Question: I'm currently documenting the technical side of the bouncing feature and noticed, that the bounce-format-string differs from the render-format-string by an additional byte at the end of the string, that changes when I change things. How is this byte calculated? Is it a crc?

Yeah, the ones stored in reaper.ini in bouncecfg and bouncecfg_sz. They have an additional byte at the end, when I decode them from hex to binary.

bouncecfg_sz looks like the length of the unencoded string, right?

This isn't specific to bounce, though, this is a feature of the win32 WritePrivateProfileStruct -- see github.com/justinfrankel/WDL/blob/...e.g.

Ah, so if I'm getting it right, all binary strings are stored this way. Good to know. I'll check the code you linked, this should help me tons. Thnx.
