amagalma_Distinguish visually the ripple editing modes

Thanks!

@djabthrash: if you simply load this script when reaper starts up (__startup.lua or SWS global startup action) then you can use the native button and there is no need for additional custom actions or toolbar buttons.

Well... I had no clue you could load up a script automatically on Reaper startup until now
Thank you a ton, i will just do that instead !

NB : i might still leave the "radioactive" button on my toolbar, as an extra reminder that ripple editing is still on.

Anyone else getting lots of flickering of the highlighting when moving items?

How would one go about making a custom action so that this would be on when choosing the ripple editing modes? I made a custom action with cycle ripple editing and this but now the cycle is messed up...

I know I could run it on startup or make a new toolbar icon for it but I would really like to learn to do custom actions like these (if it's possible)

+1 that's also wat i thought

There can be some flickering from times to times.. It's the downside of implementing this via a script and JS_ReaScriptAPI, instead of doing it as a C++ extension.. I am afraid I can not do anything about it...

[daxliniere]

No worries, thanks for the explanation.

I wonder if it points to a videocard problem? I always have a problem that opening even the lightest and well-coded of VST plugins (Pro-Q3) causes a momentary audio playback dropout, even when recording. (though never any dropped recorded audio)

[amagalma]

It could! What you describe should not happen (unless you are close to 100% CPU use)

[daxliniere]

Yeah, definitely nowhere near 100% CPU. And I'm running RME interfaces, so it's unlikely to be them since all their load is managed inside the interface's FPGA.

Hi

Was really looking forward to trying this. Installed script from ReaPack, and set it as Global Startup.

If I select an Item, subsequent items which would be Rippled change colour (with their tracks) - great.

But if I scroll or Zoom the timeline, the colouring stays where it is, so it's no longer showing the items which will be affected.

That makes it unusable for me.... :-(

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Win10, 64bit.

Thanks
Andy

[amagalma]

Reproduced.. it happens when vertically scrolling/zooming, not horizontally. I' ll look into this

[andyp24]

Great, many thanks
Andy
