Hello!

 

I am trying to get a shutdown hook added that cleans up things, maybe kills a spawned proess etc,  much like the people discussing here:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/cleaning-up-processes-when-extensionunloaded/td-p/12111532

 

Is ther any prefered way to do this, that is supported across version etc?'

Hopefully our hero @Bruce Bullis  has a perfect suggestion 🙂

Here's PProPanel's onbeforeunload() hook. 🙂

Thank you, I had already found that method but it didn't seen to work as expected, although I could have made some mistake and I'll try it out agian. I was wondering how unloading behaves in conjuction with this?

app.setExtensionPersistent("com.adobe.FFinder", 0); // 0, while testing (to enable rapid reload); 1 for "Never unload me, even when not visible."

My ideal scenario is that we can launch our extension and have stay alive until we either close Premiere or I suppose also when we right click the panel and click "Close panel".

That hook is called when the extension is being unloaded. If you set your extension persistent, I think it'll only get unloaded at app close.
