Hello,
Please, add an option "Bypass All for Track" to bypass all FX for all Events from the current Track instead of only current Event.
Same, an option "Bypass All for Selected Events".
* Of course, i say "bypass all" but includes "enable all" and "delete all".
Thanks to consider.
Oops not quite! I missed the for Selected Events.
You can already ""Bypass All for Track" by right-clicking on the Track FX button and selecting "Bypass All". This is per track though, not for selected events.
Or have I misunderstood your request?
Cheers

No. I want to be able to Bypass All individuals FX (the FX icon on an event) assigned for each events, and each selected events.
For example, if an event is set with a red filter, an other event with a green filter, and a third event with a blue fliter, i want to be able to bypass the filter of the 3 events, by one option. By one click.

Thanks, however this option doesn't limit bypass to a specific track. This option beside the track FX icon would be perfect.
This option beside the track FX icon would be perfect.
But that's exactly what I suggested, above
And I told you that the effects of tracks and the effects of events are totally separate. Track effects do not affect the effects of events and vice versa. If you have effects on events but no track effects, track effects doesn't exist, and so track FX menu stays grayed.
In green EVENT FX, in red TRACK FX
As you can see, each event with FX but no track FX.
I want a button to affect all events FX. I hope it's more clear.
A Track FX is a common FX for all events on the track. Event FX concerns this event only. If i want different effects on different events, i can't affect a common track fx. And so, to bypass all events fx i have to click all events one by one... i want a common button "bypass all events fx".
Now I understand what you want. So far only Vegasaur Apply/Remove FX tool does what you want. It is the most complete FX effects manipulation tool in Vegas.

Good to know, thank you. No doubt, vegasaur is a powerful tool, but not really affordable for me. In the current case, a native option would be very enjoyable.
If at all possible, you should get Vegasaur. It's really a great tool. However, since what you want is pretty simple, you can try this. Not a very fancy UI but it should work.
What's still annoying about Vegas is that you get no indication of whether an event Fx is enabled or bypassed (unless I'm missing some setting). That's one advantage of OtterInfoBar in HOS in that it displays the Fx status.
Regardless, here is a link if you want to try it. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xy07xvh9oz9y9su/AABpLylNp68usEJiV6rDxtMTa?dl=0
Let me know if there are problems.
"The only thing, is the modal window; a window that we could keep open to click on the events would be better."
To do that requires recoding as a Custom Command non-modal extension. AFAIK, it cannot be done with a script.
Yeah, that's the one drawback of writing scripts only. Once executed, you cannot return to the Vegas timeline or do anything in Vegas until the script closes.
You can already do that. Just place both the dll and png in your script menu folder. Restart Vegas. You can then use preferences to add that to the top toolbar.
No. You'd have to write a script for each of the 6 possible RB combinations which could be done but doesn't seem very reasonable to me.
In my opinion this problem comes down to workflow. My solution to this problem has always been to avoid using event FXs whenever possible. If I need a different FX on a particular event, I create a new track, drop that event onto the new track and apply that FX at the track level. I understand some don't like to work this way because they prefer to keep everything laid out on a single track. For me, to keep that type of organization of everything being on a single track, that's where the Track grouping becomes a nice organization feature. I group the tracks and minimize the group and just like that, everything is on a single track.
Maybe something to consider. There's always more than one way to skin a cat as they say.
Like you say "whenever possible". Your way is not applicable in every case: For example, if you have 200 photos, each one with a specific effect, you'll do 200 tracks? No thank. If in addition a common effect must be applied? The easiest way; 200 photos with FXs in one track with FX.
