Python Extensions API

Actions, Events, Hooks and Registering Custom Callbacks
It is possible to use Lightfielder to register custom hooks/callbacks in the active DCC host application's active editing/colouring session. This allows you to receive notifications via Apple Messages, SMS, or mobile friendly notification services like "Pushover" when a task is completed, or a Deliver render job queue item is finished.
