I'm creating a work around for a bug in the app Finale.
It gets confused when creating a PDF, and swaps the current filename out for the name of a random minimized window in the dock.
The goal is to create a macro that pastes the correct name as the PDF is created.
My Question:
Is there an elegant method to get the file name of the front window?
Right now I'm opening the Save All... menu and copying it from there, butthere must be a cleaner method.
I don't know if this will help but while stepping through playlists in VLC I often want to delete the file that's playing and this is how I get its name:
As I don't have Finale I can't try it out.
I cannot find this action, so as a novice KM wizard, where is it or do I have to ask Dumbledore?
It's a plugin - located here:
I can get this to work with VLC, but alack, not with Finale
Have a look at this discussion - it may help you: https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/t/get-open-files-name/16811 more than I can 
Thanks! that's the one!
I spoke too soon.
None of those scripts are working for me
I expect the cause is the same as the bug I'm trying to work around in the first place!
Well you’re persistent- just like this bug! Maybe it’s time to report it to Finale support if you haven’t already?
Way ahead of you.
