yes but did not worked..

by pbm is extension name did not changed in indesign after update..

after update, the extension name must changed to next version

ex: UpdateUI to UpdateUI(1.1)

during update function, i have replaced old manifest.xml with new one.. i have changed extension name in new manifest.xml

but extension name does not changed in cep panel and also in extensions menuitem..

i have reopened the indesign application.. but did not worked

is there any cache folder within the indesign application?

Any changes you make to the manifest will not apply until restart.

There is a cache that can effect panels.

C:\Users\YOU_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version YOUR_VERSION_NUMBER\YOUR_LANGUAGE\Caches\InDesign SavedData

You can delete it if you want to reset it.

You should be able to set the title dynamically using csInterface.setWindowTitle('fred');  or window.__adobe_cep__.invokeSync("setWindowTitle", 'fred'); but it's not working on InDesign (BUG) at least on Windows.

It did work in InDesign 2015 CEP 6.0.1 but by InDesign 2017 CEP 7 it broke. Oh well!

If the issue is really important you can either write the panel on an app were it works like Illustrator or file a bug report and hope it's fixed before CEP is chucked.

    Did you try

    <Parameter>--disable-application-cache</Parameter>

    within your <CEFCommandLine> section?
