OnLoad is one of those poorly documented things. The manual obliquely refers to the fact that it might not work in all cases, but they really don't go into details.
What is happening in your script is that when the OnLoad is executing, the variables labels are not always "available" at the time the script executes, so the pads get initialized to blanks.
What I've done to improve my odds is to create an initialize() script at a high level and set that to onLoad with local hardcoded arrays, kind of like this:
Code: Select all
decl labels={'Show current VSTi'}, pad_lbls={'Prev Marker ','Next Marker','Prev Region','Next Region','Prev Track','Next Track','Prev Folder','Next Folder'};
setattribute(Fx.Fx,'labels',labels);
setattribute(Navigation.Navigation,'labels',pad_lbls);
this was defined at the project level, parallel to ColorScheme() and it worked. try moving all the initializations into there and see if that works better.
As an aside, I try to avoid using containers unless there's a very good reason. If you're doing it just for grouping, it adds another level of indirection/reference when you work with objects inside the containers. It's definitely a personal style thing, but since Lemur is limited in the number of characters in a script file and I try to minimize the number of objects it has to deal with to keep performance as good as possible. Again, I don't have any special inside information, so my assumptions may be inaccurate; it's a style thing.
