How can I add new menu to the menuBar

Post by zzwbeyond »

I add a new plugin in CC, but the plugin menu is only under the "plugins" menu. [img]

How can I add the new plugin menu to "Tools" menu or another new menu like the "Tools" menu.

If your plugin has a single action, then its icon should be also added to the default 'Plugins' toolbar.

Otherwise if your plugin has multiple actions (see how qFacets works for instance), then CloudCompare will create a dedicated toolbar.

hi, daniel, I know what you mean, but I want to add my plugin icon to other toolbar, not the "Plugins". Is there any way to add my plugin to "Tools" toolbar or other.

Nope, those are reserved to the main application ;)

Ok, I see. Another question, is it possible to add a keyword shortcut to my own plugin?

I guess you could define a shortcut to the plugin action? You should even be able to set it as 'Application-wide' (just be sure to set a shortcut that's not already used...).
