Pro Tools 2025.6 heads up

To follow up. This sepcifically is not working:

sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Pro Tools Ultimate 2025.6").first.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Session Configuration").first.popupButtons.first.popupMenuFetchAllItems({
    dismissMenu: true,
});

SF will open the correct pop up menu. This hold true for 'File Type, Sample Rate, Bit Depth and I/O Settings. SF cannot close the resulting open menu, nor can it choose the correct menu item.

In this example:

sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Pro Tools Ultimate 2025.6").first.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Session Configuration").first.popupButtons.allItems[3].popupMenuSelect({
    menuPath: ["Starz PTU Template - Clean"],
});

I get :
Could not open popup menu
Popup menu was not found
Popup window was not found after waiting 2000 ms

I am on SF v 5.10.2

What do I need to change in order to correctly select menu items in the new create session dashboard?

Hi @Randall_Smith

I'm sorry you are experiencing this.

You've mentioned here in your post that the popupMenuSelect functionality seems broken in Pro Tools 2025.6.

If you are experiencing an issue like this, please log a bug report so we can investigate and troubleshoot the issue further, as our internal testing has not uncovered any change in the stability of the popupMenuSelect method.

To log a Help Issue request, please follow the steps in the following article/video

As you are aware, Avid made some changes to the Dashboard in Pro Tools, so your scripts and macros may need some updating. The fix might be as simple as re-picking the elements that are not being found, as their UI names or index may have changed.

Let me know if you have any specific questions, and I'd be more than happy to take a look.

Thanks in advance.

Use the SDK instead of UI.
sf.app.proTools.createSession()
sf.app.proTools.createSessionFromTemplate()

Hi @Randall_Smith

Here is a workaround for setting the four pop-up menus in the "Session Configuration" section of the Dashboard until an internal fix is implemented.

function main() {
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivate();

    const dashboard = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.startsWith("Pro Tools").first;

    // Invalidate the dashboard to ensure it returns fresh UI Elements
    dashboard.invalidate();

    function selectFromPopupMenu({ popupButton, menuPath }) {
        popupButton.elementClick({ asyncSwallow: true });

        sf.waitFor({
            callback: () => dashboard.invalidate().groups.whoseTitle.is("Drop down popup").first.exists,
            timeout: 1000,
        });

        const popupMenu = dashboard.invalidate().groups.whoseTitle.is("Drop down popup").first;

        const targetMenuItem = popupMenu.children.find(mi => mi.title.invalidate().value.endsWith(menuPath[0]))

        targetMenuItem.popupMenuSelect({
            menuSelector: items => items.filter(mi => mi.path[0].endsWith(menuPath[0])),
            onError: "Continue",
            timeout: 100,
        });

        sf.waitFor({
            callback: () => popupButton.title.invalidate().value === menuPath[0] &&
                !dashboard.invalidate().groups.whoseTitle.is("Drop down popup").first.exists,
            timeout: 1000,
        });
    }

    const sessionConfigurationPanel = dashboard.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Session Configuration").first

    const popupButtons = sessionConfigurationPanel.popupButtons;

    const [fileTypePopupMenu, sampleRatePopup, bitDepthPopup, ioSettingsPopup] = popupButtons.map(pb => pb);

    selectFromPopupMenu({
        popupButton: fileTypePopupMenu,
        menuPath: ["AIFF"],
    });

    selectFromPopupMenu({
        popupButton: sampleRatePopup,
        menuPath: ["44.1 kHz"],
    });

    selectFromPopupMenu({
        popupButton: bitDepthPopup,
        menuPath: ["24-bit"],
    });

    selectFromPopupMenu({
        popupButton: ioSettingsPopup,
        menuPath: ["Last Used"],
    });
}

main();

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks again for bringing this to our attention. :-)

UPDATED. In case you are not having success with the SDK command, I've updated this one to wait for the titles to match before moving on to the next menu.

This issue is now tracked internally by SoundFlow as SF-1991
