Note: Send envelopes should now be stored/recalled correctly with Snapshots (long standing bug) as of SWS v2.10.0, though it hasn't been tested much. Since snapshots are based on state chunks, changes within automation items (AI) envelopes are not stored/recalled currently (FR), though AI properties (e.g. position) should be recalled correctly. Also note that when deleting an AI and trying to recall a previously stored snapshot which contains this AI it won't be recalled correctly.
Windows installer:

"Xenakios/SWS: Rename takes and source files...": (Issue 1140)
- Add '(no undo)' to the action name
- Automatically delete old .reapeaks files (also for "Xenakios/SWS: Rename take source files...")
- Don't double-append file extension if already contained in new filename/takename
v2.10.0 #1 Featured build (February 6, 2019)
Mega thanks to nofish and cfillion for their many contributions, and X-Raym for doing the tedious work of merging everything into a release.
Recommended use of REAPER 5.965.
Revert 'Track height actions and vertical zoom actions obey track height locking' (for not breaking existing workflows, may come back as optional later on)
"SWS/NF: Enable / Disable multichannel metering (...)" actions: Improve performance (report here, thanks Edgemeal!)
v2.10.0 pre-release build (February 2, 2019)
New features:
- Auto color/icon/layout: Add '(hide)' Layout to auto hide TCP / MCP of tracks (rightclick in "TCP Layout" / "MCP Layout" fields to set) (Issue 1008)
- Global notes
- Loudness: Add 'high precision' analyzing mode
Set in 'SWS/BR: Analyze loudness...' window -> Options or via action, see below), to ensure full compliance with BS.1770-4. Off by default.
Notes: This mode is slower than the 'normal' analyzing mode and should only be needed when ensuring exact results of max. momentary values in certain (corner) cases is required.
All other results should be compliant with BS.1770-4 also in 'normal' analyzing mode.
Technically this mode uses 100 Hz refresh rate / 10 ms buffer rather than default 5 Hz refresh rate / 200 ms buffer for analyzing.
For background see here and here.
ReScript Loudness functions respect this preference.
- Add action 'SWS/BR/NF: Toggle use high precision mode for loudness analyzing'
Actions:
- New actions (Main section):
- Snapshots: Add actions to delete current/all snapshots (request here)

- SWS/S&M: Show/Hide take ... envelope, SWS/S&M: Toggle show take ... envelope (unlike the native "Take: Toggle take ... envelope" actions these change visibility only) (Issue 1078)
Fixes:
- Issue 537: Snapshots: (Attempt to) Fix longstanding issue with send envelopes not restored when recalling snapshots (thanks ovnis for testing!)
Note: Since snapshots are based on state chunks, changes within AI envelopes are not recalled currently (FR), though AI properties (e.g. position) should be recalled correctly. Also note that when deleting an AI and trying to recall a previously stored snapshot which contains this AI it won't be recalled correctly.

- Fixed action selection broken in various places (e.g. Cycle Action editor)
v2.6.0 featured build (January 7, 2015)
Notes window
- Added "Wrap text" option in the context menu
- Import SubRip file: name regions with subtitles content
- Issue 686: fixed new lines added in subtitles when saving the project
v2.5.2 pre-release build (December 11, 2014)
REAPER v4.75+ is required!
Contextual toolbars
- Contextual toolbars dialog:
- Added support for auto close:
- If enabled, toolbar will automatically get closed after pressing any of it's buttons
- Option exists separately for each context. To enable or disable the option, right-click or double click the <em>Auto close</em> column in the context list
- Note that you can't set the option if context doesn't have a toolbar assigned to it
- Added support for custom positioning of the toolbar:
- There are two separate ways to set custom positioning of the toolbar:
- Position override found in <em>Options</em> under group <em>All</em>. Enable to set where you want all the toolbars to appear in relation to mouse cursor.
- Position offset that can be set up separately for each context. To set the option, right-click or double click the <em>Position offset</em> column in context list and type desired offset values
- Setting one option doesn't exclude the other, they are cumulative.
- If toolbar position is managed by Contextual toolbars, toolbar will never get displayed out of monitor bounds
- Note that you can't set the option if context doesn't have a toolbar assigned to it
-Other:
- Previously, you always had to right-click the context list to edit it, now it's also possible to edit it by double clicking the cell
- Other:
- Toolbars that are set to be <em>always on top</em> don't hide the tooltip anymore. Note that this works only for toolbars loaded by Contextual toolbars, the issue where REAPER hides tooltip behind pinned toolbar still exists and is reported here
- Renamed the actions <em>SWS/BR: Exclusive toggle contextual toolbar under mouse cursor, preset x</em> to <em>SWS/BR: Open/close contextual toolbar under mouse cursor, preset x</em>
- Removed <em>Named notes mode</em> context from <em>Inline MIDI editor</em> group. It's currently not supported by REAPER and was mistakenly put there in the first place
- Added actions:
- SWS/BR: Exclusive toggle contextual toolbar under mouse cursor, preset x (added in all sections: Main, MIDI editor, etc...)
- Note: unlike other actions which simply close all toolbars if at least one of them is open, this will always open the contextual toolbar if valid toolbar is found for the context under mouse cursor. If found toolbar is already visible or no toolbar has been found, all toolbars will get closed
Analyze and normalize loudness
- Analyze loudness dialog:
- Disable analyze button while analysis is progress
Added actions
- Main:
- SWS/BR: Adjust playrate (MIDI CC only)
- SWS/BR: Adjust playrate options...
- Note: These two actions work in tandem. The first action changes playrate so you can automate it.The second action opens the dialog where you can set automatable playrate range. Also note that due to the API problems, actions can't respond to OSC, but in this case it shouldn't matter since you can configure REAPER OSC to manage playrate.
Fixes
- Resources: fixed lost bookmarks
- These actions now work properly when item is trimmed or stretched:
- SWS/BR: Split selected items at stretch markers
- SWS/BR: Create project markers from stretch markers in selected items
- Don't reload FX when undoing certain SWS actions
v2.5.1 pre-release build (November 24, 2014)
REAPER v4.74+ is required!
New API functions were introduced in this version, they enable various improvements in the SWS/S&M Extension.
Thank you Cockos!
Contextual toolbars
- Functionality in general:
- Feature relies heavily on existing REAPER toolbars. The basic concept is fairly simple. User assigns different REAPER toolbars to different contexts (things like TCP, item, piano roll, etc...) and loads them under mouse cursor by calling a single action. The action will then load an appropriate toolbar for a thing under the mouse cursor, like this.
- For more information, please visit the wiki on the subject (which is also accessible from the Contextual toolbars dialog). In case you want to contribute to the wiki, you're more than welcome.
- Contextual toolbars dialog:
- To open a dialog for setting up contextual toolbars either run the action SWS/BR: Contextual toolbars... or go to Main menu > Extensions > Contextual toolbars...
- Dialog is divided into 3 parts, preset selector, list of possible contexts, and various options tied to those contexts. Select an arbitrary preset and right click contexts to assign them toolbars. Options can be found on the right and are executed only when toolbar is loaded. Once set up, use provided actions to load toolbars for each preset.
- Added actions:
- SWS/BR: Contextual toolbars...
- SWS/BR: Exclusive toggle contextual toolbar under mouse cursor, preset x (8 presets) (added in all sections: Main, MIDI editor, etc...)
- Note: Actions work as toggle switches. If any of the toolbars set up in Contextual toolbars dialog is visible, all of them will get closed - otherwise toolbar corresponding to context under mouse cursor will get loaded.
- Feedback needed:
- Note that while new contexts won't get added at this time (but fades and volume handles are planned) now is the time to help us. Any feedback, comments and criticism of current contexts hierarchy is highly welcome. For example, this workaround would definitely benefit from discussion. Don't hesitate to express your opinion on dedicated forum topic. Thanks!
Analyze and normalize loudness
- Analyze loudness dialog:
- Analyzer can now measure true peak (disabled by default since it prolongs analysis due to resampling - see Options to enable/disable)
- Double-click true peak cell to move edit cursor to true peak location (or right-click selected item/track in list view to reveal the option)
- Added user preference to display either LUFS or LU (see Options->Unit).
- To set reference level for 0 LU and formatting of LU unit, see Options->Global preferences (or run SWS/BR: Global loudness preferences)
- Right-click menu entry for normalizing follows Options->Unit and will alternate between "Normalize to -23 LUFS" and "Normalize to 0 LU"
- Normalizing to specific value can normalize to both LUFS and LU
- Export list of analyzed items/tracks to clipboard or file
- To export the list, select items in list view, right-click them and select "Export formated list to clipboard/file"
- For setting the format of exported items, see Options->Export format
- Formating supports wildcards. Wildcards description can be found in the same dialog. To hide description, simply resize the dialog
- Besides typing, wildcards can also be inserted using the "Wildcard" button.
- Previously used format patterns are stored in the "Wildcard" button submenu
- Analyzed objects are now restored on project load
- Other:
- Right-click menu entry for creating loudness graph no longer queries range, instead it uses range set in Options->Global preferences (or SWS/BR: Global loudness preferences)
- Normalize dialog is no longer modal (but will be closed if loudness analyzer is closed/hidden to avoid confusion)
- Display new items/tracks in list view as soon as they're analyzed

