Scroll into View at top of arrangement window.

Title

What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

I've got a small script that I want to use to navigate my sessions: Select a folder, open it when it's not open, and scroll it into view at the top of the arrangement window.

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

Almost everything happens the way I like it, but I can't get the track to be located at the top of my arrangement window. Sometimes the folder track is all the way at the bottom and I can't see the tracks inside it.

I found a few slightly similar forum threads, but they all had to do with mapping to a controller and not with getting the tracks at the top of the arrangement window.

How were you running this script?

I used a Stream Deck button

How important is this issue to you?

This should do it - It uses the PT "Scroll to Track" to bring the selected folder to the top of the edit window. Just change the name of the constant at the top of the script to open other folders:

const folderName = "ƒ Drums"

/**
* @param {string[] | string} trackName
*/
function csScrollToTrack(trackName) {
    var confirmationDialogWin = sf.ui.proTools.confirmationDialog;
    var scrollTrack = (typeof trackName == "object") ? trackName[0] : trackName;
    try {
        sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ['Track', 'Scroll to Track...'] });
        confirmationDialogWin.elementWaitFor({ timeout: 100 });
    } catch (err) {
        sf.keyboard.press({ keys: "n", repetitions: 2 });
        sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ['Track', 'Scroll to Track...'] });
        confirmationDialogWin.elementWaitFor({}, `Could not find Scroll to track Dialog`);
    }
    confirmationDialogWin.textFields.first.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
        value: scrollTrack,
        useMouseKeyboard: true
    });

    confirmationDialogWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is('OK').first.elementClick();

    confirmationDialogWin.elementWaitFor({ waitType: 'Disappear' });
};


// Activate Pro Tools
sf.ui.proTools.appActivate();
sf.ui.proTools.invalidate()

// Open folder 
sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: folderName, makeVisible: true }).track.folderTrackSetOpen({ targetValue: 'Enable', });

// Scroll into view
csScrollToTrack(folderName)
