 Hi there!
Is there a way to catch a file load before it gets executed, so I can check the file path?

I know there is MSG_DOCUMENTINFO_TYPE_BEFOREMERGE. Is there something like that for simply opening a file? (Like there is SAVE_BEFORE and SAVE_AFTER)

Cheers

	Hi, first of all, this forum is going into read-only mode soon. We have started a new Plugin Café forum. So I suggest to go over there, register and continue the discussion in a new thread. Unfortunately it is not possible to get a message before a file gets loaded. These MSG_DOCUMENTINFO messages are received by SceneHooks (SceneHookData). A SceneHook itself is part of a scene or document. Before a file is loaded, there is no document and thus nobody, who could receive such a message.
	Cheers, Andreas SDK Support Engineer

	Hm ok. That's a shame. Thanks though.
