What's new:
+ option to keep the track name when applying a track template (off by default)
To activate the option simply:
1. edit the script;
2. find NAME = false in the User Definables section (the keep_states array);
3. change it to NAME = true;
4. save the script.
This script is one of my favourites. I came over here to make some minor suggestions and requests, only to find out I was using an older version, and they've all been made already! The drop down/autofill suggestion would be awesome but I understand that means it needs a proper GUI and it gets more complicated.
Donating now, hopefully it helps in a small way towards extending your work on this excellent script.
Another small suggestion - if the FX Chain for the selected track is open (regardless of focus) when you run the script, then it should open the plugin GUI inside the FX Chain, rather than floating it.
The reason I ask is because even when I've got the FX chain open and the FX browser is right there one click away, I'm so used to your script now that it's still usually my preferred method of adding another plugin to the chain. It's just quicker and easier, but it's jarring when that plugin suddenly appears floating in a new window, separate from the open FX chain.
Perhaps this could be fixed at my end by changing a preference setting, but I don't see anything obvious that could fix it.

Great idea, thanks! I've just updated the script and added that. It works with input/take FX chains as well.
What's new in v1.50:
+ option to clear master track FX chain before adding FX
# open plugins inside FX Chains if chains are visible
Master FX chain clearing works the same way as it does with normal tracks - simply start your search query with a whitespace.
I'm not understanding half of what is said in this thread, but maybe you'll be able to help : with the scripts develloped here, maybe you would know how to create a script that finds and select all fx in the project with a given name specified in the script, or specified by input by the user ? (for my use, I'd need to have the name embeded into the script, so that it's automatic). Then if I understand correctly, the script can become an aciton and be used as is, or inside other actions ?
I've been searching infos about this, I think it doesn't exist yet. That would really be neat, if anybody has the knowledge to do this. I can't code. Please help ! Or delete if too out-of-topic and sorry about that.

Hi -- currently it can't be programmed exactly the way you described it. One can't simply select multiple FX instances so that a further out-of-script action is performed on them. The following action(s) should be embedded in scripts themselves. If such approach fits your needs, I could do the custom scripting for you. Feel free to PM me for further details, estimates, pricing.

Back to the topic, I've been working on a major 2.0 update of the script for quite some time and it's coming very soon.
It has a resizable custom GUI with the most requested feature implemented, UX improvements and more.

Ok Neutronic, I just contacted you via PM.
I also look forward to the release of the script this thread is about. Don't really like the look of the FX Browser. Nice alternative .
A friendly heads-up for the thread subscribers - Quick Adder 2 is out.
NOTE: Quick Adder 2 is a separate script that will be installed side by side with v1.x. The input override and track names search modes have been deprecated, thus if you need the features please use v1.50.
