Simpliying the AE SDK

Hey all-- Wanted to share a project I've been working on, mainly in hopes that others end up contributing, as its open source!

Trentonom0r3/AETK: A modern C++ framework designed to revolutionize the way developers create plugins for Adobe After Effects. Aimed at both newcomers and seasoned plugin developers, AETK provides an extensive suite of tools and abstractions that streamline the development process, enabling more focus on creativity and innovation. (github.com)

I have a few sample projects made, including a recreation of the Grabba sample, showing an easier way to go about setting things up! 

#include <AETK/AEGP/AEGP.hpp>

static A_long				S_idle_count = 0L;

class GrabbaCommand : public Command {
	public:
	GrabbaCommand() : Command("Grabba", MenuID::EXPORT) {}
	inline void execute() override;

	inline void updateMenu() override;

};

class Grabba : public Plugin {
	public:
	Grabba(struct SPBasicSuite* pica_basicP,
		AEGP_PluginID aegp_plugin_id,
		AEGP_GlobalRefcon* global_refconV)
		: Plugin(pica_basicP, aegp_plugin_id, global_refconV)
	{
	}

	inline void onInit();

	void onDeath();

	void onIdle();
};

#include "Grabba.h"
#include "windows.h"

AEGP_PluginID myID = 3927L;

void GrabbaCommand::execute() {
	try {
		auto item = ItemSuite().GetActiveItem();
		RenderOptionsPtr& renderOptions = RenderOptionsSuite().newFromItem(item);
		RenderOptionsSuite().setTime(renderOptions, ItemSuite().GetItemCurrentTime(item));
		auto frameReceipt = RenderSuite().renderAndCheckoutFrame(renderOptions);
		auto world = RenderSuite().getReceiptWorld(frameReceipt);
		void* mainhwnd = UtilitySuite().getMainHWND();
		OPENFILENAME ofn;
		char szFile[100];
		ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(ofn));
		ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(ofn);
		ofn.hwndOwner = HWND(mainhwnd);
		ofn.lpstrFile = szFile;
		ofn.lpstrFile[0] = '\0';
		ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile);
		ofn.lpstrFilter = "All\0*.*\0Text\0*.TXT\0";
		ofn.nFilterIndex = 1;
		ofn.lpstrFileTitle = NULL;
		ofn.nMaxFileTitle = 0;
		ofn.lpstrInitialDir = NULL;
		ofn.Flags = OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST;
		GetSaveFileName(&ofn);

		//image->saveImage(ofn.lpstrFile, "png");
		if (ofn.lpstrFile[0] != '\0') {
			auto data = Image::data(world);
			Image::saveImage(ofn.lpstrFile, "png", data);
		}
	}
	catch (const std::exception& e) {
		App::Alert(e.what());
	}
	catch (...) {
		App::Alert("An unknown error occurred.");
		}
}

void GrabbaCommand::updateMenu() {
	auto activeItem = ItemSuite().GetActiveItem();
	if (!activeItem.get()) {
		enableCommand(false);
		return;
	}
	ItemType itemType = ItemSuite().GetItemType(activeItem);
	bool enable = activeItem.get() && (itemType == ItemType::FOOTAGE || itemType == ItemType::COMP);
	enableCommand(enable);
}

void Grabba::onInit() 
{
	addCommand(std::make_unique<GrabbaCommand>());
	registerCommandHook();
	registerUpdateMenuHook();
}

void Grabba::onDeath()
{

}

void Grabba::onIdle()
{
}

DECLARE_ENTRY(Grabba, myID)