- Added actions:
+SWS/BR: Global loudness preferences...
- Note: Preferences set here affect everything loudness related in SWS (analyze loudness dialog and separate normalize actions)

v2.4.0 #5 pre-release build (March 30, 2014)
Analyze and normalize loudness
- Functionality in general:
- Loudness is measured according to EBU 3342 standard thanks to excellent libebur128 by Jan Kokemuller
- Due to limitations in Reaper API, we can extract audio data only from certain parts of the audio chain. Chart can be found here. A few gotchas:
- You can't use item fades for extensive volume control
- If you need to use FX, current workaround is to put one item with needed FX in an empty track and measure that track
- Added actions:
- SWS/BR: Normalize loudness of selected items/tracks...
- SWS/BR: Normalized loudness of selected items/tracks to -23 LUFS
- SWS/BR: Analyze loudness...
- Analyze loudness dialog:
- Accessible from the Action list or Main menu > Extensions > Loudness...
- Right-click on the dialog or just click "Options" button for various settings
- Measures integrated, range, short-term and momentary loudness of selected items and tracks
- To normalize items or tracks, right-click analyzed targets in the list view - often faster than using separate actions because data for already analyzed targets in the dialog is cached (to prevent needles reanalyzing before normalization if nothing changed)
- Draw momentary and short-term loudness graph to selected envelope. Right-clicking analyzed item should reveal the feature. You can use dummy JS effects from here as a canvas for loudness graphs
- After the target is analyzed, it's possible to position edit cursor over maximum short-term and momentary loudness interval by double-clicking cells holding their measurements. There is also an option to create time selection over that part of the item/track.
- Dialog is designed to follow project state. If you rename or delete analyzed target, the change will get reflected in the dialog. For various settings relating to this, check dialog options
- Analyzing happens in a separate thread so user is free to keep on using Reaper while it's happening.
Warp grid
- SWS/BR: Move closest grid line/tempo marker to mouse cursor:
- Prevent creating multiple undo points while shortcut is kept on being pressed
- Smoother reaction to mouse movements, not depending on the OS keyboard settings anymore
- While the shortcut is pressed, target grid gets "locked" to mouse so it isn't possible to accidentally edit surrounding grids
- Change mouse cursor when using the action (win only)
- Improved efficiency when dealing with high tempo marker count
- Note: due to the way upper improvements are made, you can't arm the action from the toolbar (as some users are doing here). If you really need that, you can create a separate macro just for that:
- SWS/BR Save edit cursor position, slot x
- View: Move edit cursor to mouse cursor (no snapping)
- SWS/BR: Move closest grid to edit cursor
- SWS/BR Restore edit cursor position, slot x
- Added actions:
- SWS/BR: Move closest (measure) grid line to edit/play cursor (Issue 638)
- SWS/BR: Move closest left/right side grid line to edit cursor
Project startup action
- Added "SWS/S&M: Show project startup action"
- Added dedicated menu items in Main menu > Extensions > Project startup action (for easier set-up)
- The action (and new menu item) "SWS/S&M: Set project startup action" now prompts to overwrite
Cycle actions
- Added "LOOP x" statement (thanks wol!): prompts the user for the number of times to repeat something
- Tiny fixes (corner cases)
Marker list
- Export formatted marker list to clipboard now works on OSX
Added actions
- SWS/wol: Set "Vertical zoom center" to "Track at center of view"
- SWS/wol: Set "Vertical zoom center" to "Top visible track
- SWS/wol: Set "Vertical zoom center" to "Last selected track"
- SWS/wol: Set "Vertical zoom center" to "Track under mouse cursor"
- SWS/wol: Set "Horizontal zoom center" to "Edit cursor or play cursor (default)"
- SWS/wol: Set "Horizontal zoom center" to "Edit cursor"
- SWS/wol: Set "Horizontal zoom center" to "Center of view"
- SWS/wol: Set "Horizontal zoom center" to "Mouse cursor"
- SWS/BR: Copy take media source file path of selected items to clipboard
- SWS/BR: Toggle "Playback position follows project timebase when changing tempo"
- SWS/BR: Move closest (selected) envelope point to edit cursor
- SWS/BR: Insert 2 envelopes points at time selection

Fixes
- The action "SWS/BR: Delete tempo marker and preserve position and length of (selected) items (including MIDI events)" should now work properly
- Note: due to bug in the API, please update to 4.611 otherwise you will lose any text and sysex events
- Fixed rounding issues when converting projects markers to tempo markers in time selection (reported here)
v2.4.0 #4 (March 13, 2014)
REAPER v4.60+ is required!
New API functions were introduced in this version, they enable various improvements in the SWS/S&M Extension.
Thank you Cockos!
Added actions
- SWS/BR: Preview media item under mouse (versions for pausing project playback during preview)
- SWS/BR: Toggle media item online/offline
- SWS/BR: Set selected envelope points to next/previous point's value
- SWS/BR: Set selected envelope points to first/last selected point's value
- SWS/BR: Delete tempo marker while preserving position and length of (selected) items (including MIDI events)
- SWS/BR: Move closest tempo marker to mouse cursor
- SWS/BR: Move closest (measure) grid line to mouse cursor (may create tempo marker)
Hint: There is an interesting effect if you keep shortcut key pressed while moving the mouse - grid/tempo marker will follow it.
The only con is that a bunch of undo points will get created
- Added stock toggle actions:
- SWS/S&M: Dummy toggle n (where 'n' is in [1; 8], customizable in the S&M.ini file, up to 99 toggles)
- SWS/S&M: Exclusive toggle An (where 'n' is in [1; 4], customizable in the S&M.ini file, up to 99 toggles)
- SWS/S&M: Exclusive toggle Bn (where 'n' is in [1; 4])
- SWS/S&M: Exclusive toggle Cn (where 'n' is in [1; 4])
- SWS/S&M: Exclusive toggle Dn (where 'n' is in [1; 4])
"Exclusive toggle" means only one toggle action is ON at a time.
For ex: in the set of toggles "A", if "Exclusive toggle A03" is ON, A01 A02 and A04 are OFF.
These actions come in handy with Cycle Actions for example, see details and use-cases here (thanks Reno.thestraws!)
Resources: auto-save media files improvements
ReaConsole
- Issue 588: added option in the context menu to invert ENTER and CRTL+ENTER (CMD+ENTER on OS X) key shortcuts:
- The ENTER key can either perform commands and let the console open, while CRTL+ENTER performs commands but closes it
Useful when ReaConsole is docked for example, default behavior
- Or the ENTER key can perform commands and close the console, while CRTL+ENTER performs commands but let it open
Useful when using ReaConsole the old-school way, as a dialog box
- New default shortcut 'c' to open ReaConsole ('C' might conflict with the native action "Insert time signature/tempo Marker")
Cycle actions
- Issue 634: our new project member wol has added some conditional statements, thanks!
- IF AND: if both next actions are ON
- IF NAND: if at least 1 of the next 2 actions is OFF
- IF OR: if at least 1 of the next 2 actions is ON
- IF NOR: if both next actions are OFF
- IF XOR: if the next 2 actions' states are different
- IF XNOR: if the next 2 actions' states are the same
Note: these new statements must be followed by two actions that report a toggle state
- Editor: commands indentation
- Editor: better description of conditional statements (in plain English)
- Tweaks: better context menu, message dialog box, etc
Added ReaScript functions
- BR_GetMouseCursorContext

Added actions
- Xenakios/SWS: Preview selected media item through track (toggle and normal)
- SWS/BR: Preview media item under mouse (lots of different versions, see action list) (Note: "Xenakios/SWS: Stop current media item preview" works on these too)
- SWS/BR: Select next/previous envelope point
- SWS/BR: Expand envelope point selection to the right/left (normal and end point only version)

