I/O Preset setting Selection

2020-12-23 00:34:33.473Z

@Kitch Hey man,

How does this code look? Im essentially wanting it to open a preset I/O setting in case mine get overwritten by another session from a different source. This actually happens frequently to me.

I havent added the last step of pushing "OK" because im still testing it and dont want to accidentally commit the I/O settings, haha.

// Activate Pro Tools Window
sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

// Select I/O Window from Menu
sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
    menuPath: ["Setup", "I/O..."],
});

// Select "Bus" Tab
sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('I/O Setup').first.radioButtons.whoseTitle.is('Bus 3 of 6').first.elementClick();

// Import Settings
sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('I/O Setup').first.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Import Settings...').first.elementClick();

sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('I/O Setup').first.elementWaitFor();

// Select desired I/O preset
sf.keyboard.press({
    keys: "slash",
});
sf.keyboard.press({
    keys: "backspace",
});

//Change name of preset here
sf.keyboard.type({
    text: "Temp I_O.pio",
});

sf.keyboard.press({
    keys: "return",
});

//Open preset
sf.keyboard.press({
    keys: "return",
});

sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('').first.elementWaitFor();

// Delete unused buses prompt

sf.ui.proTools.confirmationDialog.buttons.whoseTitle.is('No').first.elementClick();

This should do the job mate!

You got a great start on it!

Here is an update!

Be sure to un-comment the ioWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is('OK').first.elementClick(); line to ok the changes.

And set your preset name in the importBusSettings("Temp I_O.pio"); line.

function importBusSettings(presetName) {
    //Activate Pro Tools Window
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

    //Open I/O Window
    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
        menuPath: ["Setup", "I/O..."],
    });

    const ioWin = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('I/O Setup').first;

    //Select "Bus" Tab
    ioWin.radioButtons.whoseTitle.startsWith('Bus').first.elementClick();

    //Wait for Tab ("Active Busses" text is unique to the bus tab)
    ioWin.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").whoseValue.is('Active Busses:').first.elementWaitFor();

    //Click 'Import Settings...'
    ioWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Import Settings...').first.elementClick();

    const openWin = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('Open').first;

    //Wait for 'Open' window
    openWin.elementWaitFor();

    //Open 'go' sheet
    sf.keyboard.type({ text: '/' });

    //Wait for Open window
    openWin.sheets.first.elementWaitFor();

    //Set preset name
    openWin.sheets.first.comboBoxes.first.value.value = presetName;

    //Click Go
    openWin.sheets.first.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Go').first.elementClick();

    //Click Open
    openWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Open').first.elementClick();

    //Wait for Dialog window
    sf.ui.proTools.confirmationDialog.elementWaitFor();

    //Delete unused buses prompt
    sf.ui.proTools.confirmationDialog.buttons.whoseTitle.is('No').first.elementClick();

    //Click OK
    //ioWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is('OK').first.elementClick();
}

importBusSettings("Temp I_O.pio");
