[RWP] Jim, your scripts for Reaper

Thu Mar 29 23:11:49 EDT 2012

It was no doubt meant to be quick and easy, and Cockos forum guys have 
been begging for a Sound Forge style media browser for years, it's just 
not for screenreaders.
I'll never let what I can't do trouble me, only concentrate on using 
what I can do.
It's a good incentive for me to finally use a macro program like Auto 
Hot Keys to record my navigation moves in Windows Explorer to where my 
media files are stored, then afterward a macro triggered from a 
shortcut; will run those navigation moves fast as light.