Other
- OS X DMG / Issue 608: added info allowing Mavericks/10.9+ users to run the installation script
- Made .beats optional for the action "SWS/S&M: Insert silence (measures.beats)", e.g. enter 5 (or 5.0) to insert 5 measures of silence/empty space
- Cycle Actions & Live Configs editors: shorten action names when possible, e.g. "<s>SWS/S&M: </s>Insert silence (measures.beats)"
- Better Snapshot details/descriptions
- SWS: Exported marker list format dialog opens centered
- Added "..." to the end of all (hopefully) Xenakios dialog actions that were missing it

v2.4.0 #2 (November 15, 2013)
MIDI/OSC actions support learn with both MIDI Pitch and "normalized" OSC messages
- To enable this new option: set "LearnPitchAndNormOSC" to 1 in the section [General] of the S&M.ini file (quit REAPER first!)
- When the new option is enabled, all actions of the section "S&M Extension" can be learned with:
- New: OSC messages with floating-point argument in [0, 1] (14-bit resolution)
Useful for OSC controllers that cannot handle absolute float values, e.g. TouchOSC for Android needs this!
- New: MIDI Pitch messages (14-bit resolution)
- MIDI CC messages (absolute and relative modes, as usual)
Region Playlist
- Fixed playback that could get out of sync randomly
- Added option "Smooth seek (seek immediately if disabled)" in the context menu, details here
Auto color/icon
- Issue 602: Marker/region rules now support the filters (any) and (unnamed)
- Issue 600 / Windows OS: fixed potential crash when changing colors
- Fixed marker/region auto-coloring rules not obeying priorities
Cycle Actions
- Cycle Actions now support all 3rd party extensions' actions
- Issue 607: better recursion detection/protection, thanks Big Bob!
- Editor: reject unreliable command ids for SWS actions, macros and scripts
Notes window
- Make it possible to monitor/edit marker/region names and subtitles separately,
i.e. added "Marker names", "Marker subtitles", "Region names" and "Region subtitles"
in the dropdown box (in addition to "Marker/region names" and "Marker/region subtitles")
- Added related actions:
- SWS/S&M: Open/close Notes window (marker names)
- SWS/S&M: Open/close Notes window (region names)
- SWS/S&M: Open/close Notes window (marker subtitles)
- SWS/S&M: Open/close Notes window (region subtitles)
- If REAPER >= v4.55: Mark project dirty (needing save) rather than creating undo points for each key stroke
- Potential fix for "things that smells like Pont-l'�v�que"
- House cleaning: allow notes for macros and scripts (aka "Action help")
To easy copy/paste, string identifiers used to be displayed in the Notes window for macros/scripts.
This is now useless since the action list offers "Copy selected action cmdID/identifier string".
Resources / Issue 591: make it possible to save and use new slots/files only via user macros (w/o tweaking the S&M.ini file, etc..)
- Made "Auto-save" slots/files <em>actions</em> more macro-friendly: they won't prompt for anything
Note: the "Auto-save" <em>button</em> still prompt to overwrite selected slots/files
- Added a "last slot" version for all existing slot actions (i.e. new actions to deal with "auto-saved slots")
A few examples:
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Apply track template to selected tracks, <em>last slot</em>
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Apply track template (+envelopes/items) to selected tracks, <em>last slot</em>
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Import tracks from track template, <em>last slot</em>
- etc..
- Added actions to cleanup things at the end of user macros, if needed:
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Delete last track template slot/file
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Delete last FX chain slot/file
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Delete last media slot/file
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Delete last project slot/file
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Delete last theme slot/file
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Delete last image slot/file
Resources: other updates
- Tag bookmark names with [x] when relevant slot actions are attached to them
- Media files: added "Add media file" options in the context menu (+ related actions)
- Stretch/loop to fit time selection
- Try to match tempo 0.5x
- Try to match tempo 1x
- Try to match tempo 2x
Note: all existing "Add media file" slot actions obey these new options too
- Track templates: fixed the option "Offset items/envelopes by edit cursor" not being obeyed, sometimes
- Track templates: added actions where 'n' is in [1; 4], customizable in the S&M.ini file:
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Paste (replace) template items to selected tracks, slot n
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Paste (replace) template items to selected tracks, last slot
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Paste template items to selected tracks, slot n
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Paste template items to selected tracks, last slot
- GUI tweaks, better wordings and undo point names (with slot numbers), etc..
- House cleaning: Removed all "prompt for slot" actions (*)
Prehistoric actions that used to make sense when there was no dedicated GUI...
- House cleaning: Deprecated the "project loader/selecter" tool (*)
This tool was useful to switch projects or select project tabs (during live performances, for ex.)
Instead, you can just create a new dedicated bookmark (say "Live projects": click the tiny button +),
add projects to it (drag-drop RPP files from an Explorer/Finder), and attach relevant slot actions to
it via the context menu > Bookmark > Attach project slot actions to this bookmark.
Deprecated actions have been replaced as follow:
- "Resources - Project loader/selecter: next (cycle)" -> "Resources - Open project, next slot (cycle)"
- "Resources - Project loader/selecter: previous (cycle)" -> "Resources - Open project, previous slot (cycle)"
Also added:
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Open project, next slot (new tab, cycle)
- SWS/S&M: Resources - Open project, previous slot (new tab, cycle)
- (*) If you have any trouble because of that, please say something!
ReaScript function export
- Added function BR_SetTakeSourceFromFile()
- Issue 598: fixed potential crash with FNG_FreeMidiTake
Ruler's drag zoom / Issue 540: added actions for better usability

- Localization / Windows OS: fixed broken features/actions when the extension was translated (thanks drikssa� & neilerua):
- Most of zoom features
- Xenakios "Scroll track view" actions
- S&M "Toggle offscreen item selection" actions
- Issue 595: cut/copy/paste take actions now handle multiple item selection
- The action "Cut active take" now removes items if needed (rather than leaving empty items)
- Issue 601: fixed marker <-> region conversion actions (and export actions) that could affect playback
- Issue 606 / OS X: fixed text display � la "Big Clock" for Notes, Region Playlist and Live Config Monitor windows

Fixed some actions learned with relative MIDI CC events
- SWS/S&M: Select project (MIDI CC/OSC only)
- SWS/S&M: Trigger preset for FX n of selected track (MIDI CC/OSC only) - where 'n' is in [1; 8]
Note: FX 4 to FX 8 are new actions
- SWS/S&M: Trigger preset for selected FX of selected track (MIDI CC/OSC only)
- Reminder: those actions belong to the section "S&M extension" of the action list (top-right dropdown box)
Live Configs:
- Allow switches to "comments-only" configs (e.g. OSC feedback with random/custom strings)
- Added actions (where 'n' is in [1; 4], customizable in the S&M.ini file):
- SWS/S&M: Live Config n - Preload next config
- SWS/S&M: Live Config n - Preload previous config
Notes: useful to preload configs with -/+ controllers (like pedals), there already are similar actions to switch to the next/previous config

v2.3.0 #19 (June 27, 2013)
Fixes:
- Issue 585 / OS X: fixed font rendering crashes, thank YOU Justin!
- More screenset fixes (including these issues)
Added actions:
- SWS/BR: Hide all but active track envelope (issue 456)
Other:
- Renamed a bunch of S&M "slot actions" to make it clear they are attached to the Resources window
For ex.: <em>SWS/S&M: Import tracks from track template, slot 3</em> has been renamed into <em>SWS/S&M: Resources - Import tracks from track template, slot 3</em>
- Cycle Action editor: display unregistered cycle actions as such (IDs in parenthesis)
- Actions that renumber marker/region IDs now create undo points
v2.3.0 #18 (June 9, 2013)
Issue 517 / Windows OS: S&M actions and commands that open the Explorer now also reveal files
OS X: better fonts in S&M windows (again!)

