Action For - Toggle Show/Hide all regions

[Javier Robledo]

Hi ¡¡¡

I do use regions a lot in my projects.

The main use is to define the section of the song.

When all regions are set, the screen results too dirty with all the regions lines, so it would be really nice to have an action like:

- Toggle Show/Hide all regions

Also markers if possible.

Thanks ¡¡¡

Not really a solution (which is only up to REAPER devs), but you can remove/restore regions like that lua does:

(edited 11.04)

  function main()
    local retval, val = reaper.GetProjExtState( 0, 'hide regions', 'regparams')
    local has_hidden = val ~= ''
    
    s_out = ''
    sep = '|'
    local retval, num_markers, num_regions = reaper.CountProjectMarkers( 0 )
    if has_hidden == false then -- add to proj ext state
      for idx = num_markers+num_regions, 1, -1 do
        local retval, isrgn, pos, rgnend, name, markrgnindexnumber, color = reaper.EnumProjectMarkers3( 0, idx-1 )
        if isrgn then 
          if name == '' then name = '<empty>' end
          s_out = s_out..'<region>'..pos..sep..rgnend..sep..name..sep..markrgnindexnumber..sep..color..'</region>'
          reaper.DeleteProjectMarkerByIndex( 0, idx-1 )
        end
      end  
      reaper.SetProjExtState( 0, 'hide regions', 'regparams', s_out )
     else
      for regchunk in val:gmatch('<region>(.-)</region>') do
        local t = {}
        for var0 in regchunk:gmatch('[^%|]+') do if tonumber(var0) then var0 = tonumber(var0) end t[#t+1] = var0 end
                reaper.AddProjectMarker2( 0, true, t[1], t[2], t[3]:gsub('<empty>',''), t[4], t[5] )
      end
      reaper.SetProjExtState( 0, 'hide regions', 'regparams', '' )
    end
    --reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(s_out)
  end
  reaper.Undo_BeginBlock2( 0 )
  main()
  reaper.Undo_EndBlock2( 0, 'Remove/restore regions', -1 )

Thanks to MPL for sharing

This can also be done with the following actions

SWS: Copy marker set to clipboard
SWS: Delete all regions / SWS: Delete all markers
SWS: Paste marker set from clipboard

combined into a step cycle action

This isn`t persist btw. What I wrote is stored into RPP for further call, not to a clipboard.

Thanks for clarifying, for someone who doesn't read the code it's not immediately obvious.

Thanks mpl,
it can find its way to a better workflow for some, definitely.

How stable is it with Ripple-Editing taking place after hiding?

[heda]

the solution is to use items or empty items as placeholders for markers/regions. Because when you do ripple editing the items are also moved.
Like in my script Region Tracks.

Thanks Heda ¡¡¡
