LUA and track templates

[benf]

Hi,

I searched in the API functions, but didn't find any way to load track templates using a lua script. Does anyone know if this is possible ?

Thanks

SetTrackStateChunk

yes! this is easier than dealing with chunks, but of course you can always do chunks if you need more advanced use.

reaper.Main_openProject(string name)

opens a project. will prompt the user to save, etc.
if you pass a .RTrackTemplate file then it adds that to the project instead

@MPL :
Yes, of course ! I was focusing on track templates, but this could be a good solution. Easier if track templates are usable chunks !

@Heda :
Thanks for the answer. But my purpose is to open track templates using a lua script, even in an existing project.

it's exactly what it does. it inserts the track template in your existing project. Isn't that what you need?

Oh ! Excuse me. Didn't understand that at first. You explained it well, though.
Thanks a lot !
