How to update selfmade Premiere Pro Plugins after change without restarting the app?

[Khepri]

Hello,

i am currently developing my own Premiere Pro Plugin based on the PProPanel example.

Currently i have to lern a lot and try to understand those things step by step. My question ist, if there is a quicker way to update the Panel/Plugin instead of completely restarting Premiere Pro?

greetings

Unfortunately, no. Premiere only 'reads' available presets, LUTs and plugins on startup. Many of us have asked for a "refresh" option but they haven't made one.

Panels and plug-ins are two very different things. 

For plug-ins, Neil is right; there's no way to make PPro re-scan them during a given session.

For panels...

Notice that the PProPanel example has a 'refresh panel' button? If you've made any changes to the panel's JavaScript or ExtendScript code, refreshing the panel will load your changed code, for execution.

Do i understand it correctly? You mean i can update the panel (html and CSS stuff) but i cant update .jsx files in the extensions folder without reloading premiere?
