Got it. I was running Pro Tools in German language. I switched to English and now it works :)
Is there a way to use Pro Tools in German with Soundflow?

Happy you found a solution :) For now, SF only works with PT set to English language, unfortunately.

Hey Christian,
okay!
Is there a way to show for example the send 1 automation lane (via Select Track Display) on ALL tracks with just one button?
My go-to solution without Soundflow was: (mac)
In the Edit Window
A) command+click on a send letter (for example: a)
B) That opens the small fader:
C) Now left-click Ctrl+Opt+Command on the fader, to open send automation a on all tracks.
Is it possible to do this in Soundflow?
Same question for panning. Can you show all pan automation lanes? (I normally do this with Ctrl+Opt+Command+click on the word "pan"):

You can learn more about how to build your own UI automation macros here:
- Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2021-10-18 17:30:02.118Z
For simulating a key command + a mouse click you'll need to use the "Mouse Click Relative to UI Element" command.
More about that here:- Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2021-10-18 17:31:47.984Z
Or just use the Select Track Display macro and set For All Selected to Yes
Hey there,
I tried with your tutorial, but I can't get it working.
When I pick the UI Element, it's clicking on the button of a specific Track. But when I open another session, where no track with that name exists, it does not work. Is there a workaround for that?"Select Track Display macro and set For All Selected to Yes", does not do the job either because then I have to select all tracks first (which I don't wanna do).

Oh, I see. Try this:
sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.displaySelectorButton.popupMenuSelect({ menuPath: ['pan'], isOption: true, /* To hold down option so that all tracks are changed */ });Note that you'll need to provide the full menu path - here I'm just supplying the root "pan" menu item for those instances where on a mono track -> stereo bus.
Because of the difference of track widths/layouts this method of using the drop down menu may not work across different track widths.
Hey Christian,
that's great, it works, thank you! :)
Can you also tell me how that works with opening the Sends?I tried this, but it does not work:
sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackDisplaySelect({ displayPath: ["*(snd a)*","level"], isOption: true, /* To hold down option so that all tracks are changed */ useWildcards: true, });EDIT
Sorry, I got it. This works:sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.displaySelectorButton.popupMenuSelect({ menuPath: ["*(snd a)*","level"], isOption: true, /* To hold down option so that all tracks are changed */ useWildcards: true, });Thanks for your fast support, Christian!
