API: Delete/Remove Take function

[X-Raym]

Hi,

There is no delete takes from items API function, it require handling items chunk.

There is some BR actions which does that like for deleting item under mouse like this :

SNM_TakeParserPatcher takePatcher(mouseInfo.GetItem());
takePatcher.RemoveTake(mouseInfo.GetTakeId());

I think this could be exposed to ReaScript.

It could be DeleteTake( *take) or simply DeleteTakeFromItem( item, id )

What do you think ?

Cheers !

Maybe check how Breeder deletes takes in his script?

Haven't looked at the code myself, would that be a viable alternative?

It's funny, because Breeder himself complained about a missing delete take function ;)

@StephanRoemer This is why I posted the request 😄

@nofishonfriday most advanced lua solution only is mpl's take parser. But it's Lua only. I would choose this solution if I needed it right now personally, but it is more like a "would be good to have in the future cause we never know" type of request. It's surprising that this isn't already a native function.
