Radial Menu

[Lokasenna]

Yeah, the problem is that I can't change the width of the filename box and (at least on Windows) there's no way to wrap to a new line... so I had to shorten it. 'script_folder' is supposed to mean 'the folder this script is in' - I can definitely make that clearer.

Updated to 2.2.5:

- Removed the Font options I was working on because, well, they don't do anything yet.

[vanhaze]

Thx !

I can confirm export and import work on mac. Thank you, donate done 25 fev ;-)

Is it possible to have multiple radial menus set up? I'm looking to have 2-3 different menus with different settings for each. Clearly I'm hooked...

[Lokasenna]

If you copy both scripts to a separate folder and just rename the file to "Radial Menu 2", it'll be completely independent of the original. You'll have to re-copy it with every update though.

I'm planning to add extra actions (say, four?) that would open a specific menu number, similar to how the Context options work now.

On that note, have you played with the Context tab? That might alleviate your need for multiple setups.

Great I'm gonna do that. I'm making a separate version that stays open (bound to a key) and keeping one just for swiping (bound to my side mouse button.)

Im getting this message when opening up the radial setup

...ing\REAPER\Scripts\Radial Menu\Lokasenna_Radial Menu.lua:6692: bad argument #1 to 'unpack' (table expected, got string)

[Lokasenna]

Hmm... I'll have a look.

Edit: Have you tinkered with the settings file at all? It shouldn't be possible (I'm sure that will come back to bite me) to get that error there.

[Lokasenna]

In other news, updated to 2.3.0. (whenever the ReaPack indexer picks it up)

New: Custom fonts in the Global tab. Yay!

Very cool!

I am not an expert regarding fonts in OS but I know that there is software where a switch for bold and italic just uses the normal font and renders it that way and other software which uses the correct version of the font in such case. So my question: Does a font just get "bolded" or is then the right font variation in use?

One little nitpick:
Long font names are not possible. Example: "Clear Sans Bold italic" is possible to write in but it stops when you want to write "Clear Sans Medium it"(alic).

An amazing development, much respect! When you incorporate shortcuts (yeah I know - but my keyboard is bored now then you just made vimper and it's related FR obsolete. Also all toolbar FRs, ReaMenu... all things Radial! :-D

I'm not sure; I just tell it to set the font bold/italic/underlined and it does it.

Yeah.

I don't have a clue how to design a text box that will let you have longer entries and scroll the view over as needed, and I couldn't find anywhere to steal some extra space from. It's on the list.

[Sumalc]

Would be very cool if : "Hover over an option to click it" could be set differently in-off for each Menu.

[Lokasenna]

I feel like that might get confusing really quickly if someone forgot which menus they had it turned on for.

Ak ok, i though it could be a way to create something like a jog/shuttle.
Or "rotary" encoder

[Lokasenna]

If it helps, I might try to add click+hold on a button to let actions repeat.

[Sumalc]

Probably would be fine, thank you.

[dasombre]

just installed this wonderful script to improve my workflow, but when running Radial_Menu_Setup.lua i get the following error message:

Lokasenna_Radial Menu.lua:7212: bad argument #1 to 'unpack' (table expected, got string).

I installed it via the latest ReaPack. Any Hints how to fix this?

The radial Menu comes up, but of course it's empy and when I want to configure it the above message comes up.

Thanks for any help and of course for this great script. Looking forward to make it work and use it day to day

[Lokasenna]

Someone was having that issue last night, but I can't reproduce it or figure out why.

- What OS are you running?
- Have you edited the settings file yourself at all? (You said you just installed it, so I'm guessing you haven't)

Edit: Never mind, I found it.

Updated to 2.3.1:

- Fixed the crash mentioned above
- Rearranged the Global tab to allow more space for font names

[Plazma]

Lokasenna - how about displaying a version number somewhere in both the setup menu and the menu?

[Lokasenna]

Nonsense, that's something normal people would do. :P

thanks a lot. it's working now.
And i'm on Win7, before that I did not touch anaything. Just installed the script via ReaPack and wanted to setup.

