Timecode Shortcuts

Hi Frank. Sorry I didn't see your respond. I'll check up on this soon.

Yes your preference window looks a bit different, but that's indeed just Cubase vs Nuendo.

Can you try update again?
I think the issue was because your computer didn't manage to open the set timecode at cursor window (could be my computer is doing it faster so I don't experience the issue)
Now it should wait for the window to appear before continuing the script.

Let me know.

That's really odd. If only I had Cubase so I could check if that's were the difference lies.

Anyway, now I've replaced tab with a mouse click. Can you check if that works, if you update the app to 1.1.2 (Btw you shouldn't need to restart SF, but thanks for doing that just to remove that as an option of error).

Very weird that it doesn't work.

Can you try a couple of things and screen record them.
You can do this with QuickTime Player.

1

• open the Project -> Set Timecode at Cursor...
• press tab.

2

• open the Project -> Set Timecode at Cursor...
• click with your mouse where it says Start.

3

• Try to copy this in to an empty script:

var app = sf.ui.cubendo;
app.getMenuItem('Project', 'Set Timecode at Cursor...').elementClick();
app.windows.whoseTitle.is("Set Timecode at Cursor").first.elementWaitFor();
app.windows.whoseTitle.is("Set Timecode at Cursor").first.mouseClickElement({ relativePosition: { x: 130, y: 50 } });

All of these should highlight the timecode field.
You could also run the command while recording the screen but that would only be for me to see "how" it's going wrong. But we should figure out if the things above doesn't work.

I'm not gonna downloading a 10GB Cubase installer from Steinbergs slow servers, for it to stop working in a month, sorry :)
It would be different if we could just run Cubase from the Nuendo license, which would make a lot of sense as it contains all the same features.

Sorry I've been traveling a bit.

Need to get to the bottom of this, cause I would like the feature to work for everyone :)

Still don't get why the tab works differently in Cubase. But I think I've found a method that should work.
I've implimented it in the package already. You can also try it standalone by copying this in to an empty script and tell me if it selects the full timecode:

var app = sf.ui.cubendo;
app.getMenuItem('Project', 'Set Timecode at Cursor...').elementClick();
app.windows.whoseTitle.is("Set Timecode at Cursor").first.elementWaitFor();
app.windows.whoseTitle.is("Set Timecode at Cursor").first.mouseClickElement({ relativePosition: { x: 130, y: 50 }, clickCount: 3 });

In case this doesn't work (either the full package or the small piece of script doesn't select the timecode field) then I would have you to play around by clicking on the "Set Timecode at Cursor" window and figure out what makes it select the current timecode.

The reason why this hasn't been tested was indeed because of the thing with subframes. If I had said it only works when you use Cubendo with subframes it wouldn't have been a problem, but I like both modes being supported.

Let me know your results

Thanks for the feedback and patience.
Was a tuff one to get through :) But it will then work more solid for others moving forward.

Yeah Steinberg isn't always the most responsive unfortunately.
