Show Only Lanes With Automation Across Multiple Tracks?

Here's a template I saved ages ago from the forums for 'do for each track' pretty sure that will get you there?

function action() {

/// Code to repeat on every selected track goes here.



}


//Get selected tracks
const originalTracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames;

//Do for each track.
sf.ui.proTools.selectedTracks.trackHeaders.slice().map(track => {

    //Select track
    track.trackSelect();

    //Scroll track into View
    track.trackScrollToView();

    action()
});

//Restore previously selected tracks
sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: originalTracks });

It might break because the function is changing the tracks every time? Try and see? I'm not in latest protools so I don't have that command yet, but dang that's cool! I know a lot of people here were trying to figure out how to do that with SF before it was native!

Hmmm here's another version kicking around in my bins, might be a bit cleaner and more adaptable

function doForAllSelectedTracks(action) {
    var originallySelectedTrackNames = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames;

    try {
        sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackHeaders.forEach(track => {
            track.trackSelect();
            action(track);
        });
    }
    finally {
        sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: originallySelectedTrackNames });
    }
}

/**@param {AxPtTrackHeader} track */
function trackFunc(track) {

    //Insert your code here
    log(track.normalizedTrackName);

}

doForAllSelectedTracks(trackFunc);

Hey @Philip_weinrobe,

Try this one out.

You can set options for the command at the top of the script.

Options are 'lanes with automation', 'all automation lanes', 'lanes with automation within selection', or 'hide all automation lanes'

By default, it will work on all selected tracks, but if you set allTracksOrSelectedTracks = 'All Tracks' - then it will try to do it for every track in the session.

Performing on All Tracks is not especially fast, but it works. Grab a snack and let it roll.

// Options are 'lanes with automation', 'all automation lanes', 'lanes with automation within selection', or 'hide all automation lanes'
const automationLanesToShow = 'lanes with automation'

// Options Are 'All Tracks' or 'Selected Tracks'
let allTracksOrSelectedTracks = 'Selected Tracks';

if (!sf.ui.proTools.isRunning) throw `Pro Tools is not running`;

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

const ptVersion = sf.ui.proTools.appVersion.split('.').map(Number).slice(0, 2).reduce((p, c, i) => p + Math.pow(100, 2 - i) * c, 0);

// Test for older versions of PT
// const ptVersion = 230600

if (ptVersion < 240600) {
    alert('This command requires Pro Tools 2024.6+')
    throw 0;
}

function scrollToTrack({ trackName }) {
    let dlg = sf.ui.proTools.confirmationDialog;
    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ["Track", "Scroll to Track..."] })
    dlg.elementWaitFor();
    dlg.textFields.first.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
        value: trackName,
    });
    dlg.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first.elementClick();
}

if (allTracksOrSelectedTracks == 'All Tracks') {
    let isTrackListShown = sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('View', 'Other Displays', 'Track List').isMenuChecked

    if (!isTrackListShown) {
        sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ['View', 'Other Displays', 'Track List'] });

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

        if ((frameHeight - sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.position.y) < 200) {
            scrollToTrack({ trackName: currentTrackName });

        }
