Navigate to Folder (or parent folder) of Protools Session In Save/Open Dialog no longer working

Title

Navigate to Folder (or parent folder) of Protools Session In Save/Open Dialog no longer working

What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

It should navigate to the folder of the Protools session within Save/Open dialog boxes

Are you seeing an error?

06.09.2022 14:43:24.75 [Backend]: !! Command Error: Navigate to Parent Folder of Pro Tools session in Save/Open dialog [user:ckyelpxbm0001hw107kl87zvb:cjm26dmtt0005v0102ssggxhl]: Couldn't locate AxElementArrayIndexedItem (Navigate to Parent Folder of Pro Tools session in Save/Open dialog: Line 17)

<< Command: Navigate to Parent Folder of Pro Tools session in Save/Open dialog [user:ckyelpxbm0001hw107kl87zvb:cjm26dmtt0005v0102ssggxhl]

What happens when you run this script?

It also happens with the Navigate to Parent Folder of Protools Session in Save/Open Dialog commands.

Instead, the error pops up, and I'll see a new dialog box for folder navigation.

This has only started since updating my machine to Mac OS 12.5.1/Protools 2022.7. I have a copy of my previous boot drive (Big Sur/PT 2021), and the commands still work fine there.

How were you running this script?

I used a Stream Deck button

How important is this issue to you?
