Assistants - Folder - Create Folder From Selected Track

Packs the currently selected tracks into a newly created Folder.


Behavior details

  • Selected tracks do not need to be contiguous — they are automatically gathered together before packing.
  • Selecting a Folder parent track automatically includes all of its child tracks.
  • If the selected tracks are already inside a parent Folder, the new Folder is nested under that same parent rather than ejected to the top level.
  • If a top-level track named mantrika-main exists, the new top-level Folder automatically creates a Send to it and disables its Master Send (a team pre-master routing convention; this step is skipped if the track does not exist).

Automatic side effects

  • Triggers auto-coloring (if you have coloring rules enabled)
  • Refreshes Mirror sync (so Mirror Items on the Folder immediately reflect the change)

The action itself counts as a single Undo step; one Ctrl+Z restores the whole operation.


When to use this vs. other options

This Action only packs by whole-track. If you want to pick individual segments from several tracks and pack them separately while keeping the original tracks intact, use Assistants - Folder - Adaptive - Create Folder.