(to copy such IDs, right-click an action in the Actions window > Copy selected action cmdID/identifier string)
v2.3.0 #17 (April 30, 2013)
REAPER v4.33+ is required!
New API functions were introduced in this version, they enable various improvements in the SWS/S&M Extension.
Thank you Cockos!
Cycle Action (CA)
- Cycle Actions for all sections (Media Explorer, Inline MIDI Editor, etc..)
- Support macros & scripts in all sections
- Improved the timing of Cycle Actions (again!)
- Support special macros using actions like "No-op", "Wait n seconds before next action", etc..
- Editor: various usability improvements, incl. a bit of issue 565
- Editor / Issue 562: added instruction LABEL to run Label Processor commands (and make your own "Label Processor actions")
Example: LABEL /Lmy_suffix
Reminder: the syntax is described in Main menu > Extensions > Label Processor
- Editor: fixed paranoid test that was preventing some valid CAs to be registered, thanks Big Bob!
- Fixed possible "no-op" CAs in the Action list
Resources window and related "slot actions"
- Issue 560: added commands and options to attach/detach resource files to/from projects
When saving your work to another directory (using save as/copy media), all files that have been attached to the project in the Resources window will be backed up too.
When a bookmark is attached to a project, any file/slot that will be added to (or removed from) this bookmark will be automatically attached to (or detached from) the project.
Use-case examples: Comping, "Revolver tracks"
- Added Context menu > Bookmark > "Attach bookmark to X.RPP" and "Detach bookmark from Y.RPP"
- Added option "Attach bookmark to this project" when creating new bookmarks
- Added label for the attached project name (if any), right-click to load/select the said project
- Added custom bookmarks: Context menu > Bookmark > New bookmark > Custom...
The definition format is: resource_directory_name,description,file_extensions (no spaces around commas)
- Example1: Configurations,ReaConfig,ReaperConfigZip
=> Bank of configs example: auto-fill, then double-click slots to switch ReaConfigs (or, on Win, drag-drop slots to the arrange)
- Example2: Docs,Document,txt,rtf,pdf => Multiple file extensions example
- Example3: Misc,Any file,* => Can be useful to attach any type of file to a project, for example
- Theme bookmarks and related slots actions: OS X port + now support both .ReaperthemeZip and .ReaperTheme files
For Mac users, an interesting new action is "SWS/S&M: Load theme, slot n" - where 'n' is in [1; 4], customizable in the S&M.ini file: up to 99 themes
- Image bookmarks and related slots actions now support the same image formats than REAPER: PNG, JPG, BMP, etc..
Note: Image bookmarks were limited to PNG files before this version (only the action "SWS/S&M: Show image, slot n" is still limited to PNG)
- Project bookmarks and related slots actions now support the same project files than REAPER: RPP, EDL, RPP-BAK, etc..
Note: Project bookmarks were limited to RPP files before this version
- Context menus: new commands
- Various tweaks, tiny fixes (localization, media file filters, etc..)
Fixes:
- Notes window: undoing "remove tracks" now restores tracks notes, if any
- Removed default shortcut Ctrl+Shift+M ("SWS: Open marker list"): conflict with the default/native shortcut for "View: show track manager window"
- Removed default shortcut Ctrl+F (for "SWS/S&M: Find"): no known conflict but more future-proof
- Screenset load now sets size/position of undocked SWS windows as reported here
v2.3.0 #16 (April 18, 2013)
Added H:M:S.F to marker list export format
Fixes:
- Fixed screensets broken in v2.3.0 #15
- OS X now supports all track template files, thanks mustgroove!
This fixes this Resources window issue (and probably other things on OS X)
- Issue 552: auto-saved track templates now sync to tempo (i.e. added beat information in auto-saved templates)
v2.3.0 #15 (April 8, 2013)
Live Configs:
- Added basic OSC feedback
To bind an OSC device: Live Configs window > Context menu > OSC feedback, and choose a device in the list
Devices listed there are the OSC "control surfaces" defined in Options > Preferences > Control Surfaces
Note: only the name, IP, max packet size and output port parameters are required.
Unless you need REAPER feedback as well, you do not need to tick the option "Send to port"
Up to 4 OSC devices are managed, i.e. distinct feedback for Live Config #1, #2, #3 and #4
The possible OSC messages (with string arguments) are:
- /snm/liveconfign/current/changed - when the active config changed for the Live Config #n
- /snm/liveconfign/current/changing - when the active config is changing for the Live Config #n (same as grayed display in monitoring windows)
- /snm/liveconfign/preload/changed - when the preloaded config changed for the Live Config #n
- /snm/liveconfign/preload/changing - when the active config is changing for the Live Config #n (same as grayed display in monitoring windows)
- Fixed ~1s delay when switching configs (with the option "Send all notes off when switching configs"), thanks Breeder!
- Undoing config switches now properly update monitoring windows
Note: just fixed for the sake of it as it is recommended to disable undo points for live performances!
Region Playlist:
- Support main transport pause
Before this version the playlist was stopped on pause, now it just plays again when "un-pausing", as expected
- Added basic OSC feedback
To bind an OSC device, etc.. see above: same as the Live Configs' OSC feedback
The possible OSC messages (with string arguments) are:
- /snm/rgnplaylist/current - current region
- /snm/rgnplaylist/next - next region
Added actions:
- SWS: Set takes in selected item(s) to random custom color(s)
- SWS: Set takes in selected item(s) to color gradient
- SWS: Set takes in selected item(s) to ordered custom colors
- SWS/BR: Create tempo markers at grid after every selected tempo marker
- Issue 180:
- SWS/BR: Create project markers from selected items (name by item's notes)
- SWS/BR: Create regions from selected items (name by item's notes)
Fixes:
- About box: fixed update checker connection issues in certain instances (Win only)
- Cycle actions: fixed ReaScript support broken in v2.3.0 #14, thanks gofer!
- OS X x64: fixed font rendering crash (when using alpha)
- Fixed crazy behavior (SWS stops working) when running these actions on empty items:
- SWS/BR: Create project markers from notes in selected MIDI items
- SWS/FNG: legato selected media items on same track (change rate)
- SWS/FNG: Time compress/stretch selected items
- Refresh arrange after running SWS/FNG: unselect items that do not start in time selection
- Prevent loss of item selection when running Xenakios/SWS: Remove muted items
- Small rename (for the sake of clarity) of 2 actions: Xenakios/SWS: Shuffle order of selected items
- Don't skip last fade shape when using Xenakios/SWS: Set next/previous fade in/out shape for items
- More consistent behavior for:
- Xenakios/SWS: Explode selected items to new tracks (keeping positions)
- Xenakios/SWS: Select takes in selected items, shuffled random
- Xenakios/SWS: Select takes of selected items cyclically
- These actions now work with empty items (issue 281):
- SWS: Create regions from sel item(s) named with take
- Xenakios/SWS: Create markers from selected items (name by take source file name)
- Xenakios/SWS: Explode selected items to new tracks (keeping positions)
- Xenakios/SWS: Remove muted items
- Xenakios/SWS: Reverse order of selected items
- Xenakios/SWS: Shuffle order of selected items
- Xenakios/SWS: Shuffle order of selected items (2)
- Xenakios/SWS: Select items under edit cursor on selected tracks
- Xenakios/SWS: Time selection adaptive delete
- Xenakios/SWS: Toggle selected items selected randomly
Other:
- OS X: better font rendering
v2.3.0 #14 (March 23, 2013)
Cycle Actions (CAs)
- Improved timing when performing CAs
- Issue 550: CAs can now contain <em>other</em> CAs, recursively
- The character comma (,) can now be used in CONSOLE instructions
- Added instruction ELSE
- Improved toggle states reporting
- CAs can now either report fake toggle states (like it was before v2.3.0 #9) or real ones (i.e. toggle state of the first relevant "sub-action")
This ensures transparent upgrades from older versions. This toggle state is configurable in the column "Toggle" of the editor, see details here
- Better initialization for CAs that report real toggle states (i.e. avoid to run some of them one time before they sync properly)
- Editor: display MIDI action names (with REAPER >= v4.33pre16)
- Editor: new menu items to cut/copy/paste commands (works across CAs)
- Editor: new menu item to explode CAs, custom actions (i.e. macros) and ReaConsole actions into individual actions
This helps sharing Cycle Actions with other users, see important remarks here
(before this version you probably had to share other files, now you just have to export a single file where all CAs have been "exploded")
- Editor tweaks: added CA text filter, more helpful messages (again), etc...
- Fixed missing undo points for CONSOLE commands (when the option "Consolidate undo points" was disabled)
- Removed "cycling tooltips" (when CAs were attached to toolbar buttons, the reason why is detailed here)
Note: when the opetion "Consolidate undo points" is enabled, steps like !bla or !foo still provide distinct undo point names though ("Undo foo", "Undo bla")
Live Configs
- Ignore preload over the current/active track
- Improved action learn: prompt to replace current bindings or to add a new binding (with REAPER >= v4.33pre20)
- Monitoring windows: improved redraw + click the "CURRENT" panel to show/hide the "PRELOAD" one
- Fixed Cut command and corner-cases
Snapshot improvements: (Thanks for the contributions, Chris!)
- Added Previous and Next buttons for navigating snapshots and added associated actions
- Added Move Up & Down buttons for re-ordering snapshots list and added similar actions
- Added Notes field (limited to 100 characters)
- Changed the way snapshots are deleted so the sort column remains continuously numbered
Added actions:
- Issue 543: SWS/S&M: Go to/select region n (obeys smooth seek)
where 'n' is in [1; 4], customizable in the S&M.ini file: up to 99 actions/regions
- Issue 307: actions to increase/decrease the metronome volume (by steps of ~ 0.15dB)
SWS/S&M: Increase metronome volume
SWS/S&M: Decrease metronome volume
- SWS/BR: Move closest tempo marker to edit cursor
Other:
- "SWS: Minimize selected track(s)" now returns a toggle state:
reports ON if the selected track (or all selected tracks) is (are) minimized
- ReaConcole: reduced minimum height and margins
- S&M project startup actions: tweaks to support theme switching on project load (details here)
Fixes:
- S&M Notes window / OS X 10.7+: fixed refresh issues, thanks chriscomfort!
- OS X 10.7+ x64: fixed list views being right aligned
- All S&M windows: fixed button display for some themes (e.g. Apollo theme)
- Fixed action "SWS/S&M: Open project path in explorer/finder"
This action was opening the project's parent folder, not the project's folder
- About box: fixed disabled button in update checker in certain instances
- ReaMote: fixed unexpected "Version Incompatibility" error message
v2.3.0 #13 (February 2, 2013)
ReaConsole updates
- Create actions made of console commands directly in the Cycle Action editor, see below + example and details here
In other words, to create your own console actions, you do not need to create/tweak a text file anymore (i.e. reaconsole_customcommands.txt)
=> better action names, for example: a custom "Select bass tracks" instead of "SWS: Run console command: s*bass*"
=> simpler configuration (no file edition/re-start)
=> benefit from other Cycle Actions' features: toggle state reporting, etc..
=> indirectly fixes little issues on OS X
Note: although it is deprecated now, the file reaconsole_customcommands.txt still parsed for ascendant compatibility
- New command 'x' to add track FX by names, see examples and details here
Note: the command will do nothing if the FX is already present
- New command '/' to send local OSC messages (as if they were sent by a device on the network), see examples and details here
Longer console commands.. but this opens a bunch of doors: receives, sends, FX parameters, FX presets, etc..
- Issue 484: the ReaConsole window is now modeless, dockable, resizable, etc..
=> key shortcuts swap!
- The ENTER key runs a command and now keeps the Console window open
- CTRL+ENTER (CMD+ENTER on OS X) will now close the Console window after running a command
- Fixed a few console commands' undo points that were ignored
Cycle Action editor updates
- Added instruction CONSOLE to run ReaConsole commands, see example and details here
Example: CONSOLE x ReaComp
Reminder: the syntax of ReaConsole commands is detailed here
- More helpful messages
- Improved toggle states for cycle actions using instructions IF and IF NOT
Ported more features to OS X:
- Theme helpers for OS X (actions referenced in the WALTER user manual):
- SWS/S&M: Show theme helper (all tracks)
- SWS/S&M: Show theme helper (selected tracks)
- More toolbar auto-refresh actions:
- SWS/S&M: Toolbar - Toggle offscreen item selection (top)
- SWS/S&M: Toolbar - Toggle offscreen item selection (bottom)
- More CMD+A support in text fields (select all)
Issue 524: new actions to detect and unselect offscreen items (just to unify the 4 existing actions "Toggle offscreen item selection (left/right/top/bottom)")
