Multiple launches of Actions possible at Reaper startup ?

[vanhaze]

Dear all,

I wanna have more than 1 Action (/Script) fired up when i startup Reaper.
Is this possible and if so, howto ?

Thx in advance for helping me with this.

Ooh..ofcourse Jon , Stupid me:
I just have to make one Custom Action which contains all the Actions/Scripts which i wanna have fired up at Reaper start.
And then set that Custom Action as Global Startup Action.


More coffee please !


Thx Jon !

__startup.lua is also a possibility

Thx for your help!


I don't see that one in my Action List.
Do i need a repository added in my ReaPack for it ?

__startup.lua?

No, you just need to create it in your scripts-folder and insert the reaper.Main_OnCommand()-functions in them. Will be run when you startup Reaper.

From my docs:

A script named "__startup.lua|.eel" will be started automatically by Reaper at startup. You can have both; Reaper will run __startup.eel first, __startup.lua second.
This __startup-script doesn't need to be registered into the actionlist of Reaper; it's pure existence in the scripts-folder of the resources-folder of Reaper is sufficient for it to be run.

Using _startup.lua you can preprogram very complex workflow each time Reaper is started.

Or you can just program a few simple actions

Could someone provide a link, or a little more detail on how to
run multiple startup actions when Reaper opens? I would like to run the REATICULATE script, and the REALAUNCHER script...

Love,

First, you create a __startup.lua(if not already existing) into the scripts-folder. Keep in mind, there are two(!) _ in the filename!

Then you run the actions within that.

You convert the ActionCommandID of the action to its command-id-number, using this function:

and then you use this command-id to run the action with this function:
https://mespotin.uber.space/Ultrasch...Main_OnCommand

Repeat, until you're done with all actions that you want to start.
