Is there an equivalent for app.name in PPro JSX?

[Premiopolis]

The JSX SDKs for Photoshop, Illustrator, and Audition all return the respective names of their application via the command

app.name;

Adobe Premiere and After Effects do not.

Premiere's "app" object has the following properties.

version

build

getPProPrefPath

getPProSystemPrefPath

project

anywhere

encoder

userGuid

getAppPrefPath

getAppSystemPrefPath

csxs

metadata

getLookInfo

Several of those could be used to jerry rig the info out PPro, but I was wondering if there was a more definitive and straightforward approach.

Not sure about the ExtendScript side but we used to do the check on the HTML/JS side like this:

var host_env = JSON.parse(window.__adobe_cep__.getHostEnvironment());

var ppro = host_env.appId === "PPRO" || host_env.appName === "PPRO";

var aeft = host_env.appId === "AEFT" || host_env.appName === "AEFT";

I hope this helps.

Perfect!  Works rock solid for all apps.  Thanks Thomas!

For the JS/ExtendScript context there's the BridgeTalk object.
