Does anyone know of a way to force a comp to open its timeline and composition windows/panels?

So far, the closest thing I could find is an undocumented method for comps:
ramPreviewTest(), which forces the comp to open itself in order to do the preview.

But I have no idea what the 3 arguments are (the second seems to be a scale factor for the viewport), and all scripts sit and wait for the ram preview to finish, while the ram preview seems to sit and wait for the script to end before actually rendering any frames. I don't think this is my solution unless there's some magical argument value that makes it do what I want.

But I'm sooooooooo close. Please someone tell me there's a way to make the timeline and composition window open. Pretty please.

Thanks

Hey Rich,

Unfortunately there is no way to do this currently. I believe the Project and Render Queue panels are the only ones you can have open through scripting.. Also beware that the ramPreviewTest() function is unsupported and in my testing is not very reliable.
