Title
ProTools Moving Tracks to Folders Within Folders
What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?
Im trying to modify this macro so that the track moves to my subfolder named "KICK GRP"
The folder "KICK GRP" is already in a folder call "⬇ DRUMS"
I think Soundflow is getting stuck with the fact tht it's a folder within a folder.
I've changed the macro to send the kick track just to the parent folder "⬇ DRUMS" and it works. But can't seem to get it to send the track to the subfolder "KICK GRP".
On the "Move to..." menu path the title of the folder has a "-" added to it...so "-KICK GRP". But it doesnt work if I include the dash or not.
Any insight?
Thanks!
Are you seeing an error?
What happens when you run this script?
The output of the track gets correctly assigned but the "Move to..." folder part of the macro is gutting stuck.
The "Move to..." menu box opens up for a split second but nothing seems to happen
How were you running this script?
I used a keyboard shortcut within the target app
How important is this issue to you?

This macro was made by @Hendrick_Valera. Any chance @yianniap may be filling in the folderMenuPath incorrectly?

Hey @chrscheuer and @yianniap!
Thanks for using this package! I just tested your issue with a nested folder and it worked. All you have to do is add a space before the name of the folder, for example: " -KICK GRP"
Hopefully this works for you too!
