Write to selection alert window

    I've been using a little app called 'The Guardian Angel for Pro Tools' for a while now, which prevents the possibility
    of inadvertantly writing automation to the whole session length if you don't have a selection when using write to selection.
    A massive Pro Tools automation flaw in my opinion and something that has lost me loads of work prior to using this app.

    Is that workflow built in to the SoundFlow 'write to selection' command?
    Will it dismiss the pop up window unless you are mistakenly writing to the whole timeline?
    On the Video Christian did with Mike on PTE it seemed to suggest that it did.
    Thanks

    1. Hi @Martin_Pavey.

      Yes we auto-confirm automation warning dialogs when it said you just wrote to the selection, and we leave them open (the warning dialog) if you accidentally wrote to the whole session.
      So it works best if you have warning dialogs set to be shown (and there's no need to use Guardian Angel anymore).
      You then have to use one of the commands that says "+ Confirmation Dialog":
