Topic: "Link Tracks" Tab selection inconsistent
when using
sideview 'geniusdj:\linked'

to select a sideview tab...

It only fully selects (to allow links to show), when the sideview is OPEN..
if closed, the selecting of the "Linked Tracks" is done, (shows highlighted) but it does not function, showing links.

To test
0) create an additional sideview shortcut by adding .. geniusdj:\linked to option sideviewShortcuts
1) select.... say sampler... in sideview
2) close/collapse sideview
3) run custom button script sideview 'geniusdj:\linked'
4) open sideview .. and see that the loaded track's, "LINKS" do not appear in the selected sideview "Linked Tracks" tab.

one needs to manually click the, already selected "Linked Tracks" tab again for the Links to appear.
(of course one could do that with script also )
show_splitpanel sideview on &  sideview 'geniusdj:\linked'  & wait 200ms & sideview 'geniusdj:\linked'

which works from closed sideview.




----------------

repeating all above steps with step 3's custom button, script replaced with sideview's remixes
sideview remixes

(w Remixes sideview tab set to "Linked Tracks" and pointing to deck (or browsed))

seems to be worse.. as linked tracks NEVER appear (makes no difference if Sideview is open or closed).
One must MANUALLY click away from the selected "Remixes Linked Tracks", say to sidelist and back again for it to function after using the, selection, script:
sideview remixes



and this script does work in this case):
show_splitpanel sideview on & sideview remixes & wait 200ms & sideview sidelist & wait 200ms & sideview remixes



happy to post pics,
hopefully this can be reproduced

UPDATE:

In the first example above:
show_splitpanel sideview on & sideview 'geniusdj:\linked' & wait 200ms & sideview 'geniusdj:\linked'

a better script solution is:
show_splitpanel sideview on & wait 200ms & sideview 'geniusdj:\linked' 




and the second example:
show_splitpanel sideview on & sideview remixes & wait 200ms & sideview sidelist & wait 200ms & sideview remixes

can be better scripted as:
show_splitpanel sideview on & wait 200ms & sideview remixes & sideview sidelist & sideview remixes
