As we are in the recent projects cycle, can the shift+click to open project in new tab be completed with an alt+click to open with all fx offline? (shift+alt+click too?)

Sweet!
It seems the next logical progression would be showing .rpp files as a tree list and allow previewing/importing individual tracks.

It might be tricky, but I'm pretty sure FL Studio has had a similar feature for a long time.

Nice! So the lane tab is going to be like this now? If so will there be any other buttons? (m,s)

[musicbynumbers]

Thanks for the media item stuff. That's very useful thanks

As for the .rrp preview. That seems to no longer work now no matter what options I use.

I click on an rpp and see media explorer preview play a blank/silent box at the bottom for about 2 seconds. no matter what project I've tried.

Any ideas what that might be?

Great stuff, and the shorter menu is much better, much appreciated here.

That would be great if possible

And thanks for the name changes. much easier to read for me at least thanks.

This is such great news!
This functionality makes it possible to manage audio previews and VSTi presets from the media-explorer.

Thank you!

Actually, this seems to be because I had the project tab option disabled. It works with that on.

The project tab options (in the project tab right-click menu) generally control when a .RPP is re-rendered for use as a subproject, or for previewing in the media explorer.

Previously the media explorer had an option to force .RPPs to re-render, but even if that option was off, the project tab options could still trigger re-rendering, which was confusing.

Now the media explorer option can force .RPPs to *not* re-render. If the option is off, the project tab options control whether the proxy file is re-rendered.

The thinking is that re-rendering from the media explorer is more likely to be disruptive than helpful, so opting out is more useful than opting in.

There is a bug with "Offset overlapping media items vertically" and "auto-crossfade" disabled

This is handy, thanks. Could we also hide the .rpp extension? It seems like redundant info

Would it be possible to maintain separate recent file lists for x86 and x64 versions installed side by side on the same machine?

Portable installs should do.

[deeb]

since you are on recent projects! would like to request:

req: recent projects should refer to last saved projects and not the opened (option)
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=242112

Or as karbomusic refered in this thread:

[Phazma]

Yes a preference to show last saved instead of last opened projects would indeed be nice.

What is a lane header tab?

[Javier Robledo]

Hi,

Now that you are expanding media Explorer, It would be nice to have an action for inserting media and automatically loop It when loop items when inserting is disable in preferences.

Or at least, include in media Explorer action list "Loop selected items" as a action so se can create a custom action for that.

Or also maybe include in action list options for "toogle preferences for looping media when inserting", so we can include It on new media Explorer toolbar.

Thanks for reading and nice weekend for everybody.

Green tabs with lane numbers.

Wow, that would be awesome.

Doubleclick selects all items on the clicked lane. Item selection changes according to what lane is double-clicked.

SHIFT + doubleclick selects all items on a given lane, adding to previous selection if any.

CTRL + doubleclick selects all items on a given lane, adding to previous selection if any. But CTRL + doubleclick allows also unselecting the items on a clicked lane.

To me it seems SHIFT + doubleclick is not really needed, set up like that? SHIFT + doubleclick to add all items between the current selection and the last SHIFT + doubleclicked lane instead?

Yes, this would make more sense. Couldn't make Shift + double click work here.

[amagalma]

These actions do not create an undo point:
Item lanes: Move item up one lane (when showing multiple item lanes)
Item lanes: Move item down one lane (when showing multiple item lanes)

I hope not something to be broken in my configuration (or in Reaper!! :S) since I have come by another action that does not create an undo point..

Confirmed. Another bug is when you have, for example, 3 lanes and one lane has only one item, moving it with these actions will remove lane. Same happens with dragging the item.

This happens with the last lane only. It seems it is not possible to have the last lane empty, while all the other can.. ?

(Sorry, if I have come late to the party It's my first time trying this feature)

• New track
• Track > Fixed Item Lanes
• New item
• Drag that Item to the hatched area at the bottom of the track
• You should see 2 lanes now with the header

[clepsydrae]

Recent projects:

...if on Windows you could enable ESC to close the recent projects window that appears on startup, that would be awesome!

I am not sure if LANEMODE == 2, if setting an item's YPOS by chunking should allow this?



BTW, for the time being, is YPOS the only way to tell in which lane an item belongs to?

See amagalma's last comment.

You just hacked Reaper.

YPOS is the only definition of an item lane. Fixed lanes are just a special case of free item positioning with the y-positions and heights quantized. If you use the API to change y-positions to non-quantized values on a fixed lane track, things will look broken until the next time REAPER quantizes the lanes.

I see! Thanks for the explanation!

Do you think then that it would be wise if Reaper automatically quantized the value when setting the YPOS by chunking, if LANEMODE == 2?

[amagalma]

If I may ask: what is the third value of YPOS? Seems to always be 2.
YPOS y_position_ratio height_ratio x

Exactly, works somehow like a counter, you add one lane by dropping an item on lane add area and you remove one lane by removing all items from the last lane.

Personally something else that i would like is if we had an option to set the size of lane add area, similar to the size of other lanes.

Yes but I don't want a portable installation. As it's possible to install both at the same time, I think they should behave as separate entities in this respect, since x64 projects won't be happy in x86 and vice versa.

Thanks for explaining that

I actually ended up turning the tab option off and rendering subprojects manually so that explains why it wasn't working but I'll see how it goes on this and report back if I have any issues

[Reflected]

+ Recent projects: add option to not display full path in list (either file part or full path must be enabled)
+ Recent projects: support preference to display project title in recent project startup prompt

so much better and cleaner!
thanks for the quick apply.

I think that it can be useful if Right mouse click on a project in the recent list will show option to "Open File Location" (open the folder of this file)

[daniellumertz]

Open file location would be good

my recent project list is almost useless because it gets blurred with projects that i opened but found out it's not the ones i wanted to work on.
