you can just open the binary file in a decent text editor. They're not in alphabetical order though, at least in the Win 32 binary, mainly in reverse alphabetical.

ok, just didnt know if there was some sort of identifier to grep for, was just running the binary through strings and | to a parser

The options pulled from the previous page are a little different (or incomplete) here's the current list:

OMG!!!

I was playing with these :

EditorResnapRangeFactor
EditorResnapTimeoutOnMouseUp
EditorDontSnapOnMarkers
EditorSnapOnOtherNotes
EditorSnapTimeout
EditorMagneticWidth

Im assuming they control the new snap behaviour in the midi editor but I haven't noticed any difference yet, probably because I have no idea what values to use.

It would be helpful if someone with more programming experience looked into it.

When looking at it via a Hex editor I replace the 00 bytes between the triggers with the 00 27 hex code for the "em" space i.e. a space. That way when I copy the text I don't have to go 1 by 1 and add a space in between the words. Some of the triggers have 2 00 bytes in between them. I'm starting to wonder if this has some thing to do with the triggers that take the _ after the - in the options.txt file. Or if this is a space for a numerical value.

If someone knows if any of these triggers have a _ or know what they mean please post I'll update the list as I find more stuff.

The nulls will almost certainly be because of data alignment rather than indicating any kind of value placeholder. I wouldn't recommend poking the actual data in the binary.

this is amazing..pls keep updating!

thaks for the big list i think i still have my old on my facebook page somewhere.
still wondering why ableton isnt telling about this something.

was wondering what you add to these like i know you put - first but some ive seen as -_ first and how do you know if they need a value?

Working on it

"-_PluginAutoPopulateThreshold=32"

Currently not working in 9.0.2
my first time trying this specific option...

Hmm. I've hoped for something like "tap tempo doesn't start playback"
Anyone know something about this?
greetz

Can someone do a video showing what a lot of those codes mean/do for the rest of us 'code-noobs' users???
