Cut/Copy selected tracks sends: Runs if no sends on tracks

[MonkeyBars3k]

I consider this a bug.

If there are no sends on a track, then these actions will erase any previously cut/copied sends in the clipboard, effectively "cutting/copying no sends". This is pretty nonstandard behavior – as a user I would expect that the action would do nothing if no sends are found on the tracks.

Makes sense for these actions in isolation, however changing the behavior may have undesirable side effects:

• "SWS/S&M: Copy selected tracks (with routing)" -> Shouldn't this continue to clear the send/receive clipboard if copied tarcks have no sends/receives?
• "SWS/S&M: Copy selected tracks routings" -> What should happen if there are sends but no receives (or vice versa)? Clear the receive clipboard (current behavior)? Keep previous contents (suggested behavior)?

This post was specifically about the actions to cut/copy sends specifically.

I don't think the two actions you name ought to be changed...

👍 I've added special cases to "{Copy,Cut} selected tracks {sends,receives,routings}" for consistency while preserving the existing clipboard-clearing behavior if there's either sends or receives to copy or if it's "Copy selected tracks (with routing)". (All these actions run the same code.)

There are builds here if you'd like to try: #1690 (comment).

Sounds good!

I just tried out the new beta you linked and while Copy sends does not overwrite sends anymore (thanks!), I noticed that identical sends don't get copied – it only copies one of them. Is that intentional?

Can't duplicate here (tried creating two identical sends from track 1 to track 2, selected track 1, ran "Copy sends", selected track 3, ran "Paste sends" and it got both). Which steps are you using?

(Updated the build, fixed bugs occurring when not all selected tracks have sends.)

I just tried again and realized that it was user error. Apologies for that, works great! ack

Thanks!
