    Could not open popup menu (Reveal Selected Clip in Finder PLUS Video - KASPAR PT: Line 59)
    Popup menu was not found
    Popup window was not found after waiting 2000 ms

    What happens when you run this script?

    Completes most of the script fine but is not right clicking and selecting 'Reveal in Finder' once the clip is attentioned in the clip list.

    How were you running this script?

    I clicked the "Run Script" or "Run Macro" button in SoundFlow

    How important is this issue to you?

      Hi Kaspar,

      It looks like you're running a quite old version of SoundFlow. My first suggestion would be to make sure to update to 5.7.4 here:

      https://my.soundflow.org/

      Note that instead of simulating a right click directly on the row, it would be better to click on the popup menu button for the whole clip list (top right, above clip list).

          Hi Christian,

          Thanks we've updated soundflow now, however, I wouldn't be able to use the popum menu button for the whole clip list as it doesn't have the necessary 'Reveal In Finder' menu Item.

          I thought an alternative way of doing it which I've asked about on the post below but it hasn't had any traction:

            If you're on a new-ish version of Pro Tools, you can do the following to reveal the selected clip in the timeline in Finder:

            
var path = sf.app.proTools.getFileLocation({
    fileFilters: ['SelectedClipsTimeline'],
}).fileLocations[0].path;

if (!sf.file.exists({ path: path, }).exists)
    throw `Couldn't find file`;

sf.system.exec({
    commandLine: `open -R "${path}"`,
});
