Documented list of supported events?

[Devin-]

I am trying to figure out if there is an application event I can listen for to be notified for:

• A project file has been opened
• The opened project file was saved
• The opened project file was closed

So I scoured the internet and github looking for all events. Unfortunately they don't appear to be documented. I found a bunch of events and registered them all to see which ones actually worked (code below). So far the only events I have been able to get to work are:

• com.adobe.csxs.events.ExtensionLoaded
• com.adobe.csxs.events.ExtensionUnloaded
• com.adobe.csxs.events.ApplicationActivate

Is there a documented list of events which work on After Effects? Or does anybody know of events which work for the conditions I want? Or maybe a way to listen to all events? Thanks.

// NOTE: Not all of these events are valid events. Many are likely custom app events,
// or events specific to other Adobe apps, etc. They were scraped from the web and github...
