Control Publish command when run from Sheet Sets Manager

I have created a reactor for PLOT and PUBLISH, in which I control some parameters before runing the 2 commands, and runs without problem, letting the app do the job before continue with normal command, but can't control when Publish is run from contextual menu in Sheet Set Manager (selecting from displayed list and with right click and defining Pselecting as shown in image) . It seems command doesn't pass from reactor and set the parameters . Thanks in advance

That's weird.  I don't have a problem doing that.

I do have a plot reactor to try to aim the PDF to its proper folder, but it works only the first few times after which AutoCAD decides to use the previous path anyway.  I am messing with the registry which apparently is ignored after a few PDF plots.

Just a question are you publishing a range of layouts from 1 dwg only ? If yes have Plot range.lsp. I know, what is he talking about we did not use Publish at all and the lisp worked 100% every time to PDF, A3-BW, A3 Colour and A1 plotter. Yes 1 dwg only.

No, I need to plot from a sheet set manager, and before plotting need to control some data in each dwg and layouts defined in the DST file and have been selected. And that's why if the user run publish or Plot from normal command line, there's no problem, it passes from my reactor always, but if I select it from the tab, seems to run the command bypassing it. I don't know what is run when selected as shown in the image I uploaded, because if you run the command again pressing ENTER, it repeats last executed command before publish, plot or whatever selected from the tab, as if it was running not a command but a function. and the selection is passed as arguments, that would be a good thing to know where to get dwg's selection, that I didn't find where can be retrieve

Parameters that must be set before plotting by the user like active layer setup etc.
