FR: "SWS: Select previous folder" and "SWS: Select next folder" to be a little smarter

[ScottChesworth]

Hi,

Currently, these two actions only work when a folder track is selected. Would it be possible to modify them so that if a user is on a standard track when they trigger the actions, they land on the nearest folder in either direction?

Example: let's say I have 12 drum tracks contained within a folder called "Drum bus", followed by two bass tracks which aren't folders, and below those, let's say 6 guitar tracks contained within a folder called "Guitar bus".

Currently, to navigate between those two folders using the SWS actions, I have to have one of the existing folders selected first. IE, if my snare track is selected, it's not possible to hit the keystroke I've bound to "SWS: Select next folder" and move to the "Guitar bus" folder.

This change would make folder navigation way more intuitive, and be massively appreciated by a whole bunch of blind users that I'm involved in putting a keymap together for.

Thanks for considering,

Scott

Hi,

modifying existing actions is always a little problematic imo because of the risk of breaking existing workflows.

So I've added two new actions for the next SWS version called "SWS: Select nearest previous folder" and "SWS: Select nearest next folder" which behave the way you're suggesting.

Thanks for the super speedy response! Point taken re modifying existing actions, and many many thanks for adding the two new ones. Looking forward to taking them for a spin whenever the next release drops. :)

Thanks dude. From my initial tests, these behave exactly as I was hoping! I'll post back if the other testers discover anything weird.
