Default hiding and showing track envelopes

What am I doing wrong ? I tried hiding all track envelopes , which works fine , but then trying to "show " them through a range of actions doesn't display them again ...they seem gone forever unless I click into the track and make them visible again. Is this a bug , or am I doing something wrong ? I've tried toggle show/hide and a range of options to no effect.

All I want to do is switch the display of track envelopes on and off quickly to enable editing. I'm on Reaper 4.33.

All help appreciated.

it's working fine here.

are you wanting to have all the envelopes shown in lanes?

The normal hide show is a toggle, the lane state of the envelope isn't effected by it.

"display... envelopes in lanes" has a funny behavior when envelopes are hidden that might actually give you what you are looking for.

(save track selection)
hide all envelopes for all tracks
select all tracks
toggle display... env. in lanes...
show all envelopes for all tracks
(recall track selection)

this seems to bring up all the envelopes in lanes regardless of their state when the envelopes were hidden.

and if you want them not in lanes, just add the toggle for the lanes again at the end of that action, before restoring track selection if you use that.

Thanks James....but no , I'm not trying to have effects in lanes , just on the track. It's strange because I've tried it on a Mac and a PC and the same problem occurs. I can hide track envelopes , but never show them.

Skipping between Envelopes: show all envelopes for tracks and Envelopes:hide all envelopes for tracks works fine when they're in lanes , but the show command doesn't work when envelopes are just in the track , which is how I work. Anyone else help ?

^^^^
That works here fine - using the Actions with Ids 40889 and 41148 alternately.

Also, using "Envelope: Toggle show all active envelopes for tracks" (Id 40890)

Weird....the "toggle all envelopes for tracks" works now. I'll stick with that. xx

I'm also having repeated problems with all the show/hide envelope functions here in Reaper 5.5. SWS Toggle show all envelopes for all tracks, for instance. works fine for FX envelopes but it will hide and then clear (i.e. eliminate) volume envelopes.

I've found the workaround for this is make the volume lanes active. If you open them before using them, hide seems to decide they are unused and gets rid of them---the same thing happens when using the hide button in the envelope/automaton dialog window.