- SWS/S&M: Unselect offscreen items
- SWS/S&M: Toolbar - Toggle offscreen item selection
This one deselects offscreen items and reselects them on toggle
- Reminder: toolbar buttons of those actions automatically light-up when at least one selected item is offscreen
(the option "Main menu > Extensions > SWS options > Auto-refresh toolbars" must be enabled)
Other:
- Cue buss dialog box: key shortcuts pass through to the main window
- Fixed potential issues with relative paths like "./stuff.rpp"
v2.3.0 #12 (January 30, 2013)
Automatic check for updates:
- Option can be found in REAPER > Extensions > About SWS Extensions
- Performed once per day (startup check is silent, user gets notified only if new version is available)
- Turned on by default for official updates
- When searching manually (instead of startup search) both official and beta updates are checked
Tempo improvements:
- Convert project markers to tempo markers:
- More sane results when creating gradual tempo changes (thanks to middle points)
- Option to split middle point into 2 points to smooth things out
- Added actions:
- SWS/BR: Randomize selected tempo markers...
- SWS/BR: Delete tempo marker (preserve overall tempo and positions if possible)
- SWS/BR: Set tempo marker shape to linear (preserve positions)
- SWS/BR: Set tempo marker shape to square (preserve positions)
- SWS/BR: Set tempo marker shape (options)...
- SWS/BR: Increase/Decrease tempo marker (preserve it's time position) (% and BPM versions)
=> These actions are mostly intended for manipulation of linear (gradual) tempo. See documentation for more
- SWS/BR: Alter slope of gradual tempo marker (increase/decrease) (% and BPM versions)
=> As the name suggest, these actions work only on gradual tempo markers. See documentation for more
- SWS/BR: Create project markers from selected tempo markers
- SWS/BR: Create project markers from notes in selected MIDI items
- Other:
- All dialogs under SWS/BR:
- Options are preserved through sessions
- Tiny OS X cosmetic fixes
- All existing tempo operations should be much faster when dealing with a lot of points
- Tiny renames of move actions for easier readability
- Documentations available on wiki.cockos.com, namely here and here
=> Big thanks to user G-Sun for all the wiki work, suggestions and testing
Added actions:
- Issue 544: SWS/S&M: Set project startup action (and SWS/S&M: Clear project startup action)
Note: startup actions are defined per project. If you need to run an action when launching REAPER (or with new blank projects),
define a project template (in Preferences > Project) and a startup action for this template.
- SWS/BR: Check for new SWS version...
Fix for OSC & MIDI CC relative "mode 3" learn
v2.3.0 #11 (January 15, 2013)
Fix for snapshot merge crash
v2.3.0 #10 (January 11, 2013)
Live Configs: support OSC and rotary controllers
- Improved the "learnability" of the following actions of the "S&M Extension" section, they have been renamed accordingly:
- SWS/S&M: Apply Live Config n (MIDI CC absolute only) -> SWS/S&M: Apply Live Config n (MIDI CC/OSC only)
- SWS/S&M: Preload Live Config n (MIDI CC absolute only) -> SWS/S&M: Preload Live Config n (MIDI CC/OSC only)
- Support all types of MIDI CC controllers (like endless rotary encoders)
- In addition to the "Absolute" mode, all "Relative" modes of the Learn dialog box are now supported too
- Acceleration is also supported
- Support OSC learn (OSC message with float parameter)
- Example: say you have learned the action "SWS/S&M: Apply Live Config 3 (MIDI CC/OSC only)" with the OSC message "/blabla",
sending "/blabla/f/107.0" will switch to the instrument/effect #107 of the Live Config #3
Added actions (customizable in the S&M.ini file):
- SWS/S&M: Bypass all FX (except n) for selected tracks - where 'n' is in [1; 8] by default
- Might be useful for FX comparisons (A/B)
- SWS/S&M: Set all FX (except n) offline for selected tracks - where 'n' is in [1; 8] by default
- Might be useful for live applications
The following new actions are a bit specific, so they are hidden by default (n=0 in the S&M.ini file)
- SWS/S&M: Unbypass all FX (except n) for selected tracks
- SWS/S&M: Set all FX (except n) online for selected tracks
- SWS/S&M: Dummy toggle n
- These actions just report a toggle state
- SWS/S&M: Exclusive toggle n
- These actions just report a toggle state, only one of them is ON at a time (all others are automatically turned OFF)
ReaScript:
Auto color/icon:
- Fixed color edition in place in the list view
- Fixed possible crash when the extension is localized
Other:
- Updated action "Xenakios/SWS: Randomize item positions...":
- Added an option to move all grouped items by the same amount
- All actions of the "S&M Extension" section now support OSC and rotary controllers
v2.3.0 #9 (December 23, 2012)
Live Configs: big overhaul, merged a dedicated extension plugin.
The fine details will be posted in this thread/PDF (not up-to-date yet!), in the meantime major changes are:
- New "core" to ensure smooth/glitch-free config switches, new "All notes off" logic (now optional)
- Added Preload feature: you can prepare an instrument/effect while playing another
This can be done with a second controller (click the new "Learn" button) or multi-touch gesture (see below).
Once a config is preloaded, you can switch/switch-back between the preloaded and the current config with new actions like
"SWS/S&M: Live Config n - Apply preloaded config (swap preload/current)"
Preload comes in handy when switching FX chains, or Track Templates or with the new option "Offline all but active/preloaded tracks" (see below)
- Added Monitoring windows, demo here
- Useful with controllers that do not provide visual feedback
- Support 2 fingers scroll gesture over "Current" and "Preload" areas, e.g. switch or preload instruments/effects with a trackpad
- Click on the "Preload" area to swap the preloaded and the current config
- Up to 4 Monitor Windows can be used simultaneously, i.e. one per Live Config/controller
- Added (per config) option: "Offline all but active/preloaded tracks (RAM savings)"
When enabled, instruments/effects will be only be loaded for the current and preloaded tracks.
Other tracks that are not part of the config will remain as they are, of course.
This option works without preload too (switches will be slower though).
Note: handle with care! Do not use <del>this option with</del> buggy instruments/effects!
- Added (per config) option: "Ignore switches to empty configs"
When enabled, you will switch to the next/previous valid config whatever is the gap of empty configs in between.
Especially useful for -/+ controllers (like pedals) and "Apply next/previous config" actions
- Added (per config) option: "Send all notes off when switching configs"
- Added (per config) option: "Select/scroll to track on list view click"
- Added (per config) option "Automatically update sends from the input track"
When enabled, sends of the "Input track" will be automatically created/updated,
each a new track is added/removed from the editor's list view, for example
- New logic for "Activation" and "Deactivation" actions/macros/scripts:
- If a track is defined for a config (a row), only this track will be selected when the
"Activation" (or "Deactivation") action is performed.
Track selection is restored right after the action is performed.
=> Useful since many actions deal with "selected track(s)"
- If no track is defined for a config, no track will be selected when the "Activation" (or "Deactivation")
action is performed, track selection is restored right after
=> Useful to master the current selection state when performing actions
- Added "Tiny fades" knob
It tweaks lengths of tiny fades-out/in when deactivating/activating configs.
Disabling fades is allowed but instrument/effect switches might be glitchy!
Note: when a config is made of trailing effects (delay, verb, etc..), you can either disable tiny fades,
or better, route the (tiny faded) audio to a track which is not used by the Live Configs
- Added "Learn" button: direct action learn for "Apply" and "Preload" actions
- Added "Create input track" in the context menu (creates a track with needed properties and sends)
- Added "Switch delay" knob (no more S&M.ini file tweaks needed). One "Switch delay" per config.
- Added a bunch of actions (preload, toggle options or tiny fades on/off, open/close monitoring windows, etc..): filter the action list with "Live Config"!
Note: some of the new actions are very specific and thus hidden by default (customizable in the S&M.ini file)
- New context menu items in the Live Configs editor:
- Copy/cut/paste configs (rows)
- Insert config (shift rows up/down) + obey INSERT key
- Apply/preload configs
- Shortcuts: "Show FX chain..." and "Show routing window..." in Track column and Input track context menus
Region Playlist
- Playlist re-synchronization when seeking by hand or via actions (issue 532)
Use-case example: now, you can also use actions like "Regions: Go to region #n" to switch regions defined in a playlist
Note: when seeking to a position that is not part of the playlist, the extension will switch back ASAP to the region it was supposed to play
- Re-synchronize the playlist when editing it while playing (or when its regions are edited)
- Fixed various corner cases: audio block rounding, possible issues with unknown regions (e.g. deleted), etc..
- Improved monitoring mode (separate region numbers and region names, display number of remaining loops, new red "sync loss" status, etc..)
- Added options (in the context menu): "Seek play" and "Scroll view when selecting regions"
- Reorganized the window a bit: added columns, moved playlist length as tooltip, etc..
Cycle actions
- Added basic instructions: IF, IF NOT, and LOOP n
This is mainly to ensure consistent toggle states for cycle actions but this also introduces conditional macros, see details and examples here
This is a "basic" support because you cannot yet have nested LOOPs or nested IFs. However you can have an IF in a LOOP or a LOOP in an IF.
- Toggle cycle actions now report real toggle states (i.e. the state of the first relevant action)
- Cycle action editor
- Right list view: insert commands rather than adding them (avoids to systematically drag new commands)
- Right list view: added "Add/insert instruction" in the context menu
- Various tweaks, including new tiny buttons to enlarge list views
Export functions to ReaScript
- Fixed possible FNG function crash
- Added functions:
- SNM_RemoveReceivesFrom()
- SNM_SelectResourceBookmark()
- SNM_TieResourceSlotActions()
- Updated API, updated SNM_AddReceive() to obey preferences
Added actions
- Added "go to" marker/region actions
REAPER already proposes 30 goto actions for markers and 40 for regions,
so those new actions are just meant to target up to 99 regions/markers, they are hidden by default!
This number of actions is customizable in the S&M.ini file
Note: comes in handy with the new Region Playlist "re-synchronization" feature, see above
- SWS/S&M: Go to marker n (obeys smooth seek)
- SWS/S&M: Go to region n (obeys smooth seek)
- Issue 528:
- SWS/S&M: Insert marker at edit cursor
- SWS/S&M: Insert marker at play cursor
- Issue 535:
- SWS: Select unmuted items
- SWS: Select unmuted items on selected tracks
- New on OS X (were already there on Windows OS):
- SWS/S&M: Dump action list (w/o SWS extension)
- SWS/S&M: Dump action list (SWS extension only)
- SWS/S&M: Dump action list (custom actions only)
All list views:
- Obey to HOME, END, PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys
- OS X: obey to CMD-A like on Windows OS (select all)
- Windows OS: fixed a themed grid line glitch
Other:
- Fixed possible Auto color/icon crash when exiting REAPER
- Fixed possible crash with FX selection actions
- OS X: directory browsers allow directory creation (issue 511)
- OS X: fixed single line tooltips
- The action "SWS/S&M: Insert silence (measures.beats)" now supports tempo/time signature markers
- Offline FX actions now fully unload VST plugins
- Localization: sorted menus like default English menus
- Snapshot window: replaced the button "show/hide options" with 2 tiny buttons, i.e. fixes this report
- Resources window: moved the tick box "Tie slot actions to this bookmark" to the context menu ("advanced" stuff)
- Updated all S&M windows: removed margins when possible, every pixel counts!
v2.3.0 #8 (November 1, 2012)
Region playlist: new features for live use!
- Support for infinite region loops, screenshot here
Such regions will loop forever unless you switch to another region thanks to the new actions "Play previous/next region (smooth seek)".
- Added "Monitoring" mode, i.e. displays current/next regions with a "big font", screenshot here
Click the new lock button to toggle monitoring/edition modes (or use the new related action).
Note: the "big font" name can be customized in the S&M.ini file ("BigFontName" in the section [RegionPlaylist])
- Added actions:
- SWS/S&M: Region Playlist - Play previous region (smooth seek)
- SWS/S&M: Region Playlist - Play next region (smooth seek)
- SWS/S&M: Region Playlist - Toggle monitoring/edition mode
- Seek play when switching regions/playlists
- Project edition:
- Improved append/paste playlist/regions commands and actions (faster)
- Fixed possible undo unstability for "crop project to playlist" commands/actions
Export functions to ReaScript

