[Rwp] Especially to Jamie: Selecting the Master Track

[Derek Lane]

I think, especially with the access to the context menus which exist, navigating and selecting the master track should, at the very least, be an option.  It would be a checkbox worded something like: "allow navigation to master track."

I think the track should be the last on the list, just as one would find the master section on most mixers on the right side, past all other controls.

I ask because now we have an SWS action for it.Yes; I didn't know about this action. It works quite nicely, but it selects the master track without unselecting other tracks, which might not be what the user wants in some cases. The code is also ridiculously simple, which is nice. :)


If you
don't, I think that it would be useful if osara provided feedback when
selecting the master track with that SWS action.I could probably get that to speak as well, but because of the reason above, I'd prefer to have another way to move to the master track which acts more like moving between other tracks first.

    Can you some how make actions accept arguments?
  Not possible I'm afraid.


    If so, what if there was some kind of action in Osara that would speak a custom text string? If it is possible, one could make custom action chains and put this action at the end of the chain and enter the string one would like to get spoken. This way any action could provide spoken feedback.

  I don't think that's overly useful because you don't know whether the action succeeded. If it's just always going to speak the message regardless of whether the action succeeded, there's not much point in having the message, since it's always going to say the same thing when you press the action, and since you made the action, you know exactly what you're doing when you activate that action.

  I can probably an add option to always speak the action name at the end of any unknown action, but I personally think this is pointless and I think it should be disabled by default to prevent false confidence in success.
