Inactive and Reactive plugin

    How would one go about Inactivating plugin on insert 1, wait for it to inactivate, and then re-activate it again?

    Why i need this:
    I use EQ3 in preview mode whilst listening sweeping the EQ bands, and this often promps a bug in pro tools, which inables one to move several bands, and so you have to inactivate the plugin, and then reactivate it in order to make it function again / for some reason Avid have choosen not fix the bug, ever..

        Hello @Emil_Woxen,

        try this,

        sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

const insertA = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.groups.whoseTitle.is('Inserts A-E').first.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Insert Assignment A').first

insertA.popupMenuSelect({
    isRightClick: true,
    menuPath: ["Make Inactive"],
    targetValue: "Enable",
});

insertA.popupMenuSelect({
    isRightClick: true,
    menuPath: ["Make Active"],
    targetValue: "Enable",
});

            this one is faster, but could be less stable

            const insertA = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.groups.whoseTitle.is('Inserts A-E').first.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Insert Assignment A').first.mouseClickElement({
    isCommand:true,
    isControl:true,
    clickCount:2
})

                It's perfect! Thank you so much!

                Stupid bug has been hunting me for years, and it seems like they're never gonna fix it..
