Has now 1029 functions with 44 new ones! Yes, I crossed the thousand!

New in this release:

  • Event Manager
    Killer Feature Time and long requested by many of you!
    The EventManager allows you to run actions, when certain states occur/statechanges occur.
    That way you can automatize running actions under certain circumstances without having to run your own defer-script for that.
    Kudos to @fernsehmuell, who was essential in the initial designs of it!

  • ShowXXXInputMenu
    Shows different Context-menus, like TrackInput, TrackPanel, TrackArea, TrackRouting, Ruler, MediaItem, Track/TakeEnvelope,
    EnvelopePoint, EnvelopePoint for Automation Items, AutomationItems-contextmenu.
    Reaper's own function ShowPopupMenu is quite difficult to use, so I made some, who make it easier.

  • RunLuaSourceCode
    Runs Luacode directly without having to create a script for it.

  • Main_OnCommand_LuaCode
    Runs Luacode as child-script directly without having to create a script for it.

  • GetTimeByMouseXPosition
    returns projecttime at x-screenposition, which can be nice for mouse-editing-specific actions.

  • ReplacePatternInString
    Like Lua's string.gsub(), this replaces a pattern within a string with a replacement string, but you can choose,
    which one shall be replaced. And unlike string.gsub() only that one will be replaced, not the occurences after that.

  • GetItem_ClickState and GetTrackEnvelope_ClickState
    Return, if a MediaItem/EnvelopePoint is currently clicked and hovered by the mouse. Could be used for some nice and handy things.

  • GetAllActions
    Sped up and returns now more attributes, like action-type(script, native, custom, extension), termination-state of scripts, consolidate-state for custom actions.

  • ConvertFunction_FromBase64String and ConvertFunction_ToBase64String
    Convert a Lua-function to/from a BASE64-string. That way, you can exchange functions via extstates. Convert to Base64-string, put the string into an extstate,
    read the string from the extstate and convert it back to a function.

  • Bugfixes and optimzations
    Optimized and bugfixed tons of other stuff, thanks to many bugreports and a lot of feedback from many of you.
    Big thanks for that :)
