Rename tracks problem while running a reascript

[comarlopo]

Hi everyone,
I'm running a script and I need to change the name of the tracks but for some reason it doesn't let me write on the input. Can anyone help me?

I'm doing my degree thesis about an app that gives you an analysis about your mix in Reaper. I'm implementing this in a python reascript. While the script is running, I can't rename the tracks. The inputs that i was talking about were the ones which appear on the track, to change the name. In fact it doesn't let type nothing on reaper, even if a want to look for a plugin typing the name on the search bar, I can't do it.

By the way, I would like to congrats your work with Reascript. It has been very helpful to me in many ways.

What is the Python ReaScript doing? Does it run its own event loop (eg. to display a GUI) by any chance? That would block REAPER's UI thread. A better way to do this is polling using RPR_defer (do things every 1/30 seconds letting REAPER run in between).

If you want to run Python GUI Library, consider the brand new Reapy project:

else, you will have UI blocked as explained by cfillion.

Glad it's helpful to you :P
