Request: Toggle Fx By Name

[foxAsteria]

This has to be an easy one and I really thought it would exist already. I use this script a lot to float fx of selected track by name:

//by IXix (translated by Elan Hickler)

function ShowNamedPlugin(sPluginName, pTrack, create) local(iSel iPlugin) (
  /*
  If named plugin not found and create is True, add it to track FX chain
  If track FX chain is hidden, float the plugin.
  If track FX chain is open, switch focus to the plugin if it isn't selected
  */
  iPlugin =  TrackFX_GetByName(pTrack, sPluginName, create);
  iPlugin > -1 ? (
    iSel = TrackFX_GetChainVisible(pTrack);
    iSel == -1 ? (
      TrackFX_GetOpen(pTrack, iPlugin) ?
      TrackFX_Show(pTrack, iPlugin, 2):
      TrackFX_Show(pTrack, iPlugin, 3);
    ):
    iSel == -2 ? TrackFX_Show(pTrack, iPlugin, 1):
    iSel != iPlugin ? TrackFX_Show(pTrack, iPlugin, 1);
  );
);
sPluginName = "SPAN";
pProject = 0;

i = 0;
loop(CountSelectedTracks(pProject),
  pTrack = GetSelectedTrack(pProject, i);
  ShowNamedPlugin(sPluginName, pTrack, 1);
  i+=1;
);
IsTrackSelected(GetMasterTrack()) ? ShowNamedPlugin(sPluginName, GetMasterTrack(), 1);

But I could also really use one to bypass them by name. Any takers?

There's also a variation of that script under the name "Toggle track FX bypass by name" in ReaPack. It's more complete than the one above but it prompt for the FX name at runtime.

D'oh! I swear that's the first thing I searched in the actions list but somehow I missed it! Thanks for the script and the heads up.

EDIT: Yeehaw! Works perf, thanks again!
