Is there a way to open all the send windows on a selected track?

    I just want to be able to use one shortcut to open all the send windows on the selected track (Something similar to the picture attached). Any help is much appreciated!

      This should do it

      this will open all sends on the first selected track.
      The send windows will appear where your mouse is positioned.
      If you don't like where they are just reposition your mouse and try again.

      One thing to keep in mind: this script toggles the send windows on and off so if a send is already open it will be closed.

      Thanks for asking for this. It's really useful! You can keep selecting tracks and put their sends wherever you want without having to drag them into position.

      // OPEN ALL TRACK SENDS AT MOUSE POSITION
sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();

var selectedTracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames;

// get mouse position - this is where the send windows will be displayed

var mousePosition = sf.mouse.getPosition().position
var outputXPosition = mousePosition.x
var outputYPosition = mousePosition.y

//Try opening and moving aux windows

for (var x = 1; x < 11; x++) {
        try {
                // Open Track Send
                sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackSendToggleShow({
                        sendNumber: x,
                });

                // Turn off target button
                sf.ui.proTools.mainTrackOutputWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Targeted").first.elementClick();

                // Define window variable
                var win = sf.ui.proTools.mainTrackOutputWindow;

                // Move window
                win.windowMove({ position: { x: outputXPosition, y: outputYPosition, } });

                // increase next Output window x position by width of current open output window 
                //  (+1 pixel to prevent overlapping)
                outputXPosition = outputXPosition + win.frame.w + 1

                //         // If there is an error continue to next send
        } catch (err) { };
}
// Re select original selected tracks
sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: selectedTracks });

              Hi Chirs,

              This script has been so helpful. I was wondering if you could use this same principle to open the volume output button on the currently selected tracks where the mouse is positioned.

              Here's a picture to show you what I mean.

              Here is a script that I tried to use for this function. But it doesn't seem to work.

              sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();

var selectedTracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames;

// get mouse position - this is where the send windows will be displayed
var mousePosition = sf.mouse.getPosition().position;
var outputXPosition = mousePosition.x;
var outputYPosition = mousePosition.y;

// Try opening and moving output windows for all track sends
for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
  try {
    // Open send window
    sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackSendToggleShow({ sendNumber: i });

    // Turn off target button
    sf.ui.proTools.mainEditWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Targeted").first.elementClick();

    // Define window variable
    var win = sf.ui.proTools.mainEditWindow;

    // Move window
    win.windowMove({ position: { x: outputXPosition, y: outputYPosition } });

    // Increase next output window X position by width of current open output window (+1 pixel to prevent overlapping)
    outputXPosition += win.frame.w + 1;

  } catch (err) { };
}

// Re-select original selected tracks
sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: selectedTracks });

              Thank you so much in advance!

                Sorry for the late reply.
                Try this:

                // OPEN ALL TRACK OUTPUT WINDOWS AT MOUSE POSITION
sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();

var selectedTracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames;

// get mouse position - this is where the send windows will be displayed
var mousePosition = sf.mouse.getPosition().position
var outputXPosition = mousePosition.x
var outputYPosition = mousePosition.y

//Try opening and moving output windows
selectedTracks.forEach(track => {
    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: [track] })
    try {
        // Open Track Output Window
        sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackOutputToggleShow()

        // Turn off target button
        sf.ui.proTools.mainTrackOutputWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Targeted").first.elementClick();

        // Define window variable
        var win = sf.ui.proTools.mainTrackOutputWindow;

        // Move window
        win.windowMove({ position: { x: outputXPosition, y: outputYPosition, } });

        // increase next Output window x position by width of current open output window 
        //  (+1 pixel to prevent overlapping)
        outputXPosition = outputXPosition + win.frame.w + 1

        //         // If there is an error continue to next output
    } catch (err) { };
})
// Re select original selected tracks
sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: selectedTracks });
