Is there a way to create a cue for actions/scripts? In one occasion I might want to run a series of scripts in a order, but maybe another time I might want a different order, it's not very practical to compose a script thinking of all the different options I might want. If I could add different scripts to a SF cue and then run it, would be great.
Thank you.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean but did you know that you can launch other scripts you've made with a macro?
Create a new macro, click on "Add Action" and on the menu that appears you can search for all of SF actions but also scripts you've written yourself. You can add those scripts in whatever order you want and easily change them without writing any new code. You can take always take it a step further and convert that macro into a script to add more logic if need be.
I use this to chain different scripts together, sort of like calling functions that are already written somewhere else.
samuel henriques @samuel_henriquesHello Raphael,
Thank you, I do know about this, but didn't occur to me for this, it could be a workaroud.
I was thinking something like, for example, I have a surface button to commit tracks another to rename and another to export. After commit, I might just leave it, but I might want to rename the clips, or rename and export. I was imagining pressing a button to let SF know the next orders will be a cue, then pressing the commit, the rename, and the export, and in the end "run". I could even add a save and close in the end, so I can go for lunch and leave it doing its thing. Just an Idea.
Raphael Sepulveda @raphaelsepulveda2020-11-20 20:42:02.937ZAhh, I understand now. That sounds like a great idea! I don't think there is a built-in way to do this yet, unfortunately, but that could definitely be a useful workflow.

@chrscheuer, does this sound like a good idea? maybe I should move this to the ideas thing.
Thank you so much

Yea please file an idea request for this. It's like a ad-hoc macro.
I can see both cases where it would unnecessarily complicate things or straight up cause issues for users (for example if commands wouldn't support being invoked that way), but it also could be beneficial.
