Hide disabled tracks within specific custom folders?

Cubase

Hey all.
I’m trying to figure out a PLE preset, but I’m getting stuck and need your help. Essentially, I want to Hide a folder (let’s say Synth Folder), but only hide the disabled tracks within it. So if I press that preset, it won’t actually hide the folder if there are some active tracks, but will only keep those and hide any inactive one.
Any ideas how to implement this? Thanks a lot.

easy-peasy :wink:

Prerequisite: Folder track must be selected. (or the preset can search for it by name etc.) The cool thing is that if all the tracks in the folder are disabled, the folder track itself will be hidden as well.

event target filters

Parent object is Selected
Property is Set > Is Disabled

Thanks Steve. It works, but I’m wondering how would it work if I have subfolder within a main folder? Going back to my “Synth Folder” example, it won’t work unless I select the different subfolders (for example “Omni folder” etc.)

Also, you mention that you can get the preset to search by name, I was trying to achieve that with the Filter Target → Name, and type the exact name of the folder, but it didn’t work unfortunately. Am I missing something? Thanks again Steve.

Looks like it only sees the the first level folder contents.

For finding by name, create a PLE to select by name, and put both into a macro.
