#56 Error when trying to open "Plugins" menu

[Florian Pigorsch]

When I try to open the "Plugins" menu by clicking on the menu item, a Tcl error is displayed on the console:

bad menu entry index "Export..."
    while executing
"$mb entryconfigure [format "%s..." [msgcat::mc "Export"]] -state [expr {[plugins::export_available] ? "normal" : "disabled"}]"
    (procedure "menus::plugins_posting" line 3)
    invoked from within
"menus::plugins_posting .menubar.plugins"
    invoked from within
".#menubar.#menubar#plugins post 1628 281"
    invoked from within
"$menu postcascade active"
    (procedure "tk::MenuButtonDown" line 11)
    invoked from within
"tk::MenuButtonDown .#menubar"
    (command bound to event)
bad menu entry index "Export..."
    while executing
"$mb entryconfigure [format "%s..." [msgcat::mc "Export"]] -state [expr {[plugins::export_available] ? "normal" : "disabled"}]"
    (procedure "menus::plugins_posting" line 3)
    invoked from within
"menus::plugins_posting .menubar.plugins"

"$w postcascade active"
    (procedure "tk::MenuInvoke" line 16)
    invoked from within
"tk::MenuInvoke .#menubar 1"
    (command bound to event)

This is a fresh install on Ubuntu 18.10 using tke-3.5.tgz from sourceforge .

This bug was an oversight on my part. I'll get it fixed soon.

As a workaround, go to the preferences window (Edit / Preferences / Edit User - Global) and to the Advanced panel. In the Development tab, make sure the "Enable development mode" option is selected. The Plugins menu should now be operable.

This bug has been fixed and is available in the new 3.5.2 stable release.
