Hi.

I just found SWS Extension. Great work. Thank you.

Samplitude and reaper opens attached EDL fine, but when I try to open Marker List is chokes. After a while it opens but the times are messed up.

Can it be the large number of markers?

thank you.

Thanks, confirmed the problem. There are two issues:

Problem #1: Reaper doesn't import the markers properly. Check out the RPP file after import, all of the times match what the markerlist displays; after a certain point the times become negative. It's almost certainly an int overflow, INT64 is necessary. You should open a Reaper bug report for that. (Post the link here when you have it, please.)

Problem #2 is my issue, the markerlist is SLOW with that many entries and needs some optimization.

Problem #1 is fixed in Reaper now, from 4.02pre9 changelog:

• Samplitude EDL: support for times greater than 2 billion samples in

Still working on prob #2, it'll take a bit of a rewrite.

Tim about #2, I fixed the same kind of "slow list view" in the resources view (with an heritance, see SNM_FastResourceView which is used when there are more than 500 rows - "static" use at init time atm, though) may be we could share a common dynamic solution in sws_wnd ?

Dali,

OK, you should be good. The markerlist is now much much better, although on my old machine is still marginally slow, ~6s to open the list for the first time, and then ~.5s lag during a refresh (marker or cursor change.) With 13,600+ markers, I hope you understand that updates will take a bit longer than usual! :)

You need: Reaper 4.02
SWS v2.1.0 #5 from https://code.google.com/p/sws-extension/downloads/list Please let me know if this fixes your problem sufficiently! I appreciate the report, "extreme" cases are always interesting to test/fix.

(code in r539 )

Status: Fixed

Sorry for late reply. Very late :) I have tested this update and it's amazing. It runs much smoother than Sequoia. Sequoia has a playback problem when big number of markers. Filter helps, but bad workaround.

Very good !!!!

I do miss one more option though.
Scroll list during playback. :)

So it colors and scrolls the list as play cursors passes the marker.

Thoughts of replacing Sequoia with Reaper comes more and more frequently.

Thank you
