FR API: Item Group Name (Get/Set) #1144

Open X-Raym opened 5 years ago

X-Raym commented 5 years ago

Hi,

Would it be possible to get/set items group name with SWS (if SWS can access such values) ?

It is located on .rpp tree root.

<REAPER_PROJECT 0.1 "5.974/x64" 1556546048
  GROUP 1 TestGroupName

It's based on a certain group index.

Cheers !

Maybe post in Reaper FR forum also (if you haven't already)? I mean can never hurt to try. :P

@nofishonfriday mespotine is exploring this solution but this will be lua code only, not accessible for Python and other language :P Though the logic of its code may maybe be ported to C++ ?

Anyway, the hardest part is the SET function...

I wonder how far he can go with it anyway !

@X-Raym I've toyed around with mespotine's idea (reading from a temp render queue file), mainly because I'm interested in getting the <POOLEDENV chunk for SWS, which we currently can't get via API either.

Hm..it seems to work but it's rather slow (writing a rq file than reading from it), certainly not suitable for background scripts, maybe for spare calls. Not sure yet if it will make it in SWS eventually, but you can check it out if you're interested (if so, tell me how it goes, if you think it'd be useful. You should at least be able to parse the items group names from it., and other stuff from project chunk we can't access currently) Better of course if we would get dedicated API functions for it. A 'set items group names function' I'm not able to do anyway it seems, yeah that's the actual hard part. :P

success, chunk = reaper.NF_GetRenderQueueStateChunk("")

reaper.ClearConsole()
reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(chunk)

Thanks for having explored this ! :)

So yes maybe native API will be better ^^
