How to verify if an audio suite plugin is already open?

2019-10-01 20:12:32.840Z

Hi! I'm working on a script that opens the RX7 connect plugin, but I want to make an if statement that skips opening the plugin if it's already open. How do I verify if the window is not open?
would it be:
(sf.ui.proTools.getFloatingWindowWithTitleStartingWith("Audio Suite: RX 7 Connect") == null)
?

Thanks!
Dustin

Found it by creepin' on other plugins!

var panel = sf.ui.proTools.getFloatingWindowWithTitleStartingWith("Audio Suite: RX 7 Connect");
if (panel.exists) throw 'RX7 Connect is already open';

  You can also do this:
  
  var asWin = sf.ui.proTools.getAudioSuiteWindow("RX 7 Connect"); if (!asWin.exists) { asWin = sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteOpenPlugin({ category: "Noise Reduction", name: "RX 7 Connect", }).window; } //Now you can use asWin as expected... asWin.audioSuiteSelectPreset({ presetMenuPath: ['.....'] }); asWin.audioSuiteSetOptions({ processingInputMode: 'ClipByClip', processingOutputMode: 'CreateIndividualFiles', }); asWin.audioSuiteRender();

  Ok so interestingly, the above code seems to always return !asWin.exists = true. In my example the last step in opening the plugin is to toggle the target button (to keep the plugin open). When I run the code several times I get several instances of RX7 Connect on top of each other. Maybe I'm doing something wrong though?
  sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow(); var asWin = sf.ui.proTools.getAudioSuiteWindow("Audio Suite: RX 7 Connect"); if (!asWin.exists) { asWin = sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteOpenPlugin({ category: "Noise Reduction", name: "RX 7 Connect", }).window; } //else {} asWin.audioSuiteSetOptions({ processingInputMode: "ClipByClip", processingOutputMode: "CreateIndividualFiles", }); asWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Target button').first.elementClick();
  
  I tried wrapping the text in a code block, hopefully it works? :)

  Thanks @Dustin_Harris, that's my bad. There was a mistake in the first line (I've edited the script now)
  
  The first line should be:
  
  var asWin = sf.ui.proTools.getAudioSuiteWindow("RX 7 Connect");

  I must be doing something wrong, even with the amended command, !asWin.exsists is always true, and new windows always open.
  // make pro tools the active window sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow(); // check if the plugin is already open var asWin = sf.ui.proTools.getFloatingWindowWithTitleStartingWith("RX 7 Connect"); if (!asWin.exists){ // Verify if IF statement is triggered log('If Statement triggered'); //open plugin as var asWin is not existing var asWin = sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteOpenPlugin({ category: 'Noise Reduction', name: "RX 7 Connect" }).window; } //if not, open the plugin and save the plugin window to the "asWin" variable else{} asWin.audioSuiteSetOptions({ processingInputMode: "ClipByClip", processingOutputMode: "CreateIndividualFiles", }); asWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Target button').first.elementClick();
  `
  EDIT
  
  OF COURSE I figured it out 30sec after I hit send on the last message. replace getFloatinWindow... with getAudioSuiteWindow :)

  I can't quite seem to get this working with an Auto Align Post macro. It's working great, but it keeps opening a new instance of AAP every time, when I'd prefer it just check if there's one open first. Did anyone successfully get this working? Here's my current code:
  
  // get window
  var asWin = sf.ui.proTools.getAudioSuiteWindow("Auto-Align Post");
  
  //Open the plugin
  asWin = sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteOpenPlugin({
      category: 'Other',
      name: "Auto-Align Post"
  }).window;
  
  //Set processing options
  asWin.audioSuiteSetOptions({
      processingInputMode: "ClipByClip",
      processingOutputMode: "CreateIndividualFiles"
  });
  
  // // Set Handle length to 4
  // asWin.textFields.whoseTitle.is('Processing Handle Length in Seconds').first.elementClick();
  // sf.keyboard.type({
  // text: "4",
  // });
  // sf.keyboard.press({
  // keys: "return",
  // });
  
  //Select Key Input
  sf.ui.proTools.firstAudioSuiteWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.is('Key Input').first.popupMenuSelect({
  menuPath: ["1 DIA 1"],
  });
  
  ///Analyze
  // asWin.getFirstWithTitle("Analyze").elementClick();
  
  ///Wait till analyze done
  // sf.ui.proTools.waitForNoModals();
  
  //Render
  asWin.audioSuiteRender();
  
  // // Close Window
  // sf.ui.proTools.viewCloseFocusedFloatingWindow();

  here's how I'm doing that same thing... adjust the end of it to suit your needs in terms of key input and processing modes :)
  
  let asWin = sf.ui.proTools.getAudioSuiteWindow('Auto-Align Post'); if (!asWin.exists) { function getCategoryName() { let flatCategories = sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('AudioSuite').children.first.children.allItems; let categories = flatCategories.map(n => n.title.value); let manufacturerView = categories.includes('Sound Radix'); return (manufacturerView) ? 'Sound Radix' : 'Other'; } asWin = sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteOpenPlugin({ category: getCategoryName(), name: "Auto-Align Post" }).window; } while (!asWin.exists) sf.wait({ intervalMs: 50 }); asWin.audioSuiteSetOptions({ processingInputMode: "EntireSelection", processingOutputMode: "CreateContinuousFile", });
