Selected Track (s) output & Color to the respective routing folder

Try this:

sf.ui.proTools.appActivate();
const app = sf.ui.proTools

function getTrackType(trackName) {
    var trackInfo = sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: trackName }).track;
    var trackTypeValue = trackInfo.title.value
    return trackTypeValue.slice(trackTypeValue.lastIndexOf(" - ") + 3, trackTypeValue.length).trim();
};

// Get selected tracks
var originalSelectedTracks = app.selectedTrackNames;

// Get first visible track
var firstVisibleTrack = app.visibleTrackNames[0]

// Get first track's output
var memberOutput = app.selectedTrack.groups.whoseTitle.is("Audio IO").whoseTitle.is("Audio IO").first.popupButtons.allItems[1].value.invalidate().value


// keep moving up one track until a Folder track is selected
var trackType = " ";
var isTrackFolder = false
while (!isTrackFolder) {
    sf.keyboard.press({
        keys: 'p'
    });
    var currentTrack = app.selectedTrackNames[0];
    trackType = getTrackType(currentTrack);
    if (trackType == "Routing Folder Track") { isTrackFolder = true; var folderName = currentTrack };
    if (currentTrack == firstVisibleTrack) { throw ("You seemed to have selected tracks that are outside of a folder. Try again") };

};

// get Input bus of folder track
var folderInput = app.selectedTrack.groups.whoseTitle.is("Audio IO").first.popupButtons.first.value.invalidate().value;

// Reselect original selected tracks
app.invalidate();
app.trackSelectByName({ names: originalSelectedTracks, deselectOthers: true });

// Assign original track's output to Folder track input
app.selectedTrack.groups.whoseTitle.is("Audio IO").whoseTitle.is("Audio IO").first.popupButtons.allItems[1].popupMenuSelect({
    isShift: true,
    isOption: true,
    menuPath: ["search..."],
});
sf.keyboard.type({
    text: folderInput,
});

sf.keyboard.press({ keys: 'return' });

// select Folder Track and set track Output

app.trackSelectByName({ names: [folderName] })

app.selectedTrack.groups.whoseTitle.is("Audio IO").whoseTitle.is("Audio IO").first.popupButtons.allItems[1].popupMenuSelect({
    isShift: true,
    isOption: true,
    menuPath: ["search..."],
});

sf.keyboard.type({
    text: memberOutput,
});

sf.wait({ intervalMs: 200 })

sf.keyboard.press({ keys: 'return' });

I'd say "assign the output [...] of tracks inside a routing folder to the same [...] correct input of that respective folder" sounds the same to me as "assign the INPUT of the folder track to the audio tracks inside it", meaning the OUTPUT of those audio tracks (which are inside the routing folder) would match the respective routing folder's INPUT. This would then ensure they are routed to that respective routing folder. I know it sounds confusing so no big deal at all (:

Perhaps I'm not wording it the best way, as I can see the one you just made is now Output to Output, which would result in the audio tracks NOT being routed to the routing folder.

No pressure at all if it's weird to make this work, I can always manually assign each routing folder if needed be.

i'm on 5.1.2
gonna update to 5.1.3 to see if it fixes it...will report back

same error on 5.1.3

Hi Chris,

Possible fix for this script here.

Rock on!
