I'm quite new to Reaper & have enjoyed most of my fiddling about with it but as someone nervous about losing stuff and keen on backing up tidily I'd love to see this concept come to fruition.
+1 & I've voted!

Wanted to make sure you guys new that in project settings (alt and enter) you can atleast set a relative audio path.
Now just for the rest!

Thank god you posted this.
I have just registered to make the same thread, because it is one of the only thing left that annoys me in Reaper.
I beg you to consider implementing this.
Most important is the relative path for backup and thos peak files.
I have 2 workstations, a few km apart from each other, and I just don't like seeing 500 back up files in my directory.
I want to have a nice clean overview over my projects, that is a bit hard.

Not to dump it on Tim. But a consolidation of the ideas at this point would be good... then a formal FR?

Perhaps a little OT but maybe this will benefit some. Procedures like backup and archive can be quite specific to each user. Recently I came across Autoit which is a scripting tool for windows. Its quite extensive and very easy to use. I have written little scripts to automate quite a few things in our office. For instance a program that dumps each backup in a sub folder off the root. It'll never be changed. So a script now checks the age of these backups and manages them the way I like. Just a thought.

No it's fine - I'll do it tomorrow (bit busy this eve) - will try to take everything we've all mentioned into account and not just post "my" desires. There are already formal FRs though - this thread was more a lamenting plea to JCS than an FR But, it does seem to have turned into one.

Yes, this kind of thing can be done with Applescript in OSX. It's great and can really help ... but it's not an adequate replacement for a built-in solution in reaper imnvho.
It just feels really really silly to me for such a well-featured app to be unable to do this.

Can we get some feedback?

Is there any reason that this CAN'T be done on the programming/organization side? This is one of my biggest issues with this great program.

Nope. Not that I know for sure ... but no there definitely is no reason it can't be done

Btw - didn't see the point. If JCS have seen this thread (sooo very likely), they know exactly what is being asked for I think, and no doubt have their own ideas on how to best provide it. And anyway, it's been explained well enough imo. Just waiting to tick through the to-do list until it's time for this one ...
... imvho ... not that I know for sure ... but yeah ...

Whew. But still a nice idea.
Expand to have recorded files for each track to have its' own drive and directory set up if you want. (This is ballooning way beyond the more simplistic house cleaning effort that is being requested here - imo). I'm only suggesting a logical extension of the idea.
At any rate, you could then have as many drives as you can in a system, and assign individual tracks to their own drives and directories for the files... instead of using a single alternate/additional recording path.
This should probably be a separate feature request, even though it seems related, although relative paths per track would seem okay in the original context as you've suggested.

Reaper has all those lovely ini files sitting in its root. Their functional granularity makes them candidates for selective sharing across installations. They practically beg for a good path customization scheme.
If it was easy and transparent, I'd share my KeyMaps or MenuSets or templates folders across my lappy & desktop.
Reaper being such a small and self-contained installation brings these issues into relief.

I already do this by running Reaper with command line switches and by using separate startup directories. I also use junctions and symbolic links for common directories and files. I've installed Reaper to a USB stick for portable use, but the methods I've used could work across a network (for a non mult-user setup).
What I've done is quite complicated to setup. It does allow for machine peculiarities, and for common items to exist where I need them to exist.
My templates, keymaps, themes (as needed), and more, are shared across all machines. Other items specific to a machine stay specific.
You can PM me if you're interested, and don't mind digging a bit into OS peculiarities. On second thought, maybe this is a bad idea. This could be considerable to attempt to explain, and there are some gotcha's, like backup software that doesn't work as intended with junctions and symbolic links.
For the attachment I've included here, I've forgotten where I got the specific information concerning command line usage. It is possible to setup Reaper to keep all user and reaper information to be placed in the startup location. Using the junctions and symbolic links allows for you to make common directory and file links that will be shared for each startup configuration as desired. This is way more than normal folks want to mess with.

