Is tripple click working flawlessly for you?

hmmI forgot about that, yes it didn't work, that's why I put a key code 0 after (cmd + a - > select all)
As it was resolved I never thought why it didn't work.

but let me try again. just to confirm it 100%

And thanks for the video, a great demo.

Error confirmed, the TC (triple click) didn't work. but that trick putting a click after worked flawlessly, I used first the select all command (cmd + a ).

my cliClick("tc:" & xPosition + (xSize div 2) & "," & yPosition + (ySize div 2) & " c:" & xPosition + (xSize div 2) & "," & yPosition + (ySize div 2))

Thanks :)

Alright, its propably a bug then.

I'd use this,

my cliClick("dc:" & xPosition + (xSize div 2) & "," & yPosition + (ySize div 2) & " c:" & xPosition + (xSize div 2) & "," & yPosition + (ySize div 2))

a double click followed by a single click, just in case the bug gets fixed one day. ;-)

Just a heads up:

Pro Tools 12.5 caused some of my scripts to break. Updates will be up in a couple of days.

It seems that they have changed the window from Save Copy In.. to the same name
Before 12.5

window "Save Session Copy"

version 12.5

window "Save Copy In..."

And it seems that delay with cliclick app as gone

Yep.

Not gone really but much better as with 12.4. However the delays are not caused by cliclick, I am not even using cliclick for those scripts that interact with the "Save Copy In..." window.

Pro Tools Automation Scripts Vol. 1 - Update 2


What’s new in Update 2 (03/2016)

• All scripts are now compatible with OS X 10.11 El Capitan
• Support for Pro Tools 12.5 has been added
• Support for Default Folder X version 5 has been added
• The Save Session Copy scripts were enhanced so that the prefix "Copy of "
  will be removed from the session copy name, a feature that previously only existed in personal versions of the scripts

Fixes

• Added two checks to the Process & Close AudioSuite launcher scripts:
  
  The first one closes another AudioSuite window if there is one left open.
  This was necessary because those scripts hang if the user lets another AudioSuite window open prior to invoking one of these scripts.
  
  The second one determines if audio is selected. This check is handled by Pro Tools itself but the Process & Close scripts open the AudioSuite
  plug-in and attempt to process nevertheless. Thus those scripts needed their own check.

Download Pro Tools Automation Scripts Vol. 1 - Update 2


Make sure to delete the older scripts from Vol. 1 - Update 1 prior to installing this Vol. 1 - Update 2 package or use the following Uninstall app or Uninstall script:

Uninstall app: Download Uninstall Pro Tools Automation Scripts Vol. 1 - Update 1 app

Uninstall script: Download Uninstall Pro Tools Automation Scripts Vol. 1 - Update 1 script

Nice one, thank you Oliver.

ps: great the "Copy of" prefix was removed :) Nice

[Oliver M]

Glad you like the changes Marco.

To all:
I forgot to mention that you need to delete older script files prior to installing these updates. I am working on an uninstall script but I didn't want to hold back the release of this update only because the uninstall script is not ready yet. ;-)

[Oliver M]

I added the download link for the uninstall app & script for Vol. 1 - Update 1 to the post above (#117).
It uninstalls the Pro Tools Automation Scripts Vol. 1 - Update 1 package and moves the files to the trash.
