Reaper Auto-Color

Changed

• Requires REAPER 7.03 or later.
• Items column renamed to FI (force item colour) — items show their track colour without it.
• Minor layout changes — Options wording, wider filter column.

Fixed

• Toolbar buttons toggle without the "already running" prompt.

1.0.0

Reaper Auto-Color

First public release.

Added

• Colour by name — tracks, items, regions and markers, matched by substring, glob or regular expression.
• One rule list per object type — the first matching rule wins.
• Configuration stored outside the scripts location, to prevent overwriting on update.
• Configuration window — requires ReaImGui 0.10+.

Upgrading from 0.9.x: scripts moved to Scripts/MXM Scripts/MXM_AutoColor/. ReaPack relocates
the files; toolbar buttons, shortcuts and custom actions bound to the old path must be repointed.
