A pop up window interrupts a macro

A pop up window interrupts a macro

System Information

SoundFlow 5.1.5

OS: darwin 21.5.0

ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 12.4
BuildVersion: 21F79

Steps to Reproduce

I have a small macro to batch process some regions in protools. There are three "PROCESS AUDIOSUITE PLUGINS" in succession. They all have "ClipbyClip" as their inputMode. The first has "Create Individual Files" as the outputMode, while the second and third have "Overwrite File" as the output mode (just so I don't have files I don't need in my Audio Files folder). Obviously when I launch the macro at the second operation a pop-up appears telling me "You CANNOT undo a destructive change .... bla bla bla" .. I can't find a way to automate the click on "Continue" and continue with the Macro .. Kitch tried to help me but we haven't found a solution yet.

Expected Result

Actual Result

a pop-up appears telling me "You can NOT undo a destructive edit .... bla bla bla"

Workaround

//Calling command "AudioSuite (control)" from package "undefined" (installed from user/pkg/version "8Lk9YFZW3EbJKb7iO7F1FvsCcus2/ck8kanx4d000l7910huzgn7ff/ckuqr8oj40002eb10qany35ie")

Hi @Davide_Docente,

I provided a solution in my last posts (Post 7) on the previous thread... Did that new solution not work for you? here is a link to the post;

A pop up window interrupts a macro #post-7
Hi @Davide_Docente, This will do the trick. function dismissDialog(dialogText, buttonName) { const dlg = sf.ui.proTools.confirmationDialog; //Wait 100ms for dialog box to appear dlg.elementWaitFor({ timeout: 100, poll...
Let me know.

Hi Kitch

@Davide_Docente Are you sure that you are using this new script?

function dismissDialog(dialogText, buttonName) {
    const dlg = sf.ui.proTools.confirmationDialog;
    
    //Wait 100ms for dialog box to appear
    dlg.elementWaitFor({
        timeout: 100,
        pollingInterval: 10,
        onError: 'Continue'
    });

    if (dlg.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").whoseValue.startsWith(dialogText).first.exists) {
        dlg.buttons.whoseTitle.is(buttonName).first.elementClick();

        dlg.elementWaitFor({
            waitType: 'Disappear',
            timeout: 100,
            pollingInterval: 10,
            onError: 'Continue'
        });
    }
}

function audioSuiteProcessDestructive(props) {
    const { pluginCategory, pluginName, processingInputMode, processingOutputMode, presetMenuPath, } = props;

    const asWin = sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteOpenPlugin({
        category: pluginCategory,
        name: pluginName,
    }).window

    asWin.audioSuiteSetOptions({
        processingInputMode: processingInputMode,
        processingOutputMode: processingOutputMode,
    });

    asWin.audioSuiteSelectPreset({
        presetMenuPath: presetMenuPath
    });

    asWin.renderButton.elementClick();

    dismissDialog("You can NOT undo a destructive edit.", "Continue");

    sf.ui.proTools.waitForNoModals();
}

function main() {
    //Activate Pro Tools main window
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

    //EQ
    sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteProcess({
        pluginCategory: "EQ",
        pluginName: "EQ3 7-Band",
        processingInputMode: "ClipByClip",
        processingOutputMode: "CreateIndividualFiles",
        presetMenuPath: ["EQ3_FULLIMPACT_CROWD"],
    });

    //MV2
    sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteProcess({
        pluginCategory: "Dynamics",
        pluginName: "MV2",
        processingInputMode: "ClipByClip",
        processingOutputMode: "OverwriteFiles",
        presetMenuPath: ["MV2_FULL IMPACT_CROWD"],
        pollingInterval: 195,
    });

    //Inflator
    sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteProcess({
        pluginCategory: "Harmonic",
        pluginName: "Scheps Omni Channel",
        processingInputMode: "ClipByClip",
        processingOutputMode: "OverwriteFiles",
        presetMenuPath: ["SCHEPS_FULL_IMPACT_CROWD"],
    });
}

main();

If this still does not work let me know and I'll look into it further. :-)
