Soundminer Sum To Mono

    I am trying to create a button for soundminer when I hit a button it toggles to Sum to Mono and then export to PT then go back to Soundminer and UNtoggle the Sum to Mono button. The quick command for this is 'm' when in soundminer, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.

    I am very new to Soundflow so any suggestions are welcome. Feel free to speak to me like I am a child. Thanks!

        I figured out what I needed for my purposes. My big need was making sure that Sum To Mono in Soundminer was toggled OFF after I used it so my default setting for Spotting to DAW is stereo. I always forget to untoggle it and it is frustrating when spotting and a mono file pops up in your stereo track. I created a macro that will toggle the sum to mono button, spot to DAW, return to soundminer, toggle off the sum to mono, and return to pro tools. What I have done is listed below - hopefully it helps someone!
