Add the option to choose which specific installation of After Effects 'Send to AE' uses.

Hi, hope you’re good 👍🏾

I’d like to request an option to point at a specific After Effects installation for the Export > Send to After Effects command.

Use case is that I have a bunch of different versions installed for older project/plugin compatibility reasons, plus I’m working in the AE Beta for testing most of the time. The current functionality seems to automatically send to the most recent release version, and it would be a big timesaver to be able to specify which version of AE to send to, especially as this command can generate just and GLB file without all the maps as well.

I’d imagine the most straightforward place to put this would be in the config options for Send to AE - there could be a dropdown with all the recognised installations, and a checkbox to enable selecting a version manually.

With all the good work that the AE team are doing with substance and 3D integration right now, having this flexibility would offer quite a big quality of life upgrade.

Cheers!
