little script for toggle exclusive solo track under mouse

[jrp]

I had a little more fun playing with my beginners python skills:

This will unsolo all tracks and solo the track under the mouse - exclusive solo.

It works so fast that you cannot hear the tracks being unsoloed. No clicks or artefacts.
EDIT: Sorry, that´s not true. I added some workaround to the script, first muting all tracks, unmuting after the exclusive solo is done. Original mute states are also recalled.


This is easily doable with a custom action.

But it cannot toggle solo when done with custom actions - the custom action cannot know if the track under mouse was soloed to beginn with or not.

But python can know:

RPR_Main_OnCommand(40296, 0) # select all tracks
RPR_Main_OnCommand(RPR_NamedCommandLookup("_SWS_SAVEMUTES"), 0); # store mutes

RPR_Main_OnCommand(41110, 0) # select track under mouse
tr = RPR_GetSelectedTrack(0, 0) 
s = RPR_GetMediaTrackInfo_Value(tr, "I_SOLO") #is track soloed?
RPR_Main_OnCommand(40341, 0) # mute all tracks
RPR_Main_OnCommand(40340, 0) # unsolo all tracks

if (s != 0): #track is soloed    
       RPR_SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(tr, "I_SOLO", 0) #unsolo track

if (s == 0): #track is not soloed    
       RPR_SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(tr, "I_SOLO", 2) # solo in place
