1. CEP: Waaaay more events from AI to CEP Panels (e.g. selection changed)

   In a panel I would like to receive events from the host app - in this case AI.

   Please provide events for
   - selection changed
   - layers added/changed
   - items added (items of any kind)
   - items deleted
   - etc

   Current workarounds: polling (setTimer) for changes...thats far from ideal.

   The current situation is more than sad (not regarding the lack of documentation).

2. CEP: Unique identifier for items and layers

   Please provide unique identifiers for all page items and layers via script.

   Right now it is not possible to save IDs of page items/layers in a variable or array and retrieve them at a later point in the script.

   At first I could not believe it that there are no IDs. This is total basic and should be a no-brainer and default.
   Thanks!

   P.S. Current workaround: set custom tag on items. This works only as long as the user is not duplicating an items. Than you have two items with the same tag and it is not unique anymore.

3. Concerns about the future of CEP and UXP

   I've been reading through the new information about UXP and the announcement that it will be replacing CEP.

   If this happens it will likely mean the end of our current CEP extension, since the support provided in UXP does not cover our use case. To be specific we have problems with the following areas:

   1) Most critical UXP is "not a browser" and as such will only support a subset of HTML. Our extension relies on being able to run another web application within the browser control supplied by CEP, in an iframe window. While there is currently no list of supported HTML, it seems likely that iframe will not be a supported HTML element.

   This will break our CEP extension.

   2) No support for persistent panels. Currently there is only support for Modal Dialogs, which are expect to be invoked and then closed. Our CEP extension relies upon a persistent control, which the user logs into once.

   3) In ability to access the user file system, in particular the Download directory. This will break a few features in our application which rely on being able to read information from this directory.

6. [Feature] Ability to embed HTTPS sites into extension HTML via iFrames

   Currently it is not possible to embed HTTPS sites into extension HTML via iFrames because it results in a mixed-mode security violation. It would be nice to have the CEF used in the extension ignore this error when using extension html installed on the local system.

   I've attached a simple file demoing the problem.

8. weird unicode file names in CEP panel scripts

   Files with unicode names should report correctly in the documentAfterActivate and documentAfterSave events.
   I just noticed that there are not only strange sequences of escaped and unescaped characters, but they can even differt between these two events.
   A € sign produces 0x80 in the activate event and %e2 0x82 %ac in the save event

9. 24.3 causes my extension to crash illustrator

   Hi,

   I've noticed that my extension Khronos Maker have started to crash Illustrator after updating to 24.3. I'm not sure what's causing it and hope to get some help to identify where the problem is.

   In terms of code, what's causing the crash is the sequence of following:

   myDocument.textFrames.add();
   myLayer.position = [coordinates.x, coordinates.y];
   myLayer.contents = graphic;

   app.undo()

   //and then running the code above again after the undo causes a crash
   myDocument.textFrames.add();
   myLayer.position = [coordinates.x, coordinates.y];
   myLayer.contents = graphic;

   This is strange since hitting cntrl + Z (windows) instead of the script, no crash. And in version 24.2.3 everything works fine. Any ideas? Did something change scripting CEP for 24.3?

   I've attached the crash report I get (is user guid safe to share? I left it out just in case)
