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 (BETA) - 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.
Added related actions:

  • SWS/S&M: Open/close Region Playlist window
  • SWS/S&M: Play (Region Playlist)
    Important 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.

Live Configs:

  • OS X: FX presets support like on Windows OS
  • All FX presets are now supported via the new Learn command: VST patches (.fxp), AU factory/user Presets (.aupreset), etc.. Note: support was limited to user presets (.rpl files) before this version.

Resources window and related "slot actions":

  • All "SWS/S&M: Apply track template" actions now preserve receives. This is to use track templates a bit like snapsshots (track sends were already preserved).

  • New option to sync auto-save and auto-fill directories: changing one changes the other
  • Maximum number of bookmarks raised to 32
  • Issue 450: retain the last used path when loading slots

Label processor:

  • Added item duration (/D) and source offset (/O)

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):

  • SWS/S&M: Trigger next preset for FX n of selected tracks - where 'n' is in [1; 4], customizable in the S&M.ini file (up to 99 slots)

    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!)
  • SWS List views tweaks: drag-drop of multiple rows, no arrow displayed when not sortable, etc..

Added other actions:

  • SWS/IX: Import m3u/pls playlist. Imports local files from playlist to new track (streaming media ignored)

  • The Cycle action editor is now resizable, dockable, themable, etc..
    Note: import, export and reset features have been moved to the context menu!
  • Cycle actions are now saved in a distinct file S&M_Cyclactions.ini (they were saved in the S&M.ini file before)
    This is to ease REAPER's configurations export/import (ReaperConfigZip or copy/paste): the new S&M_Cyclactions.ini is exchangeable, not the S&M.ini file (which can contain local paths, etc..)
    Auto upgrade: the new S&M_Cyclactions.ini file is automatically created with your current cycle actions (if needed, a S&M_Cyclactions.BAK file is also saved).
  • OS X *Beta* support: to be enabled in the S&M.ini file, details here): same editor than on Windows OS (minus the "action learn" feature)

Live Configs:

  • Fixed possible crash on Win 7 (when switching projects)
  • Fixed possible loss of the "Input track" dropdown box (with veeeery long track names)

Resources window:

  • Track templates: new double click option, better context menu item names, etc..
  • Fixed possible crash when removing a custom resource type from the S&M.ini file
  • Limited "spam" in the action list: all slot actions now only have 4 instances by default (cutomizable at the end of the S&M.ini file, up to 99 slots per action)
    Note: your current slot actions are preserved, of course!

Notes/help: do not update region/marker names when playing and editing (but only when the view is locked)

S&M windows theming:
S&M windows now use themed buttons (i.e. toolbar_blank.png and composite_toolbar_overlay.png, if it exists)
List views also obey following colors of the Theme Editor (REAPER > v4.11, on Windows OS and OS X!) :

  • Window list selection bg
  • Window list selection fg

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: related toolbar buttons will light up when some selected items are not visible in the arrange.
    Clicking related buttons will also deselect items that are out of the current scope and re-selects them on toggle.
    See details, howto and toolbar auto-refresh anim here.

    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 previous 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 config window: the "User preset" column is back !

Added other actions:

  • SWS/S&M: Pan active takes of selected items to 100% right

  • 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)

  • main window on cycle)
  • SWS/S&M: Focus previous floating FX (

v2.0.0 #10 (February 7, 2011)

Support for v4 empty take lanes:

  • Tagged action "Xenakios/SWS: Project media..." as deprecated

Issue 50:  SWS: Create regions from sel item(s) named with take

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
    Abstract:
    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 improvments:
    - 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 reseted 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.
Rmk: current color configurations will be preserved when upgrading..

  • 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".

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. Just to make clear the online help (i.e. to the Action List Reference wiki) feature
  • 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 spliting 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
