plugins are named uniquely enough that the approach works 99,99% of the time. For the remaining 0.01% keyword exclusion or renaming is the answer. For the latter, a special character (such as *) can be used, so you don't have to come up with unique names in each case but rather have a common solution.
@musicbynumbers and @coachz instant suggestions will be possible when/if the script gets a custom GUI. I absolutely agree that it would be a cool feature to have and it will be implemented if we go that far with the script.

Yes it is a great idea! Tone Ranger kindly suggested it here as well.
Still a custom GUI is required for that, so it would take some time to get it right. But I am strongly contemplating it and already trying some things, since having a discrete GUI will bring many more possibilities that simply don't exist when using the stock GetUserInput() solution.

Oh yes yes thank you Stevie! (I saw you mentioning it the first time.)
It is an awesome library and a great contribution to the community. Lokasenna rocks big time!
Though with this script it would more likely than not be a custom GUI solution.

Thanks for the script!
I have a small problem using it. Some plugins come with 2 differnet DLLs for mono and stereo versions. When i try adding one of these plugins with the script it seems to default to the mono version instead of the stereo, which is what i want.
These are the names of the DLLs i can see in the Add FX window:
Fabfilter Pro-L(Fabifilter)
Fabfilter Pro-L (Mono)(Fabfilter)
Strangely, the stereo version shows up before the mono version, so i never had this problem when looking for this limiter in the regular Add FX Reaper window (typed "po-l" + ENTER and the stereo version was added).
I tried renaming the mono version to something like "Mono:Fabfilter Pro-L (Mono)(Fabfilter)" but even so, if i type "pro-l" in the script, it adds the mono dll.
Any recommendation?

@reapero for plugins that have similar names you can use the minus suffix to exclude a search term.
In your case, querying either pro-l -m or pro-l -mo should add the stereo version, since it would thus exclude the "mono" part.
You could also add a special character when renaming the wanted version, for example *, to make the name unique and then use it when searching (e.g. *pro-l).
The reason why the FX browser in this case brings up stereo first is because it lists plugins alphabetically while the script follows the plugin order in reaper-vstplugins64.ini (if you're using 64bit REAPER). The plus side of the latter is that you can always edit the .ini and decide which plugin you want to force to be scanned first.

v1.40 is here (check the first post for download links).
What's new:
1. start a search query with a whitespace to clear relevant FX chains before adding FX;
2. ignore plugins that begin with # (mirrors the FX browser behavior);
3. show FX chain when adding it (instead of floating last FX in chain).

Would it be possible to have inserted track templates appear at the indent level of the last selected track ? Have a great day !

Currently, the script follows the standard REAPER convention of inserting tracks after the last touched one. So as long as you select a track with a mouse click (touch it) the script will add track templates after it, respecting folder depth.
However, this may cause some confusion when selecting multiple tracks at once.
I will update the script and make it always insert templates after the last selected track. If there are no tracks selected, it will insert templates at the end of the track list.
Stay tuned and have a great day as well!

Ah, you meant the case when the last selected track is also the last one in folder. Got it! That's the way track insertion is implemented in REAPER. When the last track in folder is selected, REAPER assumes you want new tracks outside of the folder(s).
I will make the script take care of it as well. As long as the last selected track is inside a folder, new track templates will be placed in the same folder as well.

Alright, the new v1.45 is up (check the first post for links).
What's new in this version:
- insert track templates after the last selected track or at the end of the track list;
- respect folder level if the last selected track is also the last track in folder.
