How to "Close All Floating Windows", except the automation window and by using the same keycommand, re-open the floating windows

2022-09-29 10:36:14.934Z

Title

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

Hello.

I was wondering if this script can make the windows re-open again, by pushing the same command key? Like a toggle function.

My goal is to close all floating windows, except the automation window, and by pushing the same button, re-open the floating windows.

The closest i can get is to use the key command: "Close All Floating Windows", but it also closes the automation window, but it is very cool, that i can re-open the windows by pushing the same button.

So, is it possible to make all floating windows close, except the automation window and by pushing the same button, re-open the floating windows again?

Kind regards
Thomas

Try this:

This uses a window configuration in the window configurations list in slot 97.
If you want to use a different location then change 97 to whatever value you like in line 19, 14, and 46.

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

if (sf.ui.proTools.floatingWindows.length > 1) {

    // Open "New Configuration" window
    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
        menuPath: ["Window", "Configurations", "New Configuration..."]
    });

    const newConfigWin = sf.ui.proTools.windows.whoseTitle.is("New Window Configuration").first

    newConfigWin.elementWaitFor({ waitType: "Appear" })

    //Save window config to location 97
    newConfigWin.textFields.whoseValue.is("(untitled)").first.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
        value: "Floating Window Save"
    });
    newConfigWin.textFields.first.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
        value: "97",
        useMouseKeyboard: true
    });
    //Set window config checkboxes
    newConfigWin.radioButtons.whoseTitle.is("Window Layout").first.elementClick()
    newConfigWin.checkBoxes.whoseTitle.contains("Include MIDI Lanes").first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: "Disable" })

    //Save and close new window configuration window
    newConfigWin.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first.elementClick();
    newConfigWin.elementWaitFor({ waitType: "Disappear" })

    // Check for conf dialog - confirm and dismiss if it appears
    sf.ui.proTools.confirmationDialog.elementWaitFor({
        timeout: 300,
        pollingInterval: 20,
        onError: "Continue"
    })
    if (sf.ui.proTools.confirmationDialog.exists) {
        sf.ui.proTools.confirmationDialog.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first.elementClick()
    };

    //Close all floating windows
    sf.ui.proTools.viewCloseFloatingWindows()

} else {
    //If only the automation window is showing, recall window configuration
    sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
        menuPath: ["Window", "Configurations", "97"],
        looseMatch: true
    });
};

// Ensure automation window is visible
sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
    menuPath: ["Window", "Automation"],
    targetValue: "Enable"
})
