Hi!
I'm a newbie to script development,
and I mostly write personal scriptUIs instead of using CEP panels.

I was looking for a nice environment to write, test and compile scripts for AE,
that could help me with #includes, formating code, debugging, etc.

That said, i tried using Ovid with AE, and found some hiccups.

To install it, i simply downloaded the latest version from the "archive" folder and placed it contents inside my "extensions" folder.

Maybe that wasn't the ideal way to do it.
I couldn't make the "Save", "Save as" and "Open" buttons work as expected.

Then i tried following the Setup.md, installed bombino through node.js,
but I didn't know much how to proceed and failed to install what i needed properly.

After that, I tried to run some code without saving through Ovid and discovered that if i had multiple windows called as:
new Window("palette")
Ovid would automatically convert the word "palette" to "pavarte". Returning Bad Arguments from AE.

That looked like some workaround exclusive to CEP workflow, but i didn't know for sure.

That's why I came here to ask about it.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this isn't the right place to ask about this.
