Hey there. This is a mixing request, as this mainly affects moving and copying items with envelopes that are active and armed.
When moving/copying such an item to a track with identical plugins, Reaper loses the ARMing status of the envelopes.
Demonstration. Imagine this with over 100 parameters and you have to find the three that are now stuck. You have to arm them to be able to move them again.
Which means I have to hunt for what I consider defective parameter envelopes again. When you copy an empty item that has reverb settings attached and where the auto-activate&arm thing happened to some parameters that I changed and wrote automation for, the resulting copy on another track where this auto-activate&arm didn't happen now has some envelopes that are NOT armed.
They need to be armed by hand. Yeah, I agree. What a fantastic idea to create a source of confusion, bugs in the mix and things to hunt for.
That means I cannot automate those active but DISARMED parameter envelopes any longer.
This is with Reaper up to v6.58 x64 Windows 10 x64.
REQUEST
Copying ARM status of envelopes for items being copied or moved to the target track if the same plugin/envelope exists there.
Priority ? To me this is a bug of the same kind as one where the auto-activate&arm initializing of envelopes did a 0.5-who-cares-what-else-was-there-before value setup. That was taken care of.
It's a lot more than a annoyance. More of a design hole. Hope you close this real soon. I just got fucked by that again today.
