Nooo why has this been reverted??

[Ericson]

Thanks for the refresh button. While on it, maybe also buttons for forward/backward and random?

[sonicowl]

This is still not working in RC2: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=246221

Please remove the unfinished feature until it is done, because it is confusing to have it in, if it is not working at all.

While we are working on so many media explorer related features. Can we pls have ixml metadata fields for subproject files ? Soundminer can read reaper subproject files. So i have been making fully tweakable designed sound libraries. It would be so useful if reaper can write into ixml fields for subproject files

That's interesting! If you save project render metadata with the project, it should be trivially readable from the RPP-PROX file, in the RENDER_METADATA section.

For those interested, the images for these are:
gen_back
gen_back_on
gen_forward
gen_forward_on
gen_refresh
gen_up

Is the media explorer able to show (or edit?) RPP-PROX metadata? I am looking at a .RPP file in media explorer, and I have set the project metadata using "show project render metadata window."

I am hoping that I can see a list of .rpp files (subprojects, specifically), with metadata. Ideally I would be able to edit the metadata directly from media explorer, but if I have to edit it from within the project that's fine.

Hm, no, I don't think the media explorer can display metadata for rpp-prox files. The metadata is saved in the file in plain text, though, if that helps.

[paat]

Is this an appropriate place to request that either Reaper write the metadata into .RPP-PROX files, or that it read metadata from them (wherever the disconnect is)? Or should I make a new thread for a feature request?

I wouldn't expect to be able to write the metadata to files from the Media Explorer. But, I would definitely like to set Artist / Title / Album / Description in the project metadata, and have that appear in Media Explorer.
