Hello,

So I have a project about portable-node-red that using the

It is working correctly I can create nodes and run no problem but I need to change some functions of the node-red core feature especially Import and Export menus.

So I tried to callback on the runtime events like as mentioned in this topic:

But somehow the event is not fired / I am not able to catch it. I use Node Red 2.2.2 inside a NodeJS App. If I use RED.events.on('deploy', (params: RuntimeDeployEvent) =\> this.logger.warn('deploy', params), ); the logger will never be called. Although the flows-event are not triggered / caught. on the other hand RED.events.on('runtime-event', (params: R…

I can get callback like as:

```auto
        RED.events.on('runtime-event', (params) =>
            console.log("RUNTime event!: "+JSON.stringify(params))
        );

```

But ofcourse all they are triggering on the runtime.  
Is there any way to get callbacks of the Import and Export menu to user's defined function?

Have a good coding
