Action for project pompt?

_Stevie_ · 06-26-2018, 05:55 AM

Is there a way to show the project prompt?
As it is now, it will only open on start up or Reaper.

do you mean project settings?

it's in the "file" menu

Alt + Enter should bring it up.

Not quite, I meant this dialog here:

never seen that - looks like a MacOS only thing.

This startup prompt window can be set via Preferences > General: Open project(s) on startup: [Prompt]
It looks a little bit different on Windows, though

As far as I know, no.

But maybe it's possible to script a custom window with a similar functionality ...

That would be great, this is such a useful window. I really wonder, why it isn't available separetely as action.

A quick update: I had a look at some possible options and I'm currently scripting/testing out some things - at least loading recent projects from a list and opening a new project (tab) is working so far.

Will report back

Whoop, pretty cool, thanks solger!

If you could add some Sorting and/or Grouping features, along with some cleanup (Do we really need to see the full file path?), that would be awesome.

Looking forward to your offering.

A way to delete projects from the list would be really useful.
I always seem to end up with a bunch of test projects getting in the way of the ones I actually want in my list.

Appreciate your efforts regardless of this functionality being included though

Sounds interesting. I guess, for instance, something like sorting the projects list alphabetically should be possible.

Do you have any specific ideas for how a grouping feature could look like?

Yeah, as example, showing just the file name should be possible (I just tested a simplified version of this)

I'll add it to the wish list and will take a look at what's possible

_Stevie_ · 06-27-2018, 12:34 PM

Ahh, Solger, you rock

solger · 07-01-2018, 11:38 AM

Another quick update

I think a first version should be ready in the next days. I'm currently working on refining the script code and testing it on both Windows and macOS.

_Stevie_ · 07-01-2018, 04:37 PM

Awesome, looking forward! Drop us a line if you need testing

MRMJP · 07-01-2018, 05:47 PM

I once requested a search field on this pop up window but the request went nowhere.

There are times when searching the long list of recent projects would save some time.

solger · 07-07-2018, 03:11 AM

Finally!
A first version for beta testing is ready