I would love to see this implemented. But failing such a feature, the other file management requests in this thread would be a huge plus to Reaper.
I'm actually new to the DAW and just a couple of weeks or so into the evaluation period. I think its a shame that there's no way to designate relative folders for the different types of files that make up a project.
But what's also a shame is the fact that I heard many times whilst researching Reaper that one of the great things about it is how the developers listen to users and implement feature requests. I read how Reaper does this so much better than some of DAW manufacturers. I don't know if this is generally true, but it certainly doesn't seem to be true in this instance. There's a lot of people here requesting this feature. But a quick search in the forums finds quite a few more similar threads. Many (including this) go back over two years.
So here's my +1! And a bump while I'm at it.

So there is still no way to store ReaPeaks in relative path to Reaper root folder? THis actually means REAPER not really portable. When i come with my usb stick to another studio, it won't find all my peaks for my sample library?

Yes, apparently this is still a problem.
What's weird is, the only relative path (that I know of) that can be specified in reaper is the path to the python dll on the reascript preferences page.
When I use the following path on my USB drive:
\Portable Python 3.2.5.1\App\DLLs
Provided I specify the correct .dll in the "Force Python to use .dll" box, I get:
python3.dll is installed.
I tried this on a usb drive with multiple computers with different drive letters and it still says this.
Based on this, I think the real question is, why does it seem like this is the only relative path that can be specified? When I specify a relative path in the same way as I did here for the other folders on my usb drive in the paths preferences page, it doesn't work.
EDIT: I did some more investigating and it turns out the default render\record paths as specified in the paths preferences section are able to have a backslash in the beginning (\REAPER as opposed to [drive_letter]:\REAPER) and still render\record to the proper directory(s). This leads me to believe: either there is a bug with the program's ability to generate .reapeaks files or I'm just missing something.

last post in 2012 ?
Hi ,
Project peak management is a nightmare in reaper .
Is it possible to write a script where the relative peak folder path can be automatically be deployed inside a specified project folder ?
a thousand examples have been given in the previous threads
Project Folder - My project
Sub folders nestled the "my project" folder
[Audio]
[Peaks]
Because as of now we have to go into the prefs and set up peaks relative path inside every time you set up a new project .
Any macro or script automation would be a great work about
cheers

Yes, here's an old python script to do this for backup files. It can be modified to deal with peak files. Just remove the save command, change the name stored in pb and the extension to check for.
Code:
# ----------------------------------------
# Save project and move all ".rpp-bak"
# files to a subfolder.
# ----------------------------------------
import os
import shutil
pb = "Project Backups"
max_len = 4 * 1024 * 1024
proj_path = os.path.split(RPR_GetProjectPath("", max_len)[0])[0]
pb_path = os.path.join(proj_path, pb)
RPR_Main_OnCommand(40026, 0) # save project
if not os.path.exists(pb_path):
os.makedirs(pb_path)
for file in os.listdir(proj_path):
path = os.path.join(proj_path, file)
ext = os.path.splitext(path)[1]
if ext.lower() == ".rpp-bak":
new_path = os.path.join(proj_path, pb, file)
shutil.move(path, new_path)
Not sure if it's possible to do with EEL (which would be more convenient since it is included in Reaper). There's a new scripting language on the way that will not require 3rd party installation, so it can be rewritten when that's available.

Take a look at Claudiohbsantos File manager lua script on JSFX/ReaScript subforum. You may like it :P

i was suggesting to friend to check out reaper. He is a pro recording every day, and i told him "reaper is the best!"
When he asked me where to set up relative paths i felt very emberassed...

Organizing Files
Kenny Gioia has put together some great tutorials that cover just about everything in Reaper, including how to use Preferences and Options to organize files to help support workflow. The link is https://www.groove3.com/reaper-train...er-4-explained and it's definitely worth the $15!

just saw the new update included relative file paths, but at least on my mac, this is still not working... AAAAARRRRGGGGGG!!!!!
Maybe in 5 more years this basic thing will be in reaper....
