ReaLauncher

[Skorobagatko]

Hi, noticed that "windows/system32/cmd.exe" window started to pop up again, previously it was without it and the loading time was fast.

Hi,

when does the window pop up, exactly (during/after which step)?
And which ReaLauncher version do you have currently installed (latest is 1.6.2)?

Sorry, I had the previous version (after loading my Reaper config), thanks!

An updated version is out:

version 1.7
+ General: Visibility and usage of the subfolder-panel can now be toggled in the [Options] tab - requires restart of ReaLauncher for the changes to take effect
+ General: Automatic refresh of list entries is now only done the first time when loading a (different) tab

Hi Jon,

thanks for the info. I'll probably need to add a nil check there.

In the meantime, can you please try the following:

1) Set debugEnabled in line 35 to true

local debugEnabled = true-- show console debug messages

2) Add a MsgDebug call in line 310

local function RemoveExtension_RPP(filename)
  MsgDebug(filename)
  return string.sub(filename, 1, #filename - 4)
end

3) The first line in the console output should show which Tab is loaded (for instance, 'Refresh Recent Projects'). Does it list any files below that or none at all?

---

Otherwise, does clearing the Recent Project list via Preferences > General: Clear list make any difference?
If you want to back the entries up first (before clearing the list), you can copy them from the [Recent] section in the reaper.ini.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the great launcher! Is it possible to set the launcher to remember the Paths - Show setting? Every time I run it again, it's set to Hide. Thanks a lot...

Hi,

I'll add it to my todo-list for the next update

Found a few bugs: Filenames containing newlines (possible on macOS/Linux) cause the list display to be offset with what's actually selected. The Paths option reverts to Hide when resizing the window. Also "Show in Explorer/Finder" could use CF_LocateInExplorer with the full filename so that the selected file is also selected in the explorer window. os.execute is insecure without proper sanitation:

EDIT:

Ah, didn't know about CF_LocateInExplorer. Added to my todo-list. Thanks.

The os.execute part is currently only used (as fallback) if no SWS Extensions are installed. Otherwise CF_ShellExecute is used.

New version is out:

version 1.7.1
+ General: The last used Show/Hide path display mode is now stored
+ General: Some minor bugfixes and enhancements

[Tone Ranger]

Thanks for continually improving this great script!!

[EpicSounds]

Thanks for the update, I got the script to start now

I did get this error popup

...eaTeam Scripts/Project Properties/solger_ReaLauncher.lua:134: 'reaper.ReaPack_GetOwner' is unknown


and there is some wrong stuff in the list

Great.

I did get this error popup

...eaTeam Scripts/Project Properties/solger_ReaLauncher.lua:134: 'reaper.ReaPack_GetOwner' is unknown

Just to clarify: is the reaper_reapack64.dylib currently located in the Userplugins subfolder?

EDIT: and is the JS_ReaScriptAPI installed (and located under 'UserPlugins/reaper_js_ReaScriptAPI64.dylib')? On second thought, the error message suggests a different problem, though ...
Just saw that the audio preview volume knob is visible in your screenshot which would indicate that the JS_ReaScriptAPI is installed.

OK. Will take a closer look at this on the weekend.

One more thing: which version of ReaPack do you have currently installed (Extensions > ReaPack > About)?
Latest stable release is v1.2.2.

[Delucci]

I have a suggestion to add:
Is it possible to implement something like "date modified" beside the project name?
Like this:

Thanks in advance, I've been using this script a lot, and it's awesome!

WISH TO HAVE FX CHAIN LIST IN THIS REALAUNCHER ALSO WANT BROWSER AUDIO FUNCTION WHICH IS INCLUDED IN SWS RESOURSES SCRIPT .

Like this:

Yeah, I think it should be possible. But I haven't had time yet to look into all available implementation options in more detail.
I'm currently mainly busy with work, so it probably might take a while since I have time to take a closer look at this.

Added to the wish list.

... ALSO WANT BROWSER AUDIO FUNCTION WHICH IS INCLUDED IN SWS RESOURSES SCRIPT .

Just to clarify:

• Are you referring to the (SWS Resources) Play options/Actions for [Media Files]? Or to something else?
• And can you please post an example how you would use such a feature.

