Hold fire

One other thing I thought is, the rest of the actions are all called Glue (Reversible)
so then to change the name to Smart, immediately moves it away in the action list making it not clear its part of the same family.

One of the things I was thinking was maybe something like GR (Quick - Toggle between Glued and Unglued, Only works with one stage of glue) or something

I dunno I think they should all be labelled and prefixed exactly the same and then demarcated after the delimiter

As a long-time Reaper user, I can attest to a personal bugbear of mine, I hate when Scripts are disorderly in the actions window. I like when things are clear, and if there's a function or family that belong together for whatever reason, then that should be very clear in the actions window

I'm also starting to feel that "Glue (Reversible)" is becoming lightly problematic as a name and wonder whether it should be Glue-Reversible instead

good points. something like this?

MB_Glue (Reversible): Glue container item...
MB_Glue (Reversible): Edit container item...
MB_Glue (Reversible): Unglue container item...
MB_Glue (Reversible): Smart glue/unglue container item...

Yeah see, something like that is much more preferable to me, and flows with a harmony of conscience and design

The parentheses really don't scan well do they

Yeah, there's a few other points though

  • Parentheses = real estate for describing specific function of the script
  • Glue-Reversible = (hyphen) bonds it into one entity and removes some ambiguity

Having said that in an ideal world, I wish Reversible wasn't such a long word, as I like to get to the parentheses content sooner rather than later, visually.

In other words I'm still flexible with the name, doesn't have to neccessarily be that. Can be Glue-Rev or whatever, GlueFlex, Glue-History

Re parentheses, exactly.

I like Reversible a lot though. It's the clearest UX
