*Request*
Add a new action to "Open FXChain file browser for selected track". There is a keyboard shortcut for when a track FX window is focused (the 3rd option in FX menu), but there is no Reaper action to do it, at least that I can find and I've checked SWS.
*Benefit*
I mostly prefer browsing FX chains from the native OS file browser window (such as Windows Explorer) because they can be organized in folders hierarchically and it doesn't require a mouse. The usual FX browser is limited while right-clicking on FX button is nice but requires a lot of mouse navigation. The native file browser can be fully keyboard navigable which is great for some workflows, not to mention accessibility.
EDIT: I thought this request has been addressed, but the action provided (very graciously by mpl!) actually adds the FX to *both* the input and standard FX pathways. Still looking for a solution.
Wohoo! Thank you for such quick work! Just one thing would help - It seems to open the REAPER install folder rather than the FXChain subfolder. Can that be done?
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately this didn't seem to work. It is opening a different folder on my computer, but now it's not even in the REAPER directory.
I was really surprised this wasn't an action to begin with... We're also missing the Input FX version of this. Is that similarly ginuppable? It's not nearly as big of a deal, this is by far the more important action.
Regardless, just one more reminder of how AMAZING this community is. Thanks y'all!
The problem now is the action inserts FX onto *both* the regular and input FX chains. Is there a way to make it only insert on the regular FX chain?
Couple of other things I've noticed:
-The added FX are being placed at the beginning of the FX chain rather than the end.
-It's hard to confirm for sure that it's related, but Reaper is crashing frequently after using the action for some FX devices. Heavier FX with larger PDC like Eventide Quadravox is crashing after using the action and bypassing/enabling the plugin.
