Feature Request: > SWS: Toggle Ruler Red When Track(s) Armed For Recording about sws HOT 14 CLOSED

@DomMcsweeney

Will a script do? The script will have to constantly run in the background to monitor the state.

from sws.

The thing is that in the original script line 7 (indicated in the error message) is occupied by the script header which is commented out and normally cannot throw any error. Needless to say that on my end this problem doesn't occur.

It's possible that the script was downloaded incorrectly, like an HTML page for example. Please make sure that you use the download button on the script page. If you do and the script still produces the error, i guess i will need to see your version of the file, the actual code.

@Buy-One
ah, now it's working and that's awesome =)

1st attempt was: right click link > 'save link as'...
2nd attempt was: click link > 'download'

Got there in the end ....

Thank you!

@Buy-One it really is... thank you ever so much!

from sws.

No prob, glad it's useful.

Yes, in this respect in particular the SWS extension is shining. Look for Startup actions in the SWS menu.

Awesome, thank you very much indeed!
It works perfectly. =)

@Buy-One - I'd be happy to give it a go =)

Please try this one

Color ruler if tracks are record armed.lua

@Buy-One - something not quite right happening.
I added the script to a toolbar button, press the button and this pops up:

Great!

@Buy-One
Is there a way to auto-run the script on startup?

from sws.

Thanks! That works!

Is this possible only if you have SWS installed?
(Person who asked me about the whole idea of this script, still hasn't installed SWS, although this may persuade them!)

from sws.

Actually no. REAPER has a kind of under-documented feature of external file which is picked up by the program on startup without having to be imported into the Action list. It must be named __startup.lua (or __startup.eel but now it's less relevant) and paced in the root of the \Scripts folder.

So to run another script or action on startup using this file it must contain the following code:

-- between the quotes insert the command ID of a script/native action/custom action/SWS cycle action
local COMMAND_ID = ""
reaper.Main_OnCommand(reaper.NamedCommandLookup(COMMAND_ID), 0)
