Search Groups List

@chadwahlbrink Yessir! That's exactly it. I tagged you in a convo with Andrew Scheps about this as well, detailing some of the road blocks we've been having with these "Add to Group" scripts. It may be a factor if you're messing around with it. Check that convo out here:

I'm working on a mix today so I'm just popping in and out until later tonight.

@chadwahlbrink thanks for that script it's great!

@Chris_Shaw has a point, I would be SUPER interested as I'm struggling with this issue for a while now! Would be amazing if you had an idea :)

+1 on this. It's been on my list but I may not get to it for a while.

Ooo. I accept your challenge. I will look into it.

@Chris_Shaw @Thomas_Gloor Here's a pretty straightforward way to remove ALL groups on selected tracks. Also skips empty tracks. I'm working on an undoable version using Track Presets, but the groups are stubborn. Can't seem to get the recalled preset to overwrite the group data.

The real challenge (and my challenge to @chadwahlbrink ) is building a script that removes a SELECTED (searchable) group from selected tracks. I've got it started, but the tricky part is selecting the tracks in the "Currently in Group" table in the "Modify Group" dialog. Haven't figured that part out yet. @raphaelsepulveda helped me out on manipulating the templates table in the Dashboard so maybe he has some insight?

Anyway, here's Wonderwall:

const origTracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTracks.names;

function renameTrack(track, dupTrack) {
    sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();
    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ deselectOthers: true, names: dupTrack });
    sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.titleButton.popupMenuSelect({
        isRightClick: true,
        menuPath: ['Rename...']
    });
    let renameDlg = sf.ui.proTools.windows.first;
    renameDlg.elementWaitFor({ waitType: 'Appear' });
    renameDlg.textFields.first.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({ value: track });
    renameDlg.buttons.whoseTitle.is('OK').first.elementClick();
    let newTrack = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTracks.names;
    let newTrackName = newTrack.join();
    sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();
    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ deselectOthers: true, names: newTrack });
    let playlistSelector = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.popupButtons.allItems[1];
    let playlistSelectorMenuItems = playlistSelector.popupMenuFetchAllItems({ dismissMenu: true }).menuItems;
    let playlistNames = playlistSelectorMenuItems.map(menuItem => {
        if (/ \(\d+\)$/.test(menuItem.path[0])) return menuItem.path[0];
    }).filter(Boolean);
    if (playlistNames.length > 1) {
        for (let i = 0; i < playlistNames.length; i++) {
            let playlistTitle = playlistNames[i];
            let playlistTitleStr = playlistTitle.split(' ').slice(0, -1).join(' ');
            let playlistName = playlistTitle.split('.dup').slice(0, 1).join();
            if (playlistTitleStr !== newTrackName) {
                playlistSelector.popupMenuSelect({ menuPath: [playlistTitle] });
                sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.titleButton.popupMenuSelect({
                    isRightClick: true,
                    menuPath: ['Rename...']
                });
                let renameDlg = sf.ui.proTools.windows.first;
                renameDlg.elementWaitFor({ waitType: 'Appear' });
                renameDlg.textFields.first.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({ value: playlistName });
                renameDlg.buttons.whoseTitle.is('OK').first.elementClick();
            }
        }
        playlistSelector.popupMenuSelect({ menuPath: ['*' + newTrackName + ' (*)'], useWildcards: true });
    }