Because it sounds to me that you're basically looking for the same functionality which Reaper's Media Explorer already provides (browsing for media files & playing them back, inserting media files on a track, etc.).
Or are you perhaps looking for something more specific?

[Delucci]

@solger Don't worry, take your time, you're already doing an awesome thing for us with this script

[solger]

Updated version is out:

version 1.7.2
+ General: Updated [Show in Explorer] code to the usage of CF_LocateInExplorer (SWS Extensions)
+ General: Bugfix for keeping last path display mode when resizing window
+ General: Some minor bugfixes and enhancements
+ General: Bugfixes for usage with 32-bit Reaper version

[solger]

Please let me know in case there might be still list display issues on macOS/Linux ** with version 1.7.2.

** as mentioned in post #292 and #296 (by cfillion and EpicSounds).

[EpicSounds]

the recent list still has the problem here

Does the problem only occur in the recent list tab? Or in any of the other tabs, as well?

[EpicSounds]

the project and track templates tabs look fine

[Alez156]

Solger! This is amazing!!! I already set it as my startup script. It is working perfectly for me on 2015 Macbook Pro OSX 10.14.1

You are the best!

Is it possible to hide the path for the folders? I cant really tell what they are this way



Aaaalso, just noticed every time I close REAPER I get this message:

Not in the current version (1.7.2). The subfolder-panel is still in an early stage, so there are still a few things on my todo-list (like hiding paths) which aren't implemented yet.

But maybe one of these options helps in the meantime:

• Resizing the ReaLauncher window to make the panels wider
• Hiding the entire subfolder panel by unchecking the Show subfolder-panel box in the [Options] tab

Aaaalso, just noticed every time I close REAPER I get this message:

Thanks for the info. I'll have a look at this.

According to the line number in the error message (line 134) it looks like that you don't have the most recent version (1.7.2) installed.

If that's the case, please let me know if updating to 1.7.2 (Extensions > ReaPack > Synchronize packages) fixes the issue.

Thanks for the info. A bugfix for this should be available within the next few days (I'll have to make some code adjustments).

[_Stevie_]

Awesome, thanks solger!

[Alez156]

Awesome, Solger!

Thank you. I've been using this a lot and it inspired me to make a bunch of project templates with mp3 demos

I want to make a post about your script at @reapertips on instagram if you don't mind once the hide path thing for subfolders is fixed I would love to share it!

Sure, no problem. I don't mind

Bugfix for the project template loading error is now available

version 1.7.3
+ [Project Templates]: Bugfix for checking the Reaper version (5.983 or higher) in order to determine which loading logic is used

[tompad]

Hello Solger!

I have some strange things going on with ReaLauncher:

Am I remembering wrong? Didn't the most recent project show up
at the top of list "Recent Projects", mine are not. They are
now at the bottom of list. Or am I remembering wrong?

Every now and then Reaper crashes without any comments when
loading from one project in list to another project with
Load button. When I start Reaper again the projects I earlier
removed from Recent Project list have returned to list.

Any thoughts what cause this annoying behavior??

[solger]

Hi,

Yeah, usually the most recent project should be listed at the top.

Every now and then Reaper crashes without any comments when loading from one project in list to another project with Load button.

Strange. Can't remember having ReaLauncher crashing without showing any error messages/comments about what caused it.
And crashing Reaper itself might perhaps be an indicator of a buggy plugin or a hardware driver causing issues (or at least are these the most common causes for crashes which I can think of right now).

Are there perhaps any error logs or crash reports (for instance in the Windows Event Viewer) with details about what might have caused the crash?: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=36653
Or does Reaper crash perhaps only when loading a specific project?

When I start Reaper again the projects I earlier removed from Recent Project list have returned to list.

Yeah, not all changes to the reaper.ini might have been saved prior to a crash (like if recent project entries - which are stored in the reaper.ini - were removed).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you please give me the following details, so I can check these things on my end. Thanks.

• Are these issues happening on your Windows or Linux install?
• On which Reaper version are you currently on?
• And which ReaLauncher version (most recent is 1.7.3)?
