Solo selected track

Hi Olaf,

SoundFlow unfortunately doesn't have a built-in trigger that reacts to track selections.
I don't know the full workflow you're looking for, but you could consider instead making a macro that both selects the track and soloes it.

Hello @olafnoise,

There is a workaround for what I think you are asking.
But its not the greatest idea, as it envolves a "run forever" script.

This looks stable if you don't need to run other scripts while this one is running.
If you need, thy'll probably run, but will stop this one.
And you'll need a script to stop it. I use a command to stop all commands but you can figure out if there is a readable state in pro tools, for when you want it to stop, check this thread:
How to control/pause/stop a specific runForever script.

The following script works if you have Solo Mode X-OR (Cancels Previous Solo) enabled:

and will keep checking every 100ms if the selected track has solo on, if it doesn't it will press solo.
Hope it hepls.

//How often to check in milliseconds
var pollingIntervalMs = 100;

//sf.engine.runInBackground means: Run in background so other commands may run while we're running
sf.engine.runInBackground(function () {

    //while(true) is an endless loop
    while (true) {

        //Check if anyone requested us to cancel all running commands every time we enter the loop
        //The action will take care of aborting this command if necessary
        sf.engine.checkForCancellation();

        const soloState = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Solo').first.invalidate().value.value;

        if (soloState !== "on")

            sf.keyboard.press({
                fast: true,
                keys: "shift+s",
            });


        //Done with this iteration of the loop.
        //To not eat up all the CPU, insert a 'wait' here so we wait until next time we want to check
        sf.wait({
            intervalMs: pollingIntervalMs,
            executionMode: 'Background'
        });
    }

});

yep, sorry made a mistake when I pasted the script.

It's fixed now, let me know if it works.

Christian showd me in the past what I think might work for the toggle thing. I'm away from my computer today, I'll try something when I can.

hello @olafnoise,

almost ready with the script.
Did you notice, when you stop the loop, the last selected track is soloed.
Would you like to clear all solos when you stop the loop?
