renaming clips with a loop but having each clip his own name

How many clips are you renaming at once? (And in what program?) do you want to add the day of the week to the end of the name that is already there? :)

Hi @benoit_charbonnier,

This is one way you could do it. :-)

const daysOfTheWeek = [
    'Monday',
    'Tuesday',
    'Wednesday',
    'Thursday',
    'Friday',
    'Saturday',
    'Sunday',
];

function renameClip(index) {
    //Make sure we have no search in Clips list - if we had, Clip Rename won't work (Pro Tools bug)
    sf.keyboard.press({ keys: 'cmd+shift+d' });

    //Open menu Clip => Rename...
    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ['Clip', 'Rename...'] });

    //Wait for 'Name' dialog to come up, assign the dialog to dlg variable
    var dlg = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is('Name').first.elementWaitFor({}, 'Could not find "Name" dialog').element;

    //Find the first text field
    var textField = dlg.groups.whoseTitle.is('Name').first.textFields.first;

    //Set the value of the textField
    textField.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({ value: daysOfTheWeek[index] });

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

    //Wait for the dialog to close
    dlg.elementWaitFor({waitType:"Disappear"});
}

function main() {
    //Make sure Pro Tools main window is active
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

    //Loop through Monday - Sunday from the days of the week array.
    for (let i = 0; i < daysOfTheWeek.length; i++) {

        //Function for renaming the clip
        renameClip([i]);

        //Move to next Clip
        sf.keyboard.press({
            keys: "ctrl+tab",
        });
    }
}

main();

I hope that helps!
