Default Snapshots, mix scene, etc

Hello Reaper devs. I am sure this has already been brought up before but let me just tell you that I was recommended to sws snapshots some time ago, and now that I am a full convert to Reaper as my main daw, I need to save mix iterations and snapshots was the perfect choice.

However last night I came to the cold realization that sws snapshots doesn't save SEND automation. After dozens of mixes and several iterations each of those, I have only yesterday needed to revert to an old mix and that's where my heart sank. Luckily I saved the mix...

...but for the sake of all sacredness, PLEASE incorporate a mix-saving feature that works! I just...I can't right now.

It's a nasty, and very long standing bug for sure. When saving full track mixes you need to create your own actions that clear the snapshot settings and then set every setting you need except sends. It's really unfortunate, but the only way to not lose your send envelopes when using snapshots.

If you want to save different mixes including send envelopes, I suggest adding the mix to render queue before saving to a new filename. I keep a collection of mp3s for all my mixes and the number corresponds to the project version. Makes things simple enough.

Hello there, this is an old thread, but I would like to know if send envelopes are still an issue,
please let me know. If the answer is YES,
Nobody with workarounds?

Thanks a lot

If you're up to date, it's been fixed.

Note that envelope points in automaton items are not saved / recalled with SWS snapshots currently.

Native snapshots would be really brilliant

Are SWS snapshots saving everything with current Reaper 7.06 or would I be missing anything when recalling a snapshot? I'm using latest SWS v. 2.12.1.3.
