Ampersands don't show in...

drew · 08-06-2012, 01:02 AM

Routing window send & receive panel track names
Project Bay "replace in project" menu track names
Aliased MIDI input menus
Mouse Modifier dropdown lists (the options available) - makes a mess S&M of extension actions
Action menu - action names

Picking up on a tip ED posted recently, does using '&&' help?

Hi Ollie - yes && parses as & in these edit boxes and menus, but of course that trick should be done code-side, not user-side.

eg. after setting up a send, the label in the routing window "Send to track x..." should show the same as the track label which at the moment it doesn't

Here's an example of where it gets messy - track name versus send label:

Ampersand are fine here in Routing window (4.261, WinXP).

Like DarkStar they're fine here 4.261 x64 Win 7
Steve
EDIT No they're not, just crashed Reaper 4.27 pre11a big style by having a send and receive from a track with & in its name

If you could check these steps, Dstruct I would be grateful.
In a new project, insert 2 new tracks.
Name track 1 "1&2".
Open routing for track 2 and select "Add New Send" and send to Track 1 "1&2".
The caption for that panel then becomes Send to Track 1 "12".

If that doesn't happen on yours maybe this depends on OS (I am on Win7 x64).

Ok, I can confirm that. It just says Send to Track 1 "12" instead of Send to Track 1 "1&2"

FIXED (5.20pre5)

Right - and I've had times where it's confusing to know if it's "Voice 1&2" or "Voice 12" etc

Edited original post for additional case

Fixing for the routing window (that amounts to a style change on the static control).. Gotta figure out a clean way to do the menus, will keep an eye on the list here (if you find any others post them in this thread).

I don't know if it fits in this thread, but in the mixer insert field, all characters disappear before a slash. This behavior I don't like because I often rename my plugins with a slash. E.G. Comp / Limiter, Exp / Gate, 6dB/oct filter and also all JS plugins have a slash. That looks in the mixer insert field very stupid.

Cheers

First one seems to be fixed. Didn't test the others.

Here another one: http://forum.cockos.com/project.php?issueid=2912 ("Show recording path" in menu bar) FIXED (5.18pre1)
