Renaming Tracks with Comments

Renaming Tracks with Comments

What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

I want to be able to rename tracks with the comments field. Here's the scenario:

I'm working on a large session that has lots of weird naming happening probably due to importing a lot of audio files with weird names, but I might need to retain those weird track names in order to use import session data at a later date.

I have a script that will copy the track names to the Comments so that I can rename tracks in a way that makes sense. Now I'm looking to copy those names from the Comments back to the track name. I have a script where I can do this one track at a time, but I want to be able to select multiple tracks and have this work so I can use it on very large sessions.

An even better script would be one that swaps the Comments & Track Names.

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

It works on one selected track. I want it to work on multiple selected tracks.

How were you running this script?

I used a keyboard shortcut within the target app

How important is this issue to you?
