Python Hooks in 2026

I’m on Flame 2026.2.1 on Mac with ShotGrid integration. I’m trying to register a custom getDesktopCustomUIActions hook but it’s not appearing in the right-click menu. I have PythonHooksPath set in init.cfg pointing to my hooks folder. The script loads without errors when called manually. Anyone have a solve for getting Flame to register the hook?

I don’t have specific information to help, but if it were me, I’d compare what I’m trying to do with any of the scripts from the Logik Portal that show up in the menu and check the difference. You could also point your LLM/Front end of choice (Claude, Gemini) to the flame hooks documentation and ask it why your menu item is not showing up.

Quinn! Hello. I’ve actually inquired about the issue with Claude already… I’ve been troubleshooting and the Robot said it may be time to see if humans have the answer! Ha! I’ll try and dig up that hooks documentation

yeah… whenever I’ve been trying to code anything for flame, i start my query/prompt with “ using the documentation here and here (and I copy/paste the url to the flame documentation and python api) write me a script that does x

I got it! The script was using ‘get_desktop_custom_ui_actions’ instead of ‘get_media_panel_custom_ui_actions’

Thanks for chiming in, Quinn! Good to hear from you

Glad to see you’re still involved and advancing. I’ll try and stop by sometime to say HI.
