API: Refresh SWS Notes Window #1885

Closed X-Raym closed 3 months ago

X-Raym commented 3 months ago

Hi,

We have reaper.NF_UpdateSWSMarkerRegionSubWindow() to refresh the SWS notes window, but these doesnt work in other cases (item notes for eg).

Would be nice to have a generic Refresh SWS Notes window function.

Not too high priority.

Best,

In which case does the SWS Notes window not correctly refresh by itself? That sounds like the root cause that should be fixed instead of adding a manual refresh function...

X-Raym commented 3 months ago

Basically, when the source of what it displays change by scripting. Region Subs, Markers Subs have their refresh function. But Items Notes doesnt seems to have it. I had to click on anothet item and get back to original one to refresh an item altered woth GetSetMediaItemInfo_Strong P_NOTES.

Here is a demo:

item = reaper.GetSelectedMediaItem(0,0)

str = ""A""

reaper.GetSetMediaItemInfo_String( item, "P_NOTES", str, true )

reaper.UpdateArrange()

reaper.UpdateTimeline()

As you can see, SWS Notes window also dont refresh automatically when modifying the source properties, even with native editing.

Note: I dont know how and why but it seems to work with your interactive reascript console:

I wonder what function is used in your script to allow such refreshing from script side

X-Raym commented 3 months ago

Oh, I checked your script and it seems the trick is this:

reaper.TrackList_AdjustWindows(false)
reaper.UpdateArrange()

This update notes window when using reascript.

Well, I guess we can close this then, unless we found a case where this doesnt work (havent tried with projectnotes and extra project notes)
