Hello guys, I hope you are well =). I'm tryng to create my second extension, duplicating the first one. I copied the entire folder, and inside the manifest.xml file, I've changed the following line of code:

 

<Menu> New_name</Menu>

 

However, right now, even if I have 2 folders, My PR recognize just one extension. I suppose I should change some other lines of code in order to make the two extension distinguishable by Premier. Which one should I change?

 

Moreover: My purpose is to use both extensions at the same time: is that possible?

To let PPro differentiate between your extensions, change the Extension ID; you'll then be able to use both of them.

<ExtensionList>
<Extension Id="com.adobe.PProPanel" Version="10.3.0" />
</ExtensionList>

Using 2 of same extensions you can meet a lot of bugs. For example, first extension will use variables of second if they are different and conversely. I met these bugs when debug 2 extensions for different sequence resolutions.