Export functions to ReaScript
- Added functions (more details in REAPER > Main menu > Help > HTML Lists > ReaScript documentation):
- SNM_MoveOrRemoveTrackFX
- SNM_SetProjectMarker
- SNM_GetProjectMarkerName - because ReaScript cannot handle the char** param of RPR_EnumProjectMarkers()
- Issue 520: removed SNM_DeleteObject, added SNM_DeleteFastString
Added actions
- Issue 517: SWS/S&M: Open selected item path in explorer/finder
- SWS/S&M: Remove selected FX for selected tracks
- SWS/S&M: Dump action list (custom actions only)
- SWS/BR: Move edit cursor to next/previous envelope point

- SWS/S&M: Toolbar top item selection toggle -> SWS/S&M: Toolbar - Toggle offscreen item selection (top)
- SWS/S&M: Toolbar bottom item selection toggle -> SWS/S&M: Toolbar - Toggle offscreen item selection (bottom)
- SWS/S&M: Toolbar track envelopes in touch/latch/write mode toggle -> SWS/S&M: Toolbar - Toggle track envelopes in touch/latch/write
Tempo manipulation improvements:
- Convert project markers to tempo markers:
- Added an option to create gradual tempo changes (aka linear tempo points)
- Select and adjust tempo markers improvements:
- Option to invert selection only if marker obeys criteria. (possible usage: invert only within time selection)
- Added button for deselecting markers that conform to criteria
- Added button that toggles supplementary dialog which lets you deselect every Nth marker selected (possible usage: easier manipulation of linear points)
v2.3.0 #6 (October 3, 2012)

- Fixed unused translations in various windows/dialog boxes
- Fixed stupid assumption that plural strings always end with 's'
- Auto-resize some buttons according to string lengths
Notes for translators:
- A new SWS Template LangPack file is available here
- The following tools are intentionally not localized (to avoid useless translations):
- S&M Find (a new version will come at some point)
- SWS TrackList (might be removed at some point, over exceeded by the new native Track Manager)
- A few (exotic) Xenakios tools
Export functions to ReaScript
- Added functions (more details in REAPER > Main menu > Help > HTML Lists > ReaScript documentation):
- SNM_GetSetObjectState()

