After Effects Enable Panel Network Access Action

The settings path must be adjusted to match the correct After Effects version, taking into account the main and sub-versions as well as the language.

For example:

• For v25.2 (English):

  • {local.ae.preferences.25.2}/Adobe After Effects 25.2 Prefs.txt

• For v25.1 (German):

  • {local.ae.preferences.25.2}/Adobe After Effects 25.1 Einstellungen.txt

The wildcard {local.ae.preferences.?} can be used to obtain the root path for the preferences file.
