🚀 go-pugleaf

At first I didn't think so. After Effects runs the startup script before opening the project, and the script doesn't have access to that information.

But I have managed to come up with this:

{
	function check() {
		//if (app.project.file == null) {
		if (app.project.numItems == 0) {
			writeLn("AE was opened with no project");
		} else {
			writeLn("AE was opened with a project");
		}
	}

	app.scheduleTask("check()",1000,repeat=false)	
}

I'm using app.scheduleTask to get the main part of the script to run one second later. This seems to be enough time for a project to start loading if there is one, and the script then runs after the project has loaded.

At first I was checking if the project had a file path (app.project.file == null) but this wasn't catching projects that opened as untitled.aep due to importing an older project version, so I changed it to check if the project was empty (app.project.numItems == 0).
