Default Auto-Resize Track when selected in TCP

Is there any way "On-Select" to "Auto-Resize" currently selected & focused track to a user-defined height? ...a genuinely handy feature in Sonar X3 when working on big projects.

Why? Multi-track projects can narrow tracks to minimum (as default), then selected track would expand to show all controls, lanes & envelopes for easy & quick editing or inspection without any further user actions.

From Sonar Docs: Auto Track Zoom (toggle). This command enables/disables Auto Zoom, which allows you to automatically enlarge the track that has focus. All other tracks are minimized. When a new track is focused, it swaps heights with the previously focused track.

I don't find any type of "On-Select" or "On-Focus" definable actions for Reaper TCP.

Is anyone interested in scripting such behavior?

Found this older lua script and am testing in current Reaper.

I've sometimes used a combo of auto rec arm selected track (option available in TCP context menu) and Preferences > Audio > Playback "Always show full track control panel on armed tracks" to achieve this.

It does rec arm the selected track, so might not suit every workflow.

Thanks SO MUCH for the reminder or mpl scripts.

None of the "Enlarge Selected Track" scripts show in my Reapack list with MPL repository added. So I manually downloaded it from here:

https://github.com/MichaelPilyavskiy...64c0939015f4b7

Then added it as SWS Global Startup action.

THANKS!!

Did you run Extensions > ReaPack > Synchronize packages (or "Refresh" in the repository list) to update the package list?

Did you run...
cfillion, I suggest this logic on first ReaPack run:
- show manage repositories window
- after clicking Apply ask "Install scripts/Synchronize packages?"
- ask - enable 'Install new packages automatically when syncronising?'

This could prevent questions like this.

That would save a few clicks on first run for those who want the "install everything" mode. I'll try it soon and see what it can be like.

But I don't understand how it would help with this particular situation as the repos are always refreshed on first launch of the browser. (After that, they're refreshed if the cached copy is older than a week.)

@Indi (and others...) : do you have any issue(s) using this script ? Would like some feedback concerning it in the dedicated thread that you mentioned (post #2). Thanks...
