Helper Tool, Dynamic Split Config Save/Restore

I was about to post a feature request for this to be implemented when it occurred to me how easy it would be to do using autohotkey, and so I did it. I have also made the FR, but until that happens you can save dynamic split configs for later recall with this executable, or the .ahk script if you have ahk installed (which I recommend for any savvy computer user). Usage Example: I have a set of 6 lecture recordings which I'm mining for soundbytes, and I'm using dynamic split to assist with that. They were all recorded with the same hardware, by the same person, in the same place. I want to come up with the closest to perfect settings for Dynamic split that I can in one recording, and then replicate the same for the other five. I believe the Dynamic Split dialog does in fact display the last used config, but if I wind up using dynamic split for something else, I don't want to lose my current settings. Using this little tool, I can save the settings, and name them after the lecture series, or the default name which is current DD.HH.MM with the file extension of .dsc. The only problem I have with it presently is that it will not overwrite a pre-existing file, so you must manually delete .dsc files that you intend to overwrite before running this, or just use a new filename. This tiny program/script could certainly be done more elegantly but this gets the job done, without error in my testing. Pls. give it a try and let me know.

I tested your latest release and it's cool! Although I said I don't use dynamic split much, now that I can recall settings easily I just might...I've already saved 3 files for different applications, in REAPER/Dynamic Split Files. Cheers! :D

Thanks and happy new year! I think I might have fixed the won't overwrite issue. I'll put up dynsplit-2 as a new version. Minor issues, not bugs: Elementary: the file open dialog initially only shows files with the .dsc extension. If you don't include the .dsc extension when you save a new config, it will not be visible in this window for the "save" or "restore" dialog unless you change the view filter from .dsc to "all files." whereupon you will see every file in the folder. That's the drop-down bar below the file name. Solution: manually type .dsc at the end of a file, or switch the bottom drop-down bar to "all files." Simple: If you use DynSplitSaver to restore a config and Reaper takes too long to respond, perform the restore again. Reaper's dynamic split dialog will not allow new input while it's creating a new preview, and so DynSplitSaver may time out, depending on how long it takes. But the saved config is not lost, and so you may apply it more than once, and it will progress further through the dialog each time. The length of time it takes Reaper to create the new preview depends on how big the item being processed, how fast your computer, stuff like that.
