Indicate which FX has window open...? #10

Open martinfabian opened 3 years ago

martinfabian commented 3 years ago

Currently, there is no indication that an FX has its window open. This could be of us, for example to know by a glance which FX is currently being edited. Would also be useful to know that when clicking an FX that indicates that its window is open, that window will close.

There are (at least) two ways to solve this.

  1. Add a "window open" flag in the FX properties
  2. Use a openwin_list, as was thought about to fix the focus issue.

The first case would be simple and fast when drawing the FX, simply check that extra flag. The other case would maybe be slower for drawing (unless some clever caching could be done), but would allow maybe to handle the focus issue in a better way...

But then... Reaper itself does not indicate whether an FX has its window open or not...
