cycle action editor: additional 'command' that 'resets' that cycle to the start - step1.

I hope that explains.

the command would act like an action placed into the command list, but only exist in the cycle action editor.

this could allow user in combination with the existing 'wait' actions to only trigger an action with 2 short presses of a controller like a double click -

the first press perhaps giving an indicator of what the command was to be.

if i don't give the 2nd press within the (wait) time, the cycle action resets to step 1.

it could be used to prevent accidental action triggering in live situations for example, as user has to confirm to trigger, but they can confirm without having to hit 'enter' like with 'prompt to continue' - they confirm by just hitting the same button twice in short period.

simple really, sorry its a long winded explantion. last one from me!

thanks guys.

of course this applies to any cycle action with many steps. you could e.g have it reset to step 1 after 5 seconds, so each time you hit the assigned button you know where you are in the cycle. you get the idea.

I think this is almost what I wanted to request. We have the same problem here that affects using other toggle actions in combination. They get out of sync if one toggle is used manually (outside the cycle action) and the cycle action is still waiting to get toggled back. We could correct this problem if there were actions to reset cycle action x to its default state and to reset all cycle actions. These could be used in other macros where conflicts are anticipated.

Currently there are many instances where the toolbar state of the toggling cycle action is wrong and where we must press it twice before it has the desired effect. Or it just lights opposite of when it should.

Ideally, all toggle actions should be available as on/off as well since it can be hard to keep them synced when used in combination.

Thanks!

hey OuttrOMuziX, the original FR here is something different (to me, at last) but what you desvribe is indeed a prob. Just to let you know that recent SWS versions (>= v2.3.0 #9) now let you create cycle actions with consistent toggle states, see details here: http://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php?p=1090262&postcount=1136

i thought i remembered reading that cycle actions could now contain other cycle actions and check their toggle state? but it doesn't work for me. is this possible? or will it be?

still trying to get a cycle action to reset the states of other cycle actions...
