Save a session with timecode stamp in name

What could help if the "Copy of .. session" name can be changed. The new alterted name can then be pasted into the text field of the Save Copy In window. What the new name need to be is strip of the "Copy Of [space]" prefix, add TC t the end and add the copied TC from the clipboard.

@Danny_van_Spreuwel, give this a try.

Change the savePath at the end of the script to whatever you'd like, in this example, I'm just putting it in the Downloads folder.

Also, I'm not sure what settings you prefer to have on the Save Copy In window, so I just enabled the Audio Files checkbox. Let me know if you need help customizing that more.

Finally, since ":" are not supported in macOS filenames, you'll notice they'll get replaced with "-" in the timecode part of the filename.

Hopefully, that helps!

Hi Raphael,

I switched to a M1 machine with Monterey. Now our nice macro got stuck on the target path. I think that element has been changed in this new OS. See log output in the image. Do you have Monterey to be able to fix this element?
