Default AI & BR_EnvSetProperties bug (FIXED)

Enable Options: Automation items connect to the underlying envelope on both sides
Create AI from envelope like shown in the gif.

Bug #1: After creating AI the envelope points are not updated correctly unless you move/resize the AI (or use a script that resizes the envelope but that causes bug #2).

Bug #2: Now run a script that resizes the envelope lane and notice the second point in the envelope disappears!



Scripts used,
mpl_Minimize all tracks envelopes heights
SWS/wol: Set selected envelope height to minimum

Not sure what SWS uses but mpl's script uses reaper.BR_EnvSetProperties to change envelope size, both caused a point to go missing.


Win7 / v5.50c, v5.941, 5.95rc1 / x64

That'd be a SWS related issue, since it's using an API call done by Breeder within SWS.

Ah right, I was thinking that was a reaper API, sorry!

Bug #1 is still valid.

Update:
Can't reproduce this on v5.965, but if I load the attached project which was created in v5.941 the bug is still there. I've been really worried about using SWS envelope resizing actions ever since, I guess it was just a bug in v5.941 that caused it?

FIXED (v5.979)

I can reproduce bug #2 from scratch in a new project (Reaper 5.965 Win x64, SWS 2.9.8)



Yes, it's triggered by SWS functionality ('SWS/wol: Set selected envelope height to minimum' also uses Breeder Envelope functions internally), but I'm not sure if something in API functionality has changed since the introduction of AIs. To my understanding the BR Envelope functionality in SWS 2.9.8 works on the underlying envelope only and should work as before the introduction of AIs (just leaving AIs out).

The (most) relevant bits of code:
BR_Envelope::Build(), BR_Envelope::Commit()

So not sure currently if this needs fixing in SWS or something in Reaper (API functionality) could be done about it.

Thanks for testing!

Just to add, the last test I did I was counting the envelope points before and after the SWS (v2.9.7) call, and the count was the same, so the points weren't getting deleted as I thought but rather moving to where (under?) the AI was so I couldn't see them.

FIXED (v5.979)

What's happening here doesn't seem quite right to me, but maybe I just don't understand how the API is supposed to work.



Script I used:
https://gist.github.com/nofishonfrid...376688ff7b7e85
(REAPER v5.965, 'Automation items connect to the underlying envelope on both sides' enabled)

It looks like the envelope API adds some sort of "virtual point" at the AI boundaries when they are connected to the underlying envelope. This confuses SWS.

Parsing the envelope chunk seems to be the only solution since the API is lying about the true envelope contents... Here's a test build that should address this: https://cfillion.ca/files/sws/fix-br...-connected-ai/. (Comments in the existing code suggests this way is slower, but I haven't measured. EDIT: It's indeed a slower, but should be negligible for real-life sized envelopes, < 250k points.)

Test setup showing the API returning fake points:



When "Options: Automation items connect to the underlying envelope on both sides" (or right side) is disabled, everything is fine:

Code:
> reaper.CountEnvelopePoints(env)
2
> reaper.GetEnvelopePoint(env, 0)
{true, 0.0, 1.0, 0, 0.0, false}
> reaper.GetEnvelopePoint(env, 1)
{true, 1.0, 1.0, 0, 0.0, false}
> reaper.GetEnvelopePoint(env, 2)
{false, 0.0, 0.0, 0, 0.0, false}
When either option is enabled, the API returns two additional points at the AI boundaries (which are not in the actual envelope chunk):
Code:
> reaper.CountEnvelopePoints(env)
4
> reaper.GetEnvelopePoint(env, 0)
{true, 0.0, 1.0, 0, 0.0, false}
> reaper.GetEnvelopePoint(env, 1)
{true, 1.0, 1.0, 0, 0.0, false}
> reaper.GetEnvelopePoint(env, 2)
{true, 2.0, 1.0, 0, 0.0, false}
> reaper.GetEnvelopePoint(env, 3)
{true, 4.0, 1.0, 0, 0.0, false}
> reaper.GetEnvelopePoint(env, 4)
{false, 0.0, 0.0, 0, 0.0, false}

Finally tried this again (bug #2) using SWS 2.1, seems OK now!

SWS v2.10.0 pre-release / REAPER 5.965 / Windows 7 / x64