Added actions:
- SWS/BR: Move selected tempo markers forward
- SWS/BR: Move selected tempo markers back
- SWS/BR: Move selected tempo markers forward X ms
- SWS/BR: Move selected tempo markers back X ms
Note: These actions don't screw with unselected points positions. Ideal for extensive tempo manipulation.
First two actions move points depending on zoom, more zoom means less movement - recommended for keybinding.
Others move points by predetermined values in milliseconds
- SWS/BR: Select and adjust tempo markers...
- SWS/BR: Move edit cursor to next/previous envelope point and select it
- SWS/S&M: Pan active takes of selected items to 25%, 50%, and 75% left and right

- "SWS/S&M: Set selected tracks folder states to on" -> "[...] to parent"
- "SWS/S&M: Set selected tracks folder states to off" -> "[...] to normal"
- Added actions (they were missing for the above ones to make sense..):
- SWS/S&M: Set selected tracks folder states to last of all folders
- SWS/S&M: Set selected tracks folder states to last in folder
Note: when this last action is performed on a track which is already the last one in a folder,
running it again will turn the track into the last in the innermost and next-innermost folders, etc..
Region playlist
- Paste/crop to playlist: make sure envelopes are pasted too
(whatever is the pref. "Envelope points move with media items")
- Avoid "flashy" cursor while playing playlists
- Reorganized the window/context menus a bit
Other

- Applying a track template file that contains several tracks now obeys multi-track selection - Example: applying folder tracks to other projects
Reminder: track template files can be applied in 2 different ways, either use items/envelopes present in template files or preserve existing items/envelopes, see details here
The following updates deal with the latter option:
- Applying track templates now preserves all existing track envelopes (except FX parameter envelopes since FX Chains are replaced with templates' ones)
- Applying track templates now preserves folder states

- Do not force envelope points updates when pasting/cropping a playlist but obeys the preference "envelope points move with media items" instead (so both behaviors are now possible: copy/move envelope points or not)

This file should be merged with the main translated REAPER LangPack file as explained here.

Note: localization of the SWS extension is coming soon!
Added new "S&M Region Playlist" window - Screenshot
Useful to preview different song structures (i.e. non-linear play) and apply them via the command "Crop project to playlist".
Use the context menu to add/remove/etc.. regions, use drag-drop to reorder regions in the playlist. Undo points are created for playlist editions.
Manage several playlists: top left dropdown box and tiny plus/minus buttons. Playlists are saved in project files.
Note: the play preview is based on "smooth seeking" so regions are played until the next measure (start positions of regions do not matter). Croping a project to a playlist will respect regions boundaries, of course.

- Maximum number of bookmarks raised to 32

FX presets actions improvements: OS X support + improved on Windows OS (use new dedicated APIs)
Added in the main section of the action list (new on OS X):

- Fixed all S&M copy/cut/paste sends/receives/routings actions (possible problem with multi track selection, see issue 174).
Note: this also fixes SWS smart cut/copy actions: "SWS: Copy items/tracks/env, obeying time sel" and "SWS: Cut items/tracks/env, obeying time sel"
- Auto Color/Icon: fixed broken drag-drop of rows (i.e. useful to order rule priorities - reminder: drag-drop only works when the sorted column is the 1st one!)

v2.0.0 #19 (April 29, 2011)
Added toolbar actions with "auto-refreshed" button states (if the new option "Main menu > Extensions > SWS Options > Enable toolbars auto refresh" is ticked):
- SWS/S&M: Toolbar right item selection toggle
- SWS/S&M: Toolbar left item selection toggle
- SWS/S&M: Toolbar top item selection toggle - Windows OS only!
- SWS/S&M: Toolbar bottom item selection toggle - Windows OS only!
These actions are to prevent user errors with selected items that are offscreen.
The idea is to put those actions into a toolbar: they will light up when some selected items are not visible in the arrange (offscreen).
Clicking those buttons will deselect offscreen items (and re-selects them on toggle).
See details, howto and toolbar auto-refresh anim here.
- AW's grid actions button states now reflect the current grid setting (when changed elsewhere in REAPER)
See grid toolbar auto-refresh anim here and details about Adam's grid actions here.
- SWS/S&M: Toolbar track envelopes in touch/latch/write mode toggle
This action sets track envelopes that are in one of the write modes into read mode and re-sets those previous write modes on toggle. Related toolbar buttons will light up if any envelope is in one of the write modes.
- SWS/S&M: Toggle toolbars auto refresh enable
Added FX preset actions (v4 only, see implementation remarks here). They works with any type of FX and any presets (user or factory presets):
- SWS/S&M: Trigger next preset for selected FX of selected tracks

- SWS/S&M: Trigger next preset for FX n of selected tracks - where 'n' is in [1; 4]

Remarks: these 2 last MIDI actions are present in the "S&M Extension" section (see top right dropdown in the action dialog box).
They are a bit different from the native "Link to PG change" feature: they work with any type of FX (e.g. JS).
Bonus: since v4, "Program Change" MIDI events can be learned.
- S&M Live Configs window: the "User preset" column is back !
Added other actions:

- SWS/S&M: Find previous
- Preserve the searched string (when closing, undocking, etc.)
- Added shortcuts when the window is focused (F3 = find next, shift-F3 = find previous)
Fixes, tweaks, house cleaning:
- Fixed issue 287 (Unexpected behavior of "SWS/S&M: focus next floating fx for selected tracks (cycle)")
- Many S&M track FX (and FX chain) actions run faster ("fix" for this report)
- All S&M track envelope arming actions now support v4 panning (width/dual pan)
- Updated "SWS/S&M: Dump ALR Wiki summary [snip]" actions (FNG extension merge)
- Removed "SWS/S&M: Toggle show all routing windows" (too much limitations)
- Removed "SWS/S&M: Toggle show all envelope windows" (too much limitations)

Added actions:
- Issue 256: "SWS: Toggle auto add envelopes when tweaking in write mode"
- Issue 280: "SWS: Toggle grid lines over/under items"

House cleaning, removed "duplicated" actions (remaining focus actions now also focus the main window on cycle):
- SWS/S&M: Focus previous floating FX for selected tracks (+ main window on cycle)
- SWS/S&M: Focus next floating FX for selected tracks (+ main window on cycle)
- SWS/S&M: Focus previous floating FX (+ main window on cycle)

- SWS/S&M: Reassign MIDI learned channel of selected FX for selected tracks (prompt)
- SWS/S&M: Reassign MIDI learned channels of all FX to input channel for selected tracks
Fixes:
- Some v4 empty take lanes management in S&M actions
- "Load/apply and Load/paste fx chain to selected tracks" actions that were adding input-fx-chains instead of standard track-fx-chains
Shift-click in marker list now makes a time selection
v2.0.0 #14 (March 1, 2011)
Performance improvements (REAPER startup, S&M actions related to notes, FX, FX chains and track grouping)
S&M FX chains actions now properly manage FX comments

- SWS/S&M: Cut input FX chain from selected tracks
- SWS/S&M: Paste (replace) input FX chain to selected tracks
- SWS/S&M: Paste input FX chain to selected tracks
Remark:
- With S&M FX chain actions, you can copy a FX chain from a track, an item and paste it as an *input* FX chain and vice et versa (shared FX chain clipboard)
- v4 only! (those actions are visible in v3 but are no-op)
S&M Resources window updates:
- Auto save button (top right) now *adds* new slots. Note: before, a new slot was inserted before the selected one but this could mess slot actions (because all following slot ids were changed..)
- Auto save button now proposes to define the auto save directory when needed
- Tweaks (better undo wordings, few user prefs were not saved, popup menu clean-up, etc.)
In "FX chain" mode (i.e. "FX chain" selected in the top left dropdown box):

Fixed sws-autocoloricon.ini reading on OS X
S&M Find now supports v4 empty take lanes
Fixed issue 262: pre-FX and post-fader S&M cue buss actions now obey send & HW output default prefs (i.e. prefrences > project > track/send defaults). Note: pre-fader busses still mimic the volume of selected tracks.

