Command not found issue for a script that runs from keyboard trigger.
By John T @John_T
Title
Command not found issue for a script that runs from keyboard trigger.
What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?
This script grabs selected audio clips and gathers unique channel names. Then a user prompt to choose where each unique channel gets copied to.
Are you seeing an error?
What happens when you run this script?
No problems running script from a keyboard trigger. I created a button on a surface and get a command not found error. I place a screenshot on the forum..
My usual ProTools surface I added as a button command. It shows up on the editor, but not on my iPhone showing the surface and won't run the script if I press the empty button.
How were you running this script?
I used a keyboard shortcut within the target app
How important is this issue to you?
