What is the ACTION that selects clicks within a UI

By Mark Mangini @Mark_Mangini

    In Soundminer, the sort functions require clicking on the FIELD headings to change the sort values. I cannot find a UI click function in ACTIONS that achieves this. Can anyone help point me to that ACTION? Thanks.

      Soundminer is finicky; the column names aren’t accessible to SoundFlow (they’re hidden in the Soundminer preference files)... so the only way I can think of doing it is ‘mouse click relative’ and finding the number of pixels from the anchor point of the window (typically top-left corner of the window, but configurable). Hope that helps!

          Thanks but this seems wildly inefficient. Who has time to test every combination of pixel positions before landing on the right one? Surely there is a way to do this without guessing? SoundFlow would benefit from a graphic interface tool that measures pixel positions or uses snapshots (like other macro builders) to take this guesswork out of the equation.

            Hi Mark,

            Yes there is a way to do this without guessing - check Kitch's video here:

              I also addressed this in a separate thread (since this one became a little more generic):
