    What happens when you run this script?

    I'm trying to make a script to recall track presets in Pro Tools. I'm aware I can make a macro, but this little process will ultimately be a part of a larger prep script that does a bunch of other things.

    I couldn't figure out how to recall a track preset without making a macro first.

    I right clicked > copied the macro, and pasted this information into Gemini 2.5 to create this script.

    Gemini seems to think sf.ui.proTools is missing certain commands it's supposed to have. I've already deleted and re-installed the ProTools package.

    Do you think this might be the case? If I can recall a track preset via macro successfully, surely I can run one from a script, no?

    I'm new to this, so there's a high chance of user error of course.

    What do yall think??

    Here is the Gemini diagnosis fwiw:
    You have gathered all the necessary information to report this effectively:

    Your Setup: SoundFlow 5.10.3, Pro Tools 2024.10.2, Pro Tools Package v1.1.9, your macOS version.

    The Core Problem: Standard commands and functions from the official Pro Tools package are not available to scripts.

    Specific Examples:
    Inspection of sf.ui.proTools shows only basic UI elements, missing track commands.

    Direct call sf.ui.proTools.trackRecallPreset fails with "Object has no method".
    Calling the pre-built "Recall Track Preset on Selected Track" command via sf.soundflow.runCommand using the ID ckfs5niws0007v110s447k1ac (derived from its _commandKey) fails with "Command ... not found".

    Confirmation: Mention that you have reinstalled the Pro Tools package and that you can manually recall the track presets within Pro Tools itself.

    Only the SoundFlow team can likely diagnose why the package isn't loading correctly for your specific configuration. It might be a bug, a conflict, or an installation quirk they need to address.

    I'm sorry we hit this roadblock, but we've clearly identified it's an environment issue rather than a scripting logic one at this point.

    How were you running this script?

    I clicked the "Run Script" or "Run Macro" button in SoundFlow

    How important is this issue to you?

I'm aware I can make a macro, but this little process will ultimately be a part of a larger prep script that does a bunch of other things.\n\nI couldn't figure out how to recall a track preset without making a macro first. \n\nI right clicked > copied the macro, and pasted this information into Gemini 2.5 to create this script.\n\nGemini seems to think sf.ui.proTools is missing certain commands it's supposed to have. I've already deleted and re-installed the ProTools package.\n\nDo you think this might be the case? If I can recall a track preset via macro successfully, surely I can run one from a script, no?\n\nI'm new to this, so there's a high chance of user error of course.\n\nWhat do yall think??\n\nHere is the Gemini diagnosis fwiw:\nYou have gathered all the necessary information to report this effectively:\n\nYour Setup: SoundFlow 5.10.3, Pro Tools 2024.10.2, Pro Tools Package v1.1.9, your macOS version.\n\nThe Core Problem: Standard commands and functions from the official Pro Tools package are not available to scripts.\n\nSpecific Examples:\nInspection of sf.ui.proTools shows only basic UI elements, missing track commands.\n\nDirect call sf.ui.proTools.trackRecallPreset fails with \"Object has no method\".\nCalling the pre-built \"Recall Track Preset on Selected Track\" command via sf.soundflow.runCommand using the ID ckfs5niws0007v110s447k1ac (derived from its _commandKey) fails with \"Command ... not found\".\n\nConfirmation: Mention that you have reinstalled the Pro Tools package and that you can manually recall the track presets within Pro Tools itself.\n\nOnly the SoundFlow team can likely diagnose why the package isn't loading correctly for your specific configuration. It might be a bug, a conflict, or an installation quirk they need to address.\n\nI'm sorry we hit this roadblock, but we've clearly identified it's an environment issue rather than a scripting logic one at this point.",