Removed "SWS: Toggle auto fades for new items", use native "Toggle enable/disable default fadein/fadeout" instead
v2.0.0 #10 (February 7, 2011)
Support for v4 empty take lanes:
- S&M build lanes actions now turn "take mosaics" into lanes using v4 empty takes (rather than v3 empty takes)
These actions still useful to create take lanes à la v4 from older project saved with "mosaics", for example.
- The action "S&M Remove empty take/item among selected items" now also removes v4 empty takes
Remark: this action was limited to v3 empty takes before, i.e. takes with empty source
- The action "S&M Clear active take/items" now clears takes using v4 empty takes (rather than v3 empty takes). If all takes of an item are empty, the item is removed.

- Tagged action "Xenakios/SWS: Project media..." as deprecated
Issue 50: SWS: Create regions from sel item(s) named with take
Issue 126: Warn about recording same inputs on multiple tracks: http://www.standingwaterstudios.com/shup/RecInputCheck.png Also added actions "SWS: Enable/Disable checking for duplicate inputs when recording."
Issue 244: Added "SWS: Set selected take(s) to custom color X" actions
Issue 246: Added toolbar-status only action "SWS: Are any tracks soloed? [no-op, for toolbar]"

v2.0.0 #1 (January 19, 2011)
BETA: CAUTION !
Due to a change in the way S&M.ini file is managed, you may face some issues when switching between SWS official <-> SWS beta.
Well, a clean upgrade is automatically managed when SWS official -> SWS beta, but you'll probably loose your FX Chains setup when switching back to SWS beta -> SWS official.
So a backup of the "official" S&M.ini might be a good idea (or sticking with the beta as the new S&M.ini format won't change).
Short changelog:
- PiP support
- Many S&M updates (including new "Resources" window: FX chains + Track templates + goodies). See details below.
- Updated SWS Autocolor view: now also features auto track icon. Demo here.
- Preliminary V4 updates (S&M, Padre, Xenakios)
- House cleaning, fixes
Changelog details:
Added S&M Resources window
The "FX chains" view turned into a "Resources" window: FX chains + Track templates + goodies
The same features that exist for FX chains are now available for track templates too. A cool thing now is that we can patch existing tracks with track templates (and not only "add track template as new track"). Well, some other sort of snapshots..
Also, saving track templates and FX chains is eased thanks to the "auto-save" feature, see below. A new feature "Auto-fill" also allows creating slots automatically.
Bonus: check out Tallisman's awesome FX Chain library, here!
- Auto-save feature:
An "Auto-save" button has been added: it automatically saves the selected tracks' FX chains (or track templates) and insert the related files/slots in the resource list.
It's a one "click feature", i.e. no file browser is displayed: filenames are automatically generated from track names and saved in REAPER's default FX chains (or track templates) resource path.
This "auto save" directory can be customized (new popup menu items "Set auto save directory") and filenames can now be renamed ("Name" column is editable).
- Auto-fill feature:
If not already present, all FX chain (or track template) files found in the related resource path and its sub-folders are automatically inserted at the selected slot.
- Applying track templates preserves items:
- if there's no item present in an applied track template file, the current ones are preserved
- if some items are present in an applied track template file, those ones are used instead
- if several tracks are present in a track template file, only the first one is used (when *applying*, when importing, all tracks present in the file are added)
- New actions:
- SWS/S&M: Open Resources window (FX chains)... - just renamed (replaces "Open FX chains view...")
- SWS/S&M: Open Resources window (track templates)...
- SWS/S&M: Load/apply track template to selected tracks, slot n - where n is in [1;10]
- SWS/S&M: Load/apply track template to selected tracks, prompt for slot
- SWS/S&M: Load/import tracks from track template, slot n - where n is in [1;10]
- SWS/S&M: Load/import tracks from track template, prompt for slot
- SWS/S&M: Clear track template slot...
Added actions that paste FX chains slots (exiting ones only "apply", i.e. replace FX Chains):
- SWS/S&M: Load/paste FX chain to selected tracks, slot n - where n is in [1;8]
- SWS/S&M: Load/paste FX chain to selected tracks, prompt for slot
- SWS/S&M: Load/paste FX chain to selected items, slot n - where n is in [1;8]
- SWS/S&M: Load/paste FX chain to selected items, prompt for slot
- SWS/S&M: Load/paste FX chain to selected items, all takes, prompt for slot
- New popup menu items:
- For FX chains and track templates: added "Auto fill (from resource path)"
- Load/apply track template to selected tracks
- Load/import tracks from track template
- Set FX chain auto save directory...
- Set track template auto save directory...
- Auto save FX chains and insert slots (from track selection)
- Auto save track templates and insert slots (from track selection)
-> those 2 last menu items do the same things than the auto-save button, files are saved and inserted at the selected slot
- Delete slots & files
-> on Win, files are sent to the recycle bin
- Show path in Explorer/Finder...
- Column "Name" is now editable (file renaming from the view)
- Drag-drop improvements:
- Internal drag-drop of slots (i.e. now moves slots rather than copying them)
- More 'natural' + fixed shortcomings: d'n'd of empty slots, selection after d'n'd, d'n'd when the list is empty, etc..
- On Win, "Display track template/FX chain" (in the popup menu) now launches notepad
- Paths pointing to unexisting files aren't emptyied anymore
- Tagged "Xenakios/SWS: Load track template n" actions as deprecated
Updated SWS Autocolor view: now also features auto track icon (the view has been renamed into "SWS Auto Color/Icon"), demo here.
- Added a column "Icon" in the view (right-click in this column or double-click it to set an icon filename) and a tick box "Enable auto icon".
- Also added action "SWS/S&M Toggle auto icon enable".
Rmk: your current color configurations will be preserved when upgrading..
S&M Notes/help view updates:
- Action help: now, when selecting custom macros, the related (veeeery long!) custom id is displayed in the text field (i.e. custom notes about macros are no more saved but that eases the copy/paste of custom ids)
- Action help: added "ALR" button, i.e. online help to the Action List Reference wiki
- Added actions in order to make things clear:
- SWS/S&M: Open Notes/Help window (project notes)...
- SWS/S&M: Open Notes/Help window (item notes)...
- SWS/S&M: Open Notes/Help window (track notes )...
- SWS/S&M: Open Notes/Help window (action help)...
Remark: here's an anim showing how to use notes, action help & online help
S&M Live Configs updates:
- Added "Auto track selection" option/tick box
- Fixed activate/deactivate actions not obeying the config's "Enable" parameter
- Added actions (in the main section) "SWS/S&M: Toggle enable live config n" - where n is in [1;8]
- Added advanced parameter "CC_DELAY" in S&M.ini (in REAPER's resource directory) - to be tweaked manually!
If this parameter is set to 0, MIDI CC events will trigger their related "Apply live config" action *immediately* but, in this case, when moving a fader on a large scale for example, all configs in between will also be applied. With a delay (e.g. 250ms, the default value) only the last stable CC value will be taken into account.
- Undo points for all controls
S&M Cue buss:
- "Open Cue Buss window" is now a toggle action (+ reports a toggle state)
- When creating a cue buss, auto scroll to created the track (TCP)
S&M house cleaning:
- Cleaned the main "Extensions" menu a bit + added following menu items:
- S&M Cue Buss...
- S&M Find...
- S&M Live Configs...
- Removed the following split actions:
Contrary to their related native versions, the following ones were splitting selected items *and only them*, see this related thread.
Due to REAPER v3.67's new native pref "If no items are selected, some split/trim/delete actions affect all items at the edit cursor",
those actions are less useful (well, they would still split only selected items even if that native pref is ticked).
Also removed because of the spam in the action list (many split actions).
- SWS/S&M: Split selected items at play cursor
- SWS/S&M: Split selected items at time selection
- SWS/S&M: Split selected items at edit cursor (no change selection)
- SWS/S&M: Split selected items at time selection (select left)
- SWS/S&M: Split selected items at time selection (select right)
- SWS/S&M: Split selected items at edit or play cursor
- SWS/S&M: Split selected items at edit or play cursor
- Removed the following take actions:
Due to native actions "Rotate take lanes forward/backward" added in REAPER v3.67 (move active take up/down actions still there, of course).
- SWS/S&M: Takes - Move all up (cycling) in selected items"
- SWS/S&M: Takes - Move all down (cycling) in selected items"
Other S&M updates/fixes:
- Added action: SWS/S&M: Left mouse click at cursor position (use w/o modifier)
- Themable GUIs: hover, pressed,.. states for buttons, actions are now performed on mouse up events, un-stretched PNGs, default focus tweaks, tick boxes look better, use theme 3D colors for dropdows (if defined), etc..
- Fixed Notes/help and Resources views toggle states
- Fixed Adam's Fills Gaps actions
- Fixed disabled some popup items not being grayed
- Fixed UI refresh issues for "Find" and "Notes/help" views
Issue 225: Fixed selected text in Notes/help view when switching between docker tabs
