update MEMORY LOCATION

2025-02-02 17:47:24.478Z

Title

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

I have a memory location, always #1, to keep track of where I am in the mix (audio post for films). I want a script that updates its location.

So I'm somewhere farther along than where it's stored, I right click on the memloc, and since it's checked to UPDATE POSITION I just need to ENTER.

This script I found does that except ENTER, how do I do that ??

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

it updates the location but I need to hit ENTER on the Memory Location window that pops up, surely it can also do that.

HOWEVER, I found this script because there doesn't seem to be a RIGHT CLICK macro in the MEMORY LOCATIONS Macros in Soundflow (I'm not a programmer so this is akin to gibberish to me :-))

How were you running this script?

I used a Stream Deck button

How important is this issue to you?

Hey @Mix_3_Mix_3, here's an updated version of the script you're working with. This should get you all the way through:

function editMemLoc(number) {
    const editMemoryLocationWindow = sf.ui.proTools.newMemoryLocationDialog;

    const keys = [
        `numpad comma`,
        `numpad ${number}`,
        `numpad enter`,
    ].join(', ');

    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

    sf.keyboard.press({ keys });

    editMemoryLocationWindow.elementWaitFor();
    editMemoryLocationWindow.checkBoxes.whoseTitle.is("Update Position").first
        .checkboxSet({ targetValue: "Enable" });

    editMemoryLocationWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first.elementClick();
    editMemoryLocationWindow.elementWaitFor({ waitType: "Disappear" });
}

editMemLoc(1);

And here's another version that's more transparent:

/** @param {{ number: number }} args */
function updateMarkerPosition({ number }) {
    sf.app.proTools.memoryLocations.invalidate();

    const mainCounterValue = sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.counterDisplay
        .textFields.whoseTitle.is("Main Counter").first.value.value;

    const memoryLocation = sf.app.proTools.memoryLocations.allItems
        .find(memLoc => memLoc.number === 1);

    sf.app.proTools.editMemoryLocation({
        name: memoryLocation.name,
        number: memoryLocation.number,
        startTime: mainCounterValue,
        comments: memoryLocation.comments
    });
}

updateMarkerPosition({ number: 1 });

This one might have unforeseen consequences if the memory location is being used as something other than a marker (e.g. has properties selected in the Edit Memory Location window). Use whichever version performs best in your workflow.
