Select All Basic Folders or Routing folders?

any ideas? @Kitch @Chris_Shaw @samuel_henriques @chrscheuer ??

wow @samuel_henriques, thanks so much.

Once I added

sf.ui.proTools.trackDeselectAll()

after "invalidate" in the main function, they both work great, even if tracks are already selected.

The Show Volume Lane script works just as you wrote it, but sorry if I was unclear, as I'd like Volume to be in the main automation lane (replacing the default "Overview",) not the automation lanes accessed by hitting the little icon. Is this possible?

much thanks

Here are my tweaks so far to the "Make all Basic Folders Micro" script.

I've added:
Store and Restore Selected Tracks
Switch to Edit Window if on Mix Window (and then switch back)
the aforementioned Deselect All Tracks just before Main Function

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();

// Place the following two functions at the top of your script:

// #1
function mainWindowStatus() {
    if (sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Window', 'Mix').isMenuChecked) {
        sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
            menuPath: ["Window", "Edit"],
        });
        return "Mix";
    } else {
        return "Edit";
    }
}

//#2
function returnToStartingMainWIndow(mainWindow) {
    if (mainWindow == "Mix") {
        sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
            menuPath: ["Window", "Mix"],
        });
    }
}

/// Place this line at the top of your script

let startingWindow = mainWindowStatus();

// Store Selected Track
let selectedTracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames;

function getCurrentTrackHeight(h) {

    let originalTrackHeight;

    switch (true) {
        case (h <= 16):
            originalTrackHeight = 'micro';
            break;
        case (h === 23):
            originalTrackHeight = 'mini';
            break;
        case (h >= 43 && h <= 61):
            originalTrackHeight = 'small';
            break;
        case (h >= 79 && h <= 116):
            originalTrackHeight = 'medium';
            break;
        case (h >= 135 && h <= 235):
            originalTrackHeight = 'large';
            break;
        case (h >= 257 && h <= 420):
            originalTrackHeight = 'jumbo';
            break;
        case (h > 440):
            originalTrackHeight = 'extreme';
            break;
    }
    return originalTrackHeight
};


/**
* @param {'micro'|'mini'|'small'|'medium'|'large'|'jumbo'|'extreme'|'fit to window' } size
*/
function setTrackSize(size) {
    const f = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.frame

    if (getCurrentTrackHeight(f.h) != size) {

        const popupMenu = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.popupMenuOpenFromElement({
            relativePosition: { x: f.w - 10, y: 5 },
            isOption: true,
            isShift: true,
        }).popupMenu;

        popupMenu.menuClickPopupMenu({
            menuPath: [size]
        });
    }
}

function selectBasicFolders() {
    const trackHeaders = sf.ui.proTools.visibleTrackHeaders;

    const basicFolders = trackHeaders.filter(h => h.title.value.endsWith("- Basic Folder Track ")).map(h => h.normalizedTrackName);

    const firstBasicFolderTrack = sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: basicFolders[0] }).track

    firstBasicFolderTrack.trackSelect();
    firstBasicFolderTrack.trackScrollToView();

    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: basicFolders });

};


function main() {
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
    sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();

    sf.ui.proTools.trackDeselectAll()

    selectBasicFolders();

    setTrackSize("micro");
};

main();

// Restore Selection
sf.ui.proTools.trackDeselectAll();

sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({
    names: selectedTracks,
    deselectOthers: true,
});

// end your script with this line
returnToStartingMainWIndow(startingWindow);

Realizing, of course, there will be little reason to start this script from the Mix Window, but hey, the capability is there.

So here is my version of the script to make all Routing Folders show Volume on its main Display Lane. Getting all the tracks to change to Volume is super-easy by just using "-" w Command Focus enabled.

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();

// Place the following two functions at the top of your script:

// #1
function mainWindowStatus() {
    if (sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Window', 'Mix').isMenuChecked) {
        sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
            menuPath: ["Window", "Edit"],
        });
        return "Mix";
    } else {
        return "Edit";
    }
}

//#2
function returnToStartingMainWIndow(mainWindow) {
    if (mainWindow == "Mix") {
        sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
            menuPath: ["Window", "Mix"],
        });
    }
}

/// Place this line at the top of your script

let startingWindow = mainWindowStatus();
// Store Selected Track
let selectedTracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames;

/**
* @param {'micro'|'mini'|'small'|'medium'|'large'|'jumbo'|'extreme'|'fit to window' } size
*/
function setTrackSize(size) {
    const f = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.frame


    const popupMenu = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.popupMenuOpenFromElement({
        relativePosition: { x: f.w - 10, y: 5 },
        isOption: true,
        isShift: true,
    }).popupMenu;

    popupMenu.menuClickPopupMenu({
        menuPath: [size]
    });
};

function selectRoutingFolders() {
    const trackHeaders = sf.ui.proTools.visibleTrackHeaders;

    const routingFolders = trackHeaders.filter(h => h.title.value.endsWith("- Routing Folder Track ")).map(h => h.normalizedTrackName);

    const firstBasicFolderTrack = sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: routingFolders[0] }).track

    firstBasicFolderTrack.trackSelect();
    firstBasicFolderTrack.trackScrollToView();

    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: routingFolders });
};


function main() {
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
    sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();

sf.ui.proTools.trackDeselectAll()

    selectRoutingFolders();

    sf.keyboard.press({
        keys: "minus",
    });
}

main()

// Restore Selection
sf.ui.proTools.trackDeselectAll();

sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({
    names: selectedTracks,
    deselectOthers: true,
});

// end your script with this line
returnToStartingMainWIndow(startingWindow);

Thanks again for your help, @samuel_henriques!!! Any ideas about tackling this one:
Show only active automation lanes on a selected track?
