Can we load the extension on starting of the app(PS/Id/Ai) ?

[RJ9191]

Hi All,

I want to start my extension at staring of the app. As per the documentation, Lifecycle/StartOn/Event in manifest.xml can be used. I have used it like this in my manifest file :

<Lifecycle>

  <StartOn>

      <Event>applicationActivate</Event>

  </StartOn>

  </Lifecycle>

But, I can't see the extension starting automatically.

The starting behaviour for like this: If the app is closed with extension open, the extension will load automatically on next start of the app and if the extension is closed or minimized while closing the app, the extension doesn't start.

Hi,

Same issue here with After Effects :

<Lifecycle>

  <AutoVisible>true</AutoVisible>

  <StartOn>

  <Event>applicationActivate</Event>

  </StartOn>

</Lifecycle>

The extension does not launch at the application launch...

After Effects does not support this feature but the following workflows should work for launching on startup in other PPs:

<Lifecycle>

    <AutoVisible>true</AutoVisible>

      <StartOn>

        <!-- Photoshop dispatches this event on startup -->

        <Event>applicationActivate</Event>

        <!-- Premiere Pro dispatches this event on startup -->

        <Event>com.adobe.csxs.events.ApplicationActivate</Event>

      </StartOn>

</Lifecycle>

Thanks you for your reply.

I hope it's planned for AE... It's could be very useful for create a render farm.
