Question: Hello, I recently learned that JSFX is derived from the name “Jesusonic.” While I understand and appreciate that the original intention was to honor Jesus' teachings—such as kindness and care for others—I wanted to share a concern as a practicing Christian. The use of Jesus’ name in a technical or commercial context can be uncomfortable or even troubling for some believers, as it may feel irreverent, regardless of intent. With that in mind, I was wondering if you have ever considered changing the name—eit Asked by pdbae (118.131.5.x) on June 26 2025, 11:10pm Reply on June 26 2025, 11:54pm (edited at June 27 2025, 12:12am): The name is JSFX, so now you don't have to worry! lol. JSFX is free and open source at this point, so it's not really commercial, and if someone is troubled enough by a name that references a person, well, sorry. Comment... Question: Apologies for discussing Reaper, but this is a parculiar thing. Webview bug - think it might have gone amiss as it's not in the bug forum: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=... seems to commandeer the reaper resource path linked in the options menu of Reaper. Would be awesome if this didn't happen. I found a github discussion about it here: github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2F...

Sometimes I want to use colon in my slider description, for e.g, "slider3:0Conversion". But the colon after "Manual" is marked red though it compiles alright. That red highlight is bothering me, why red? I assumed red highlight meant unsupported character, is it future-proof to ignore and maintain the colon there?

Question: In the latest version, Reaper's own effect plugins have added a user translation feature. However, there is still much content that remains untranslatable.
