Modifying Groups...

[JR Fountain]

I have a request for Modifying Groups.

I'd like to be able to remove all members from a group. Currently you have to have at least one member in a group which means if you are not in the same area of your session when you need to change the group members you have to select the ones you want and then scroll back to the old one to deselect it, ugh. Being able to zero out the members would allow you to modify a group without going into the modify groups dialog box or scrolling around to find the stray member.

I like to use my first group as a flexible "link" group adding and removing members as I need to. I work in film as a sound designer/mixer and in large sessions I find this more useful than trying to setup static groups and turn them on/off. Currently I use the Modify Groups dialog box to accomplish this accurately, but it's too many steps that becomes a real time waste when pre-mixing hundreds of sound effects. At home I have a SoundFlow script that accomplishes this in one button push but unfortunately when the project moves to a larger mix facility SoundFlow is not an option because of internet security.

The other possible solution would be a button that allows you to replace the members of the group with the currently selected tracks. That button exists in the Modify Group dialog box but it'd be so much more efficient to have direct access to it.

Thx for listening!

Having a temp group, where you can add and remove tracks quickly (ala temp linking like S5 and others) is on my radar. I think this would get you want you want.

Hi Jr,

Would you be willing to share that script, here or the SF forum? I could use that!

Cheers!

Hey Lucas,

Ya for sure. It'll modify the first group. See below.

J.R.



//Activate Pro Tools
sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

//Modify Group(s)
sf.keyboard.press({
keys: "ctrl+cmd+g",
});

//Define reference to window
var win = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('Modify Groups').first;

//Click the "Tracks" tab
win.children.whoseTitle.startsWith("Tracks").first .elementClick();

//Wait for the "Replace" button to appear (finalize moving to the Tracks tab)
win.buttons.whoseTitle.startsWith('Replace').first .elementWaitFor();

//Now click that Replace button
win.buttons.whoseTitle.startsWith('Replace').first .elementClick();

//Click OK
win.buttons.whoseTitle.startsWith('OK').first.elem entClick();

//Wait for window to close
win.elementWaitFor({ waitForNoElement: true });

Thanks a lot will try very soon!
