how to group events by a script?

Hi all,

I just wrote a script to reconstruct audio events to selected video events that might have been deleted/changed by mistake (something like MediaStudio's unite function). It works pretty well - but I'd like to automatically "group" these newly created audio events with their corresponding video events. Unfortunately I didn't find any API calls that could influence event grouping... am I missing something, is there a way to do it? Or is it actually something to be added to 4.0c? :-)

Thanks in advance, dust

PS: If there's interest in the script, I can post it - but as I said, there's currently no automatical grouping.

You're right, there's no grouping in the scripting API at the moment. There's not enough time to get it in for 4.0c but hopefully we can get it in a later release.

Thanks for the fast reply, I already look forward to the new release(s) :-)

Note that I uploaded the script I originally looked this feature for to Sundance (http://www.sundancemediagroup.com/help/kb/kb_files.asp named "Reconstruct audio parts"). For now I dealt with the grouping problem by automatically selecting the newly created events so the user can manually group them using "G" afterwards.
