Question

Any way to execute menu commands?

I'd like to execute the equivalent functionality to some existing menu commands in Bridge from a Bridge script. In particular, I'd like to be able to turn off the favorites panel and the folders panel (View/Favorites Panel) and (View/Folders Panel). Using the published menu identifiers for them, I can tell if they are checked already (e.g. displayed already), but I haven't figured out how to actually call those commands.

In case you are wondering why I'd like to turn thse off, I'm creating a new window/document and displaying a custom browse scheme. When using a custom browse scheme, the folders window shows nothing useful so I'd like to turn it off. Further, since I'm not displaying files and folders, I think it will be less confusing to users if they don't see the folders pane.

Any ideas?

Get something like ScriptListener in place and we can figure out how to do a lot of stuff there's not an explicit API for.

It's on the list. Now to see if it makes the cut.

Bummer. Another one for the feature request list.

I'd actually like full scripting control of the chrome including setting a workspace, setting visibility of panels, access to the filter menu in the toolbar, etc...
