V0.1: Automated versioning with Reaper-native save by Zesseth · Pull Request #21 · Zesseth/RASP

Zesseth · 2026-03-13T15:15:36Z

Summary

Implements one-click project versioning: increments the version folder name and saves using Reaper's native Main_SaveProjectEx(0, path, 2), which copies all media and rewrites internal .rpp references atomically — identical to Save As with "Copy all media into project directory" ticked
Adds archiving UI: move old versions to a configurable local destination, with configurable keep-count and confirmation dialogs
Cross-platform support: Windows, Linux (Debian), macOS

Key technical decision

Previous approach used robocopy/cp to copy media manually, then saved the .rpp with flag 0. This left internal .rpp path references pointing to the original locations, producing a broken version. The fix is Main_SaveProjectEx flag 2 which lets Reaper's engine handle everything atomically.

Test plan

Open a Reaper project with media files
Click "Create New Version" in auto mode — verify new versioned folder is created with all media copied and .rpp opens correctly
Verify .rpp references point to the new folder, not the original
Test on Windows and Linux

…g logic and add confirmation dialogs for archiving and existing versions

Replace manual robocopy/cp approach with reaper.Main_SaveProjectEx(0, path, 2) which saves the .rpp, copies all media, and rewrites internal references atomically — identical to Save As with "Copy all media" ticked. Remove file_operations helpers that existed only for the old manual copy approach: copy_file, count_files_in_dir, get_project_media_files, get_all_project_files, copy_project_files. Also add .claude/ and CLAUDE.md to .gitignore (not for public repo). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview

This PR updates RASP to v0.2 by expanding project versioning options (native vs automated “safe” saving) and introducing initial local archiving support via a new module and GUI section.

Changes:

Add dual versioning modes (Native Save As dialog vs Auto safe versioning via Main_SaveProjectEx) with conflict handling.
Introduce archiving workflow (UI + module) to move older version folders to an archive destination.
Update README and repo hygiene (.gitignore) for the new feature set.

This PR contains both v0.1 and v0.2 features mixed together (see issue #29).

The intended path forward: merge this PR as-is to bring v0.1 features into master (issues #22, #23, #24). Since v0.2 code is already present and partially implemented, merging establishes a working baseline from which a dedicated V0.2_features branch can be created for proper v0.2 development, testing, and release.

…p Windows - file_operations: remove execute_with_exitcode and all Windows-specific shell commands (robocopy, rmdir). Archiving now uses cp/rm directly via os.execute — Linux/macOS only. Remove broken count_files_in_dir reference from copy_directory. - versioning: replace alongside (_a/_b) conflict option with "increment version number" (finds next available version). Fix success message to report actual created folder name instead of bare version suffix. - archiving: remove unused escaped_prefix variable. Fix create_directory check to use dir_exists() after creation instead of trusting return value. - README: update console output examples to match actual log messages, update conflict handling table, note Windows not supported.

Addressed Copilot review comments (commit a09987e):

Windows support dropped — archiving uses cp/rm shell commands (Linux/macOS only). Versioning via Main_SaveProjectEx remains cross-platform, but since archiving cannot work on Windows without significant extra work, Windows is no longer a supported platform. Noted in README.
Conflict handling replaced — removed the _a/_b alongside suffix scheme. Options are now: increment version number / overwrite / do nothing.
Fixed broken count_files_in_dir reference in copy_directory (function had been removed but call remained).
Fixed create_directory false positive in archiving — now verifies with dir_exists() after creation.
Removed unused escaped_prefix variable in archiving.
README console output updated to match actual log messages.

Windows is explicitly not planned due to shell command dependencies. macOS was never tested and shouldn't be listed as supported. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Keep .claude/ personal directory gitignored. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Main_SaveProjectEx flag 2 did not copy media files on Linux. New approach: 1. cp -r copies all project files (media, peaks, etc.) to new folder 2. Main_SaveProjectEx flag 0 saves .rpp with new name, Reaper rewrites internal references 3. Old .rpp removed from destination folder Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Flag 2 alone did not copy media on Linux. Trying flag 3 = flag 1 (create subdirectory) + flag 2 (copy all media), which may require Reaper to create the directory itself. Removed manual cp-r and directory creation. If flag 3 also fails, fallback is cp-r + flag 0 + .rpp path patching. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview

Updates RASP toward the v0.2 roadmap by adding a safer automated versioning path (with conflict handling) and introducing local archiving (UI + logic), plus documentation and configuration updates.

Changes:

Add dual versioning modes (Native Save As vs Auto “safe” save/copy via Main_SaveProjectEx) with console logging and folder-conflict handling.
Add local archiving workflow: GUI controls for archive destination / “versions to keep”, and an archiving module that copies then deletes old version folders.
Update config defaults/UI sizing and expand repository docs (README.md, CLAUDE.md, .gitignore).
