Command for Bounce Files to the Native Folder on the session

Hi Kitch...
First of all, thanks for the quick help, Im new to sounflow community but already understood that people around here are very respectful and proactive.

Well, the script did not work at first..
Had an issue at line 02 - but after another try it worked.

One thing that I forgot to mention, and I could not find in the script is the Bource Source field. I am able to run the script and the bounced file shows at the folder, but its in silence. Which is probably because the source is not the correct one.

Thanks again for all the help

hey @BTG_Studio,
can you post the exact script you are using? There are few updates thru the thread.

Hi @BTG_Studio & @samuel_henriques,

Not a bother at all :-). In the latest version of Pro Tools, the "Bounce Mix" window has been changed a bit. I've added it to my to do list. I aim to get it sorted over the holidays... Will keep you posted.

Rock on!

Hello guys, hope you enjoy your Holidays as much as possible.

This is working on my system, I tried to keep as much as possible from @Kitch 's script and added a the function maximiseBounceWindow()from another script Kitch and Chris Shaw were working on.

I found a problem that I couldn't fix though, and It's weird and never happened to me before, it only happens if the mix source is not correct. If it is correct (meaning the script doesn't have to change it) there is no problem.

here:

    //Physical Output path
   const outputPath = ["physical output", "Out 23-24 (Stereo)"];

    //Set Output
    if (sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('Bounce Mix').first.popupButtons.allItems[1].value.invalidate().value != outputPath.pop().split(' -> ').pop()) {
        sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('Bounce Mix').first.popupButtons.allItems[1].popupMenuSelect({
            menuPath: outputPath,
            useWildcards: true,
        });
    }

I think something happens to the const outputPath but I couldn't figure out.
If it needs to be changed the script will stop like this, just like the picture. It's weird because it knows the path and navigates there, but doesn't do the last "click".

Otherwise looks good. Maybe @Kitch will clean it a bit more, and make the bits I put my hands on, the proper way. :)
