Reset Menus in Logic Pro

    Hi team,
    Here is a code that can reset Logic's menu, as sometimes the values in it won't refresh properly.
    Because of the way Logic works and my coding skills 😂, this code works 95% of the time so, not perfect but hope it's useful.

    This is the function: 👇

    function resetMenu(menuItem) {
    sf.ui.logic.invalidate();
    sf.ui.logic.appActivate();

    sf.ui.logic.getMenuItem(menuItem).elementClick();
    sf.keyboard.press({ keys: 'escape' })
};

    And you can call it like this 👇:
    e.g.

    resetMenu('View')

    or

    resetMenu('File')

      This is Cool @Nicolas_Aparicio!

      Untested... but for scenarios where you want to select a menu item and ensure it refreshes, you could use something like this.

      /**
 * Clicks through a sequence of menu items in Logic Pro.
 *
 * @param {Object} params - The parameters object.
 * @param {string[]} params.menuPath - An array representing the hierarchy of menu items to be clicked.
 */
function clickLogicProMenuItem({ menuPath }) {
    menuPath.forEach((_, index) => {
        const pathAtIndex = menuPath.slice(0, index + 1);
        sf.ui.logic.menuClick({
            menuPath: pathAtIndex,
        });
    });
}

function main() {
    sf.ui.logic.appActivate();
    sf.ui.logic.invalidate();

    clickLogicProMenuItem({
        menuPath: ["File", "Movie", "Open Movie…"],
    });
}

main();

      And the clickLogicProMenuItem function can be reused, no matter the length of the menu path. :-)

          Nice, well, that's how you top it up.

          Thanks Kitch.
