From hopi: http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=63720 ___________________________________________________________

This maybe just in the latest pre ...or not...

there are two SWS actions:

Copy selected tracks sends

and

Paste sends to selected tracks

OK copy works... but then [dum de dum dum]

Paste only works to one selected track at a time...
so at the very least the action is mis-named!

I would expect to be able to select a bunch of tracks and paste the copied send to all of them at once stroke.... no???

I hope it's a small fix as this can be very handy.

fixed on the fly (will be part of the beta).
BTW, all these routing actions will also run much faster..

Initial report was not a bug in fact and the fix has introduced other probs (e.g. smart track copy/paste is broken)
New fix coming soon: when you copy SEVERAL TRACKS sends, paste should work on SEVERAL selected tracks too.
Example:
copy sends for 2 tracks 1 & 2 with sends like 1->3 and 2->4
paste sends to tracks 5 & 6 should do: 5->3 and 6->4
AND NOT: 5->3 + 5->4 and 6->3 + 6->4

if you copy SEVERAL TRACKS sends and paste them to 1 track only, only the sends of the 1st selected track will be ciopied and this is normal

the same goes with receives

^^ I meant "only the sends of the 1st selected track will be pasted and this is normal" and not "... ciopied ..."

ok, I know I come back and forth on this issue but I implemented a new solution ( r926 ) that should make everybody happy.

also below is a better explanation of what is going on (from http://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php?p=1061214&postcount=1529 ).

hey Tod, this is "by design": S&M paste sends/receives/routings actions just paste routings respectively, as they were copied. I mean, say you have:

• track 1 with a set of routings a
• track 2 with a set of routings b
• track 3 with a set of routings c
• track 4 with a set of routings d

Now say you copy those routings from tracks 1 and 2 and paste them to tracks 3 and 4

(1) You will get:

• track 3's routings = c+a
• track 4's routings = d+b

^^ i.e. multi-track support, another reason is SWS smart copy/cut/paste actions that are also based on this code: they copy/paste tracks (or items/envs but that's another story) with all their respective routings (contrary to native copy/paste tracks).

(2) What you describe would lead to this kind of paste:
=> track 3's routings = c+a+b
=> track 4's routings = d+a+b

---

That being said, as this "issue" is often reported (SWS Issues 174, 506 & other threads) and since these reports can make sense, I'll update routing actions for the next build like:
(1) when copying routings from x tracks / pasting to x tracks -OR- (2) when copying routings from x tracks / pasting to y tracks

(^^ looks complicated but I think it's intuitive..)
