Question: Just discovered this : earsketch.gatech.edu/ It's nice to see a college curriculum based on Reaper! Is this EarSketch script very different from standard ReaScript?

    More or less yeah, though we'd probably come up with the same solutions some percentage of the time.

Question: Need to find out when reaper finished loading (including any startup project if they are set) and it seems SaveExtensionConfig gets called twice with isUndo = true. First just when loading start, and then again when loading finishes. Is it safe to use that (wait for a second call to SaveExtensionConfig to conclude loading finished for good)? It seems a bit

Reply on August 12 2013, 4:16pm:
    a bit hacky, but that's the only thing I managed to found (tried using GetCurrentProjectInLoadSave() but it doesn't work if called from another thread) (sorry for another lengthy 2part question)

    Hmm, loading state would be one way, but I dunno, what's the purpose of this? Also, anything from another thread is going to be tricky (and should probably be avoided if at all possible IMO)...

Question: When was the most fun time of your life? Now? Winamp days? If you had to groundhog day it, when would it be?
Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on August 11 2013, 3:48am
Reply on August 12 2013, 4:14pm (edited at August 13 2013, 6:15pm):
    Haha I dunno I think the days get better... if I had to pick a day, I don't know, that'd be tough as any day would get old eventually.

    Edit: my wife informs me that I've failed to answer the question. We had a discussion about it, then, and deciding that instead of groundhog day style, it would be just a good day that I would like to experience again. My mind mostly blanks. She described to me a day (which I remembered well enough, after she brought it up) that involved friends, food, drink, a warm backyard, and a cat. I'll go with that day.

Question: Speaking of AC/Heat Pumps, etc., have you ever considered applying your problem solving skills to non-programming domains? Couldn't you be just as creative and expressive with innovative solutions outside of code? Your brain/capability is clearly above average and not limited to programming.

Question: Any witchcraft to deal CL display on ancient editors (vi/emacs), I use them when I travel light. WDL has mixed line feeds and looks messy. I'm skeptical about dos2unix; at the moment I have a meta-function to hide them. Do you think there is a better way?
Asked by gio (94.66.16.x) on August 8 2013, 7:19am
Reply on August 8 2013, 1:52pm:
    Yeah, we need to fix this in WDL (sorry) -- in our repositories it is almost all DOS CRLF, but I think the way we merge changes in might cause that to fail in the public repos. I suppose every time we apply a patch to the public repos we could have it make everything just LF, that would probably be a good thing.

Question: I can see item label height (bit.ly/13AWn6z) is somehow tied to mediaitem_font from ColorTheme but I just can't crack how you calculate it. Care to share the secret? And sorry for a sudden flood of questions :)
Asked by Martin (93.139.55.x) on August 5 2013, 7:29pm
Reply on August 5 2013, 7:46pm (edited at August 5 2013, 7:47pm):
    I believe it is something like:
    int texth = abs(colortheme->mediaitem_font.lfHeight)*11/8;
if (laneh < 16) texth-=2;
