Daniel Perez @daniel_perezi create clip groups with a script and open the rename dialogue afterwards with a script as i did always. now, after pressing enter pt takes forever to close the rename dialogue after pressing enter. this is only when opening the rename dialogue with a script or macro in soundflow and better touch tool. opening the rename dialogue with the pt own shortcut or with double click works normal. i noticed this strange beahviour only in pt 22.12
Raphael Sepulveda @raphaelsepulveda2023-03-07 19:17:09.532ZHey @daniel_perez, that's an interesting yet frustrating case. I use a clip-renaming script on my daily workflow but luckily haven't experienced this myself on 22.12.
Could you post the script you're using so I can see if it's maybe something with the code? Could you also include a screen recording of it happening? That would help me repro the issue.

i attached a screen recording for you. i use the standard rename command in soundflow for that. doing the same with better touch tool takes forever as well.

Thanks for sending that! I can definitely see it.
What happens if you open the Rename window with the command below? Is it any different?
sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ["Clip", "Rename..."] });- Daniel Perez @daniel_perez
same. i just created a new session out of curiosity and this odd behavior only happens in the session i'm working on. i guess i just have to live with it.
- Daniel Perez @daniel_perez
my bet is, pt changed, due to the new (upcoming) script adk thing. so pt behaves strangely when triggered with a script.

Ok, yeah that's odd but luckily it's only happening in that particular session.
As a workaround, you could make a new session and import the session data from this session and, hopefully, the odd behavior doesn't make it across.
I'd also try restarting PT and/or the computer and see if that clears it.