Cool, now I can do the setup Thanks a lot!

That fixed it!.

Wow, this is AMAZING.

GREAT JOB!!!

[teniente powell]

First, I want to congratulate the author and those who have helped to make it possible. I am following this script from the first day it was put in this thread.

Well, from the first day I have this script (I have had all the versions) in my Scripts folder, where I also have the ReaTeam Scripts folder.

Radial Menu does not update when I synchronize packages of Reapack. In fact, I don't have any script of Lokasenna. I can see scripts from mpl, x-raym, cfillion, spk77, js, argitoth, ixix, daxliniere, heda, airon, jameshe, sexan, pl9, but not one script from Lokasenna. My version of ReaPack is v1.2beta1 built on Feb 27 2017. Today I have synchronized and four scripts from juliansader have been updated. I still have version 2.2.1 of Radial Menu.

Why?

[Lokasenna]

If you installed it manually, that copy will never update on its own - ReaPack doesn't know that you installed it, so it doesn't look for updates.

Are you saying that you can't see anything by me in the ReaPack browser? That's strange.

[teniente powell]

Oh my God. Santa Claus has come to see me and has brought for me 94 new packages from ReaPack. Inspecting the Options from ReaPack Configuration, I have found an unmarked "Install new packages when synchronizing" line. I wonder if unmarked is the default option.

I have marked it, and now I see 94 new scripts, Radial Menu between them.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it is.

In the Extensions | ReaPack menu there's a Browse Packages option, where you can search for scripts/themes/etc and choose to install them (right-click) individually rather than having absolutely everything always added to your Action List.

[teniente powell]

Now I can see 734 packages, and everyone is in List Action. Thanks.

[Lokasenna]

Updated to 2.3.2:

New

• Version number displayed below the radial menu, and in the Help tab
• Will look for the example file if no user settings are found
• Added an option to clear menu settings
• Clearing and loading menu settings can optionally preserve your global settings

[NextLevel]

The link in the first post is pointing to v2.3.1

Fantastic work Lokasenna, as always, Thx !

Sorry, looks like the upload got messed up. Updating it again, give it five/ten minutes.

You are not good at that. The second time you screwed things up. :-)

Seriously: That thing is sooooooo good! A thousand thanks again!

You're right, I'm not very good at it. And that's only the second time I've screwed things up that YOU'VE seen. It took me about ten tries for the update yesterday because I kept doing things wrong.

I've never had to manage something like this before, so I'm very much learning how to use ReaPack and Github by doing something wrong and then figuring out what the problem was afterward. @cfillion probably wakes up with nightmares of me destroying everything on there.

[IXix]

Just playing with this now and it's awesome work. I have a pair of browser forward/back buttons on my mouse and I can use them to launch the menu with my thumb. Fantastic!

I've got no idea what kind of menu structure I need but I'll have fun working it out, so thanks again.

Good to see I'm not the only one when it comes to GitHub. Sometimes I feel like an idiot who is working with a computer for the very first time when I change something there. cfillion seems to be a VERY patient guy! X-Raym too, of course!

[nofish]

Would you (Lokasenna and Pet specifically, but also others) find a GitHub / version control "how to" useful ?

Not that I'm a pro in this field, far from it, but I think I got the basics covered meanwhile.

[Pet]

@Nofish that would be nice, but there's a manual and explanation already. But I don't get it, maybe it's only my stupidity...

[cfillion]

You're doing fine, actually. Thanks for being concerned by the quality of my sleep though

The GitHub web interface is not very well adapted for complex uploads. At this level you might find using a local git client (such as this one) to be a bit easier and less error-prone.

[nofish]

Ok, I'll see if I can put something useful together.

edit:
Using a Git client is also something I'd have suggested. I'm using SourceTree.

[Lokasenna]

I certainly wouldn't complain. Most of my problems are probably because I'm just committing straight to the master branch.
