Hi folks,

I've been searching the forum and not found anything on this. So I'm doing this post to ask if someone knows about a trick to get a quick access command for Save Project? Ideally I'd like to press either a computer key or a MIDI button assigned to Save Project. This is to be done live on stage between songs, so looking at he screen and mouse around menus is not an option. Simply rendering loops as files before resetting for the next song.

The first place I looked was of course in Mobius new Plugin Parameters window. But it seems the file menu is not available there. And as far as I know the file menu commands are not scriptable? I hope I'm wrong here and they are, but just not documented...?

Next idea was to record an Apple Script that does all that from one command (since I'm on a Macbook). I opened the Apple Script Editor, pressed "record" and did the stuff in Mobius ("File / Save Project") but nothing got recorded the Apple Script Editor.

Sorry for the delay...

There is an old built-in script function for this but I haven't used it
in awhile. Try:

!name Save Project
Save <path>

Where <path> is replaced by /Users/Per/Documents/MyProject
or something like that.

What I'm not sure about is if the project already exists how
cleanly it will clean up the old files. It should write new
loop files and a new project file but it may leave some of the
old loop files behind unused.
