Does a track/playlist name already exist within the session

This won't tell you what track the playlist is on but it will tell you if a playlist name exists by checking against existing track names and alt playlists.


There is one caveat: you will get an error if the first track of a track type being checked in the session is hidden. But it shouldn't be that hard to check it and make it visible and hide it again at the end of the script

const playlistNameToCheck = "Audio 10"

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate();

let allPlaylistNames = [];

// Get track names
const tracks = sf.app.proTools.tracks.invalidate().allItems;

const trackNames = tracks.map(track => track.name)

const trackTypes = ["Audio", "Midi", "Instrument"]

trackTypes.forEach(type => {
    
    // Scroll first trackType track into view
    const firstTrackTypeTrack = tracks.filter(t => t.type == type)[0]

    if (firstTrackTypeTrack) {
        sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: [firstTrackTypeTrack.name] })

        sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackScrollToView()

        // Define track playlist popup
        const playlistPopup = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.popupButtons.allItems[1]

        // Open delete unused playlist window
        playlistPopup.popupMenuSelect({ menuPath: ["Delete Unused..."] })

        const deletePlaylistWin = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Delete Unused Playlists").first;

        deletePlaylistWin.elementWaitFor()

        // Get alt playlists from delete unused window
        const listOfPlaylists = deletePlaylistWin.children.whoseTitle.is("List of playlists").first.children.whoseRole.is("AXRow").allItems;
        const playlistCells = listOfPlaylists.map(row => row.children.whoseRole.is("AXCell").first);
        const playlistNames = playlistCells.map(cell => cell.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").first.value.value)

        // Dismiss Delete Playlists window
        deletePlaylistWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Cancel").first.elementClick();

        deletePlaylistWin.elementWaitFor({ waitForNoElement: true })

        //Combine all playlists 
        allPlaylistNames = [...allPlaylistNames, ...playlistNames]
    }
})

const playlistAndTrackNames = [...allPlaylistNames, ...trackNames]

//log(playlistAndTrackNames)

// Check if playlistNameToCheck exists
let doesPlaylistNameExist = playlistAndTrackNames.includes(playlistNameToCheck)
