Extensions close right after I open them

[stevem36750090]

Hello I have adobe after effects cc 2018.From Windows->extensions->Adobe color themes

for example which was installed when after effect was installed(it's a default extension) or other ones when I click on them.They open and I can see them for a fraction of second but they close immediately.I just want to keep them open.How can I do that?I tried to make a regedit string under user..->software->adobe->csxs.8 and added "PlayerDebugMode" with value of 1.As suggested a lot of places.And this didn't help.

Seriously?You are one of the biggest companies and I'm getting too many answers for my question!

[Trevor:]

1) Do you have?

<Lifecycle>
    <AutoVisible>true</AutoVisible>
    <StartOn>
        <Event>applicationActivate</Event>
    </StartOn>
</Lifecycle>

2) Have you got your .debug working?

3) Do you really thing that support get better with the size of a company!

Under which file there is that xml code?
Yeah probably it should with great power comes great responsibility.

[Trevor:]

manifest.xml

in the extensions CSXS folder.

That said, looking at your question again it looks like you are talking about a native Adobe extension and not something you have developed yourself, the rules for that could be quite different.

You should not need to set the debug mode for the native extensions.

I would recommend asking the question on the general After Effects forum. After Effects . The the problem was with InDesign I would recommend resetting your preferences would be the first thing to try but I have no clue about AE.

It has:

<Lifecycle>

<AutoVisible>true</AutoVisible>

</Lifecycle>

Even though I changed it to your code it still didn't help.

Yes I know for the default it shouldn't need that but I added an extension the point is that it happens for both default and external extensions.I did write a little program to pin the panel right after I open it (Before it gets terminated and now it's attached)But now it opens in the panel and get destroyed from there .So that's what I tried.
Thank you I did as you said and made a new topic.
