webview's Issues

Why need to C4:SetTimer before calling firing URL_CHANGED in OnDriverLateInit?

Why there is a need to wait 3 seconds before calling C4:SendToProxy(5001, "URL_CHANGED", ...)?

function OnDriverLateInit()
	...
	C4:SetTimer(3000, function(timer) 
		C4:SendToProxy(5001, "URL_CHANGED", {url = Properties["URL"]})
		setPresetIcon(Properties["Presets"])
		if (g_AutoRename) then setPresetName(Properties["Presets"]) end
	end)
end

If you remove the wait and call C4:SendToProxy(5001, "URL_CHANGED", ...) directly then somehow the URL for the UI button doesn't get set when the director reboots and the button doesn't work at all. Is there a more elegant way to wait until you can call C4:SendToProxy(5001, "URL_CHANGED", ...) instead of waiting 3 seconds?
