REAPER 4.26 Update

The Version 4.26 update was released August 17 2012 including a long list of small changes and fixes.

Some of the changes that caught my attention were:

Batch converter: automatically create output directories
Video: Added button in render dialog to grab the current video file’s width/height/framerate
ReaEQ: actions to insert these FX will open/close the FX if it is already inserted

Little things that will speed up workflow are always appreciated.
