Auto-Color tools for Studio One/Studio Pro (WIP preview)

[Lukas]

I wanted to share a small WIP preview of the current state of the Auto-Color feature that will be included in my upcoming add-on for Studio One / Studio Pro.

A lot of the ideas and workflow decisions were directly inspired by the feedback in the Feature Voting Thread, and I’ve been trying to implement as many of the requested features as possible.

This is how it works in Reaper with the SWS extension:
The moment you name a track (marker or region marker), a certain color and track icon are assigned to that track based on the list you created.

Nice idea. Too bad they didn't show each of the colors in the interface. It makes it hard to tell which colors you have selected for your palette.

I'm hoping Lukas's new implementation will allow us to configure both the colors and the tracks they're applied to. If he also adds the option to select the track icons to use for each color, we'd have a feature set equivalent to ColorToolbar.

Here’s a screenshot of the current state of the Color Rules window:

Current features include:

• Automatic rule-based track coloring
• Assigning track icons
• Multiple search modes (exact, contains, whole word, starts with)
• Inline editing for quickly modifying rules
• Rules that can assign colors + icons together, or independently
• Configurable palettes and rule ordering

Track assignment inside a session can be triggered both manually and automatically, depending on the workflow. I’m also currently experimenting with some additional ideas and automation features on top of this.

There’s still a lot to refine and polish, but the core workflow is already coming together really nicely.

Looking good, Lukas!

Ooh. Me likey.

Do you have sway over getting some more (useable) Track Icons into this program?

Nice one Lukas.

Looking good. Instabuy for me. And yes, more icons please. Or a customization option.
