shortcircuit and "set fx online" will get reaper to freeze

What steps will reproduce the problem? Maybe a bit too specific but setting shortcircuit 1.1.2 (pretty common freeware-sampler, dl -> http://www.vemberaudio.se/pd/shortcircuit/shortcircuit-1_1_2.exe ) online in offline status will freeze reaper with actions:

SWS/S&M: Set FX x online for selected tracks
SWS/S&M: Toggle all/FX x online/offline for selected tracks

Sorry guys i wouldnt had posted it here, if it would happen with reaper's native actions too :).
But i dont care too much if its not fixable, just was observing..

What version of SWS extension are you using? (Extensions -> About SWS...)
2.0.0 B28 What is your Reaper version number and CPU architecture (e.g. Reaper 3.75 x64)? v4b12 What operating system are you running? (e.g. Windows XP/7, OSX 10.5.8 etc, 64bit?) win xp x86 sp3

Cheers

thanks for the report vetto!

I know this plug quite, well. I used it. Unfortunately, I consider it as buggy so I already dare I can't do something but I'll have a look. also, thx for the attached RPP too, it'll help!

Ok, confirmed in the offline->online direction and ONLY when the plug GUI (or related FX chain) is opened. I don't have shortcicuit sources but this is most probably due to an error in the GUI mgmt..
That being said, it's a "classic" issue, so if acceptable (?) I can most probably bring plugs online with closed GUI.

Great Jeffos, thanks for looking into that,
Just tested this again, your right, it only happens when the gui is opened. Thats great!
I think it would be more than acceptable :) if you have the time and not least the nerves to change all that code.
Like i posted above and since i know this happens only when the gui is open, this is anything but a biggy for me.

Thanks again Jeffos

Fixed in r506 .

In fact I noticed also docks "onlined" floating FX. This is what does the "fix" too.

NOTE: you'll need to set "BuggyPlugsSupport=1" in the S&M.ini file, it's delivered disbaled (issue only seen with shortcircuit + the fix could slow down things a little bit).

thanks Veto! Yeah.. I thought about you and your great doc when coding the cycle action editor.. It's good to wait a bit when a brand new feature arrives :)
I'll take care of the update ("at some point").

hey jeffos no prob,
i like it when tools improve and documenting about new features is always a pleasure. Though you're right about about the waiting thing.
