Copy, Move, Swap Actions Between Two Widgets
planned
ultracello
Description:
The feature request proposes the ability to copy, move, or swap actions between two widgets within Loopy Pro. This would greatly streamline workflow, especially when working with complex setups. Currently, there is no efficient way to transfer actions between widgets without manually recreating them.
Problem:
When setting up multiple widgets, it can be tedious to replicate or transfer actions, especially in scenarios where similar actions need to be applied across multiple widgets. The lack of a copy, move, or swap function leads to redundant manual work.
Proposed Solution:
Introduce a feature to easily copy, move, or swap actions between two widgets. This could be implemented with a "Pin" function that allows the user to mark a widget, then switch to another widget and choose to copy, move, or swap the actions. Additionally, the feature should support replacing existing actions when moving actions from one widget to another.
Benefits:
- Saves time when managing complex action setups.
- Reduces the need for manual copying and configuration of actions.
- Improves workflow efficiency by allowing users to quickly duplicate or transfer action sets.

I’d suggest that this suggestion be broadened to apply to all aggregate action containers: dial step sections, radio buttons, bindings, anywhere where there are series of actions. Long press of a section could have a “copy section” command

Please also allow:
- Possibility to overwrite actions (i.e. when copying actions from widget 1 to widget 2, all optionally previously added actions from widget 2 are replaced)
This would simply help to have a faster workflow: with this function you do not have to delete one by one or all actions on the widget where you want to insert them.

I "think" copying between widgets requires the receiving widget supports that action.
Please allow functionality to copy a switch widget item, with its action to another switch widget. Thanks.

Pin Icons for windows/tabs to allow editing values in two windows/tabs at same time to have a much faster workflow

Sometimes you want to match follow actions to each other in several clips / colors, for example. Which is just one scenario/example. What do you think about keeping multiple windows (both plugins and Loopy Pro internal tabs/windows like Follow Action) permanently open with a pin icon for example? That would be damn helpful when you need to adjust different values but whose UI/parameters are in different windows. I know this is a pretty hard question that probably upends the current system a bit. However, I find that if you can only adjust something in one window at a time, that is quite limiting and slows down the workflow a lot.

Definitely a good idea :)

lol, Hairy Dick 😂, you are right!

I could imagine UI-wise this would work cozy when there would be something like a "Pin this!" button. Once pinned you can open another widget and then doing the copy / move / swap thing you wanna do.

This would save a lot of frustration.
