Select clip from clip list by name?

2021-02-12 09:23:42.591Z

Hi guys :)
So this feels like something that could be done...

let allClips = sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.clipListView.childrenByRole("AXRow").allItems;
let fullClips = allClips.filter(clip => !clip.children.allItems[1].children.first.value.value.includes('-'));

fullClips.forEach(clip => {
    let value = clip.children.allItems[1].children.first.value.value.split('"')[1];
    if (selectedClipFullClipNames.includes(value)) { //array of needed clip names
        log(value); //this returns the clip names I want to click on, is there a way to do that from here??
        clip.elementClick(); //this doesn't work
    };
});


//maybe even something simple like like this? :)
selectedClipFullClipNames.forEach(clipName => {
    selectClipFromClipListByName({ names: [clipName] });
});

Thanks!

Hi Ivan,

I'm not at a PT computer right now, but AFAIK you'll need to choose a specific button child in the row to be able to click it.
The hierarchy is Row -> Cell -> Button. The buttons are the ones that can be clicked AFAIK.

Try this Ivan.
It filters the search list first, and that made it easier for me to select the clip, as I had to use mouseCLickElement in order for the clip to get selected in the main window.

function selectAudioFileInClipList(clipName) {
    const clipsList = sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.clipListView;
    const rows = clipsList.children.whoseRole.is("AXRow").invalidate();

    let clipList = sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.clipListView.children.whoseRole.is("AXRow")

    let selectedClipRows = rows.filter(row => {
        return row.childrenByRole("AXCell").allItems[1].childrenByRole("AXStaticText").first.value.value.match(clipName)
    });
    selectedClipRows[0].childrenByRole("AXCell").allItems[1].childrenByRole("AXStaticText").first.mouseClickElement()
}

function filterForAudioClipNameInListSelectThenDeselect(clipName) {
    sf.keyboard.press({ keys: 'cmd+shift+f' })

    sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Find Clips").first.checkBoxes.whoseTitle.is("By name").first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: "Enable" })
    sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Find Clips").first.textFields.first.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({ value: clipName })
    sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("Find Clips").first.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first.elementClick()

    selectAudioFileInClipList(clipName)
    
    sf.keyboard.press({ keys: 'cmd+shift+d' })
}
