Premiere 22.5, 22.6.2 — Export Tab doesn't update export path after API call.

My free extension Compass changes export path based on project path (and other settings as well)
I'm doing this by modifying app property, like this:

 

app.properties.setProperty('MZ.Prefs.Export.Media.Path', newPath, 1,1);

 

When user opens Export tab or Quick export menu the path is correct.

This works in Premiere Pro 2020-2022.

 

Recent updates (22.5, 22.6.2) seem to break a part of it. When I click Export tab, I still see the old path there, but if I click Quick export new path will be shown and this will force Export tab to update as well, so new path will be shown.

This happens both on macOS (intel or silicon) and Windows.

Nice find!
I can reproduce the behavior. We're tracking it as DVAPR-4240210, "Export mode does not respect MZ.Prefs.Export.Media.Path pref, until/unless the user chooses Quick Export mode first".

We'll keep you informed of our progress; your email is in the bug.

I would really like to see this bug fixed. Compass is an excellent extension and it no longer works because of this bug.
