Hide/Show tracks by certain color?

[Tobbe]

Hi,

Is it possible to do an action that toggle tracks based on it's color (show/hide)?

I have all instruments setup om different color:

Drums: darkblue
Bass: green

and so on...

I don't know of any action, but you could open the Track Manager, sort list by color column, hold left mouse button down and drag it over the TCP column for the color(s) you want to show/hide.

Yes, I know that one. I wanna create a toolbar and push a button to only show drums or guitar or bass or...

I seen one using it but he uses folders, I dont.

I look futher, would be cool to hide and show by color.

This seems to work OK, should be easy enough to read/modify, example for tracks colored red,..

EDIT Added, reaper.UpdateArrange() , or media items don't hide/unhide!

-- Hide tracks colored Red

tracks = reaper.CountTracks(0)
if tracks > 0 then
	reaper.PreventUIRefresh(1)
	reaper.Undo_BeginBlock()    
	for i = 0, tracks - 1 do
		track = reaper.GetTrack(0, i)
		tr_col = reaper.GetMediaTrackInfo_Value(track, 'I_CUSTOMCOLOR')

		-- reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(tostring(tr_col).."\n") -- show track color values for debugging.
	
		if tr_col == 16777471 then -- track is red
			reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(track, "B_SHOWINTCP", 0)
			reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(track, "B_SHOWINMIXER", 0)
		end
	end
    reaper.UpdateArrange()
    reaper.TrackList_AdjustWindows(false)
    reaper.Undo_EndBlock('Hide tracks colored Red', -1)
    reaper.PreventUIRefresh(-1)
end

-- UnHide tracks colored Red

tracks = reaper.CountTracks(0)
if tracks > 0 then
	reaper.PreventUIRefresh(1)
	reaper.Undo_BeginBlock()    
	for i = 0, tracks - 1 do
		track = reaper.GetTrack(0, i)
		tr_col = reaper.GetMediaTrackInfo_Value(track, 'I_CUSTOMCOLOR')

		-- reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(tostring(tr_col).."\n") -- show track color values for debugging.
	
		if tr_col == 16777471 then -- track is red 
			reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(track, "B_SHOWINTCP", 1)
			reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(track, "B_SHOWINMIXER", 1)
		end
	end
    reaper.UpdateArrange()
    reaper.TrackList_AdjustWindows(false)
    reaper.Undo_EndBlock('UnHide tracks colored Red', -1)
    reaper.PreventUIRefresh(-1)
end

Wow, thank you! I try that.
