#2200 Lost nested sub-menus for new scripts in add-ons

[Miguel Boyer]

--------My original post in the Open Discussion -------

There are disappearing sub-menus in my add-on.
When I put "/menu_bar/NewMenu" in the property field <menuLocation>, everything is fine. But if i try to put all my macros under "/menu_bar/NewMenu/NewSubMenu", "/menu_bar/NewMenu/NewSubMenu2", etc... then nothing happens when I load the add-on. No "NewMenu" or "NewMenu/NewSubMenu" actually appears in the menu bar at all.
I am puzzled. And it is pretty problematic, because I wanted to organize all my scripts in a menu tree to get them organized and ready available. After all, Freeplane itself is about tree structures. You can't blame users to be longing for that capability when organizing scripts. Am I doing something wrong? Can you offer some advise about this?

-----------Volker hint to solve it------------

Miguel, the problem seems to be ScriptingRegistration.registerScripts():
else {
if (!registeredLocations.contains(location)) {
addSubMenu(menuBuilder, parentLocation(location), location, getMenuTitle(location));
registeredLocations.add(location);
}
titleKey = metaData.getTitleKey(executionMode);
scriptLocation = location + "/" + titleKey;
}
This doesn't work recursively. Would you like to fix it and send me a pull request?
Regards, Volker

---------Volker final statment about this-----------

Ok, please create a new issue in Mantis. I'll see when I find the time to fix it.

Dear Volker:
Did you find any time slot to take care of this for the next release? I wish you could. Anyway, just a reminder. Thank you so much.

[Volker Börchers]

Miguel, thanks for the reminder. I'll do my very best to work on this issue for 1.3.x. The next release (1.4) will probably have a different menu management due to the introduction of ribbons menu. Maybe the fix would work then as well.

Best regards,
Volker

That's so frigging cool...
Thank you so much, Volk !!!
