        Are you in the Edit or Mix window? Can you tell me what's going wrong when you try to run it?

            The idea is that you make your own presets, each of which can have different settings. When you're looking at the script use the "+ New" menu at the top of the editor and choose new preset, then you can set it however you would like (and make as many as you would like).

            And actually I just checked the code and it should switch you to the Edit window and back if you start in the Mix window.

                hey andrew! of course now that ive posted, it started working :) one thing thats confusing me, when i go to choose a command for a streamdeck button, i search for "commit" and i get 3 listings of identically named commands . whats the difference? i dont seem to be able to copy or move the preset in the editor anywhere else in soundflow hierarchy. theres something im not grasping about this particular feature... appreciate all your help. im here because of you and am blown away at a few modules i have working!

                    Those might be your presets if you don't name them? I'm not really sure. The presets have to stay next to the template script they are presets for, but you can call them from any stream deck or trigger.

                    Glad it's working for you now.

                        ok im getting it now... and seeing how the options are working. im curious, is this a script that is inaccessible to the user? is the script viewable? i cant seem to find a way to look under the hood at what this is doing. is a preset pointing to another module or something?

                            It's closed source

                        one last question - notice the script will only run if there is a plugin instantiated on the exact A-I slot chosen in the preset. if i have a plugin in slot C, and choose to commit up to I, it doesnt work. i have to make it C. i understand the purpose of being able to choose the pickoff point, but is there a way to get this script to behave in a way that it will commit all the inserts, despite where they are? or to include all slots prior to the one chosen in the preset whether theres a plugin or not? perhaps the answer is the need for a separate script that commits the whole track rather than "up to" an insert. im suprised a generic track commit isnt a stock soundflow script! how could i get that going? hope that makes sense! than you again!

                            Those are some good points. It would be relatively easy to add a commit/freeze whole track option to this script. Making it work up to a certain insert slot even if that slot is empty would take more work but I can look into it for the next version of the script.

                                Hi Andrew,

                                I just published version 1.1.3 of the package which will look at earlier slots if the selected one is empty. If you want to commit all slots just choose J.

                                Thanks for the feedback and ideas,
                                Andrew
