Hi,
we have the wonderful script called "Output Window: Follow Selected Track"

Is it possible to have this for Insert Slots?

Thanks

Solved in post #3, click to view

So far I have this, and its working somehow. The PluginWindow is constantly re-opened (blinking :-(
Any Tipps on how to modify?
thx

var lastFocusedTrackName;

function main() {

const firstSelectedTrackHeader = sf.proTools.trackGetFirstSelectedTrackHeader({
onError: "Continue",
}).firstSelectedTrackHeader;

firstSelectedTrackHeader.trackInsertToggleShow({
    insertNumber: 3,
 onError: "Continue",
});

}

function runForever(name, action, interval, timeout) {
var now = (new Date).valueOf();
if (now - globalState[name] < timeout) throw 0; //Exit if we were invoked again inside the timeout

globalState[name] = now;
sf.engine.runInBackground(function () {
    try {
        while (true) {
            sf.engine.checkForCancellation();
            globalState[name] = (new Date).valueOf();

            action();

            sf.wait({ intervalMs: interval, executionMode: 'Background' });
        }
    } finally {
        globalState[name] = null;
    }
});

}

runForever("isFollowFocusedTrackRunning", main, 500, 5000);

After lots of try and error, here is it finally: Track Output Window + Insert Slot Nr3 follows Track Selection.

var lastFocusedTrackName;

function main() {
    try {

        var newName = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames[0];
        if (newName === lastFocusedTrackName || newName === undefined) return;

        lastFocusedTrackName = newName;

        if (sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.outputWindowButton.value.invalidate().value !== 'open')
            sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackOutputToggleShow({ onError: 'Continue' });
            sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackInsertToggleShow({
            insertNumber: 3,
            targetValue: "Enable",
            onError: "Continue",
            });
            
    } catch (err) {
    }
}

function runForever(name, action, interval, timeout) {
    var now = (new Date).valueOf();
    if (now - globalState[name] < timeout) throw 0; //Exit if we were invoked again inside the timeout

    globalState[name] = now;
    sf.engine.runInBackground(function () {
        try {
            while (true) {
                sf.engine.checkForCancellation();
                globalState[name] = (new Date).valueOf();

                action();

                sf.wait({ intervalMs: interval, executionMode: 'Background' });
            }
        } finally {
            globalState[name] = null;
        }
    });
}

runForever("isFollowFocusedTrackRunning", main, 500, 5000)`;`

How are you getting this to work/trigger? I would love to get this working on my rig!!

Hi Dan,

I have a XL Deck full of triggers build around that script.

Follow Insert No. X with or without Pan Window of selected track etc.

Its basically working but sometimes there are hick-ups cause of the loop running in background.

If I forget to post it within the next 4 days give me a reminder ;-)

Cool!! No hurry. I'm just curious. It is a fantastic idea.

Here is the Deck:

The "STOP" button is the "stop all running commands" from the SF main menu.
You need to stop everytime you wanna switch the Insert number to follow.

As I mentioned it has it hick-ups....

Here is the script for "follow Pan/Ins A":

var lastFocusedTrackName;

function main() {
    try {

        var newName = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames[0];
        if (newName === lastFocusedTrackName || newName === undefined) return;

        lastFocusedTrackName = newName;

        if (sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.outputWindowButton.value.invalidate().value !== 'open')
            sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackOutputToggleShow({ onError: 'Continue' });
            sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackInsertToggleShow({
            insertNumber: 1,
            targetValue: "Enable",
            onError: "Continue",
            });
            
    } catch (err) {
    }
}

function runForever(name, action, interval, timeout) {
    var now = (new Date).valueOf();
    if (now - globalState[name] < timeout) throw 0; //Exit if we were invoked again inside the timeout

    globalState[name] = now;
    sf.engine.runInBackground(function () {
        try {
            while (true) {
                sf.engine.checkForCancellation();
                globalState[name] = (new Date).valueOf();

                action();

                sf.wait({ intervalMs: interval, executionMode: 'Background' });
            }
        } finally {
            globalState[name] = null;
        }
    });
}

runForever("isFollowFocusedTrackRunning", main, 500, 5000);

But its the same script allready posted above.......
