Mixer Strip Configuration and Automatic Coloring

[Holger]

I usually use the same track colours for the same instruments and often have similar names for the tracks and buses. However, I find colouring the tracks quite time-consuming and therefore I have extended the LUA script Trackorganizer a little.

The colouring of tracks, busses, groups and VCAs can now be done automatically based on tags. In addition, the colours and their assignment can be configured. This configuration is saved and is thus available to every session.

You can find more deatils and the downloads here on my codeberg.org page

I have added a EditorHook skript, which applies the coloring rules to added tracks/channels. This way, the correct colours are already assigned when a strip is created.

I added icons with custom text for the two action scripts:

• “msc” in cyan for the strip configuration
  
• “smc” for the settings
  

Additionally 

• I fixed a bug with leading zeros 
  
• colors in the settings dialog now are always displayed with 6 digits
  
• if you copy a html-color string with the leading hash (#12aabb), this is removed automatically
  
• error messages are extended a little bit
