EDIT 2020-06-01
version 1.0
The new version is finished. Thanks to the user IadAslan for funding the developement.
I have decided to make it a payware, the
price is 30€ per user. If you are interested, you can send money via:
https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted...EPL&source=url
I will send the script to your email obtained via Paypal within 24 hours. If you need more info, you can write a post here in the thread or send me a personal message.
what's this:
- this script automatically creates empty items in folder tracks in real-time. These items I call Folder Items. They represent real items in children tracks of a particular folder track. When you select a folder item, the script automatically select all children items. Then you can manipulate them with any Reaper's action that works across multiple item selection.
- the whole concept is know from Cubase or Studio One.
what's new in 1.0:
- completely rewritten with an oop approach resulting in up to 10x faster operation
- support of item splitting
- additional simple script for user settings
- prompt to automatically adjust mouse modifier for an optimal operation
- not dependant on SWS
known issues:
- does not work with hidden tracks (API limitation). Use children collapsing instead.

LEGACY:
If you want to run the free original version of Folder items, you need a
SWS extensions v2.9.7 or older.
User nikolalkc created a video about the original version of Folder items:

The issue with edge editing as seen in the video is prevented by setting Mouse modifiers -> Media item edge -> left drag -> default action ->
turn off "Relative edge edit". (The current script checks your mouse settings and offers to automatically turn it off. Or you can be just more careful with it on. More on this:
