Question

app.getCCXUserJSONData() equivalent in ExtendScript/JSX for Audition

Over in ExtendScript for Premiere Pro (along with After Effects, Illustrator, and InDesign) the function JSX function app.getCCXUserJSONData() returns a variety of properties, including some system IDs, app version, time left on subscription, and other interesting and useful bits of data.

The same function, however, does not work in Audition and Photoshop.

Curious if there is a similar command available.

We currently do not expose this sort of data via ExtendScript.

Though we could put it on teh request list.

However, I would be curious what would you use these data for?

We've got a plug-in that behaves differently depending on who logs in.  The main goal of IDing the system is to allow users who've logged in once to not have to do so again -- a cookie would be fine, but when last we tried that didn't work.  The problem we were having is closing the extension and re-opening, even without re-boot of the computer or re-launch of the app, merely closing and opening the extension within the app forced a fresh log-in.

So, if it is just about re/storing a kind of a state then you probably could use the Preferences object. The Preferences object provides you a data space individual for your extension to re/store basic data. The data of the Preferences object is persisted in the Application settings.

Would that help?

I'll ask the appropriate person. Standby.
