Follow Action: Leave Page (with Plugin Window Control)
under review
Aaron Meyers
Description:
Introduce a follow action specifically for
leaving
a page, complementing the existing "Select Page A/B" actions.Problem:
Currently, when switching pages that open AUv3 plugin windows, users have no built-in way to automatically close those windows when leaving the page. This requires manual setup of follow actions to close specific AUv3 UIs, which becomes increasingly hard to maintain as more plugins/pages are used.
Proposed Solution:
- Add a follow action type: Leave Page
- Allow this to trigger actions such as "close plugin window(s)"
- Support targeting:
- all plugin windows
- currently open plugin windows
- specific plugin windows
- Allow enabling/disabling this behavior per page via a setting (e.g. “Auto-close plugin windows on page leave”)
Benefits:
- Cleanly manages plugin windows during page navigation
- Prevents UI clutter and overlapping windows
- Simplifies template management with large plugin setups
- Offers per-page flexibility (keep important windows open where needed)

+1 for a follow action "close all/current/
specific
opened plugin windows when leave page". Ideally this also can be a general setting per page you can turn on/off per page individually.Please allow to close
- all
- specific
plugin windows.
In some cases, you must have
specific
plugin(s) windows permanently open when switching pages, but (all) other plugin windows should close.LostInFoundation
Yeah. I already asked for something similar. Even only a “close all” would be helpful
