Re: Script: Removing Parameters from Action Sources?

[Nick <nick.petit(at)gmail.com>]

I know it's not quite the same as removing them but you could disable the parameters influence in the clip source?

Yep:

  //Creates new action source from input source, excluding a defined
parameter list
  function ooRecreateSource(oSource, aBadParams){
    //Create new action source
    var oModel = oSource.Model;
    var + "_temp");
    //Test all source items with bad parameters list
    var eSourceItems = new Enumerator(oSource.SourceItems);
    while(!eSourceItems.atEnd()){
      var oFound = false;
      for(var i=0; i<aBadParams.length ; i++){
        if(eSourceItems.item().Target == aBadParams[i]){
          oFound = true;
        }
      }
      //Copy current source item to new source if not present in bad
parameter list
      if(!oFound){
        oNewSource.AddSourceItem(eSourceItems.item().Target,
eSourceItems.item().Source);
      }
      eSourceItems.moveNext();
    }
    return oNewSource;
  }

However, recreating a whole mixer this way is anything but fun, my last
week's script is something like a 400 lines, and it still misses out
things I don't need to copy for our current production scenario...

Cheers!
