Title
Quantize Macro created for Pro Tools 2022 not working in 2024.
What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?
Apply all relevant quantize values via a Stream Deck button
Are you seeing an error?
22.01.2025 12:55:40.48 [Backend]: !! Command Error: Quantize - 1/4 [user:cksud97an0000rl10ockpw05a:cl1dbswiw000d2b104wvtdv7f]: @Error invoking checkbox.set (Quantize - 1/4: Line 6) CheckBoxAction requires UIElement Couldn't get item #0 as the array's parent node wasn't found - sf.ui.app('com.avid.ProTools').windows.whoseTitle.is('Event Operations').first.checkBoxs (AxElementArrayIndexedItem)
What happens when you run this script?
This script was created for Pro Tools 2022 and now the interface has changed. I've tried reprogramming the script using the "pick" buttons to re-direct the commands to the relevant checkboxes & menus but I keep getting various errors regarding the checkboxes not working.
How were you running this script?
I used a Stream Deck button
How important is this issue to you?

Chris Shaw @Chris_Shaw2025-01-22 23:51:34.100Z2025-01-22 23:57:39.350ZHey @T_Francis,
The event operations window no longer has a title and some of the checkbox names have changed.
I've refactored the script to make it easier to create different versions. Just change the values in thecheckboxSettingsobject andquantizeGridValueat the top of the script.
I noticed you didn't have a setting in your original script for "Note On" so I added that as well:const quantizeGridValue = "1/4 note" const checkBoxSettings = { "Note On": "Enable", "Note Off": "Disable", "Tuplet:": "Disable", "Offset:": "Disable", "Randomize:": "Disable", "Swing:": "Disable", "Include within:": "Disable", "Exclude within:": "Disable", } // Open Event operations window / quantize settings sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ["Event", "Event Operations", "Quantize..."], targetValue: "Enable" }) // Define Quantize "Apply" button const quantizeApplyBtn = sf.ui.proTools.windows.first.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Apply").allItems[4]; // Wait for the quantize "Apply" button to appear quantizeApplyBtn.elementWaitFor({ waitType: "Appear" }) // Since the Event Operations window has no title, refer to it as the first focused window const eventOperationsWindow = sf.ui.proTools.focusedWindow // Set Quantize Grid eventOperationsWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.is("Combined Quantize").first.popupMenuSelect({ menuPath: [quantizeGridValue], }); // Set checkboxes for (const checkBox in checkBoxSettings) { eventOperationsWindow.checkBoxes.whoseTitle.is(checkBox).first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: checkBoxSettings[checkBox], }); } // Apply Quantize settings quantizeApplyBtn.elementClick() // Close Event Operations window sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ["Event", "Event Operations", "Event Operations Window"], }) // Wait for window to close quantizeApplyBtn.elementWaitFor({ waitType: "Disappear" })
