C++ <-> ExtendScript communication is possible, but compiling the ExternalLibrary would require some struggle and IMHO it is not worth it nowadays. ExtendScript should only do ExtendScript things and avoid communication with file system.   C++ <-> CEP. Choosing the right way of passing the data and intercommunication protocol highly depends on what exact feature you are trying to implement and what kind of data to pass. So far, the easiest and most reliable way is to use Websockets and that's what I'm doing inside my tools as well. ... View more

There is no hook/method available so the best you can do is monitor the project name via a timer and apply certain functions depending on the name. Here is a rought example:     // Global variables var previousProjectPath = ""; // Function to check project path and execute functions function checkProjectPath() { var currentProjectPath = app.project.file ? app.project.file.fsName : ""; if (currentProjectPath !== previousProjectPath) { previousProjectPath = currentProjectPath; if (currentProjectPath !== "") { var projectName = app.project.file.name.replace(/\.aep$/, ""); switch (projectName) { case "Project1": executeProject1Functions(); break; case "Project2": executeProject2Functions(); break; // Add more cases for different project names default: alert("Unknown project: " + projectName); } } } } // Function to execute specific functions for Project1 function executeProject1Functions() { // Add your custom functions for Project1 here alert("Project1 functions executed"); } // Function to execute specific functions for Project2 function executeProject2Functions() { // Add your custom functions for Project2 here alert("Project2 functions executed"); } // Start the scheduled task app.scheduleTask("checkProjectPath()", 3000, true);   ...

You don't need to translate all code to TypeScript. There are are options to use JS both in JSX and JS. As for the CEP replaced by UXP, from what I have heard, After Effects should have at least 2 years of CEP support so there are still plenty of time.   I could help you in more detailed manner if you could provide some code.
