Customize menus

Reorder your Pixyz Studio menus as you wish with .menu files.

Set up

  1. Create a menus subfolder at your plugin's root folder, next to plugin.xml.

  2. Create a new file with the .menu extension.

    You can add as many .menu files as you like.

    Icons can be added by adding a .png file to the icons subfolder, see this documentation page.

Syntax

  1. Create a new Sample menu, position it before an existing one:

    <menu name="Sample" before="Scene">
    …
</menu>

    Or edit an existing menu:

    <menu name="Scene">
    …
</menu>

  2. Create a submenu:

    <menu name="Sample" before="Scene">
    <subMenu name="Pixyz">
        …
    </subMenu>
</menu>

  3. Add separators:

    …
<separator/>
…

Function entries

  • Add the main plugin function and change its displayed name:

    <action function="SampleFunction" displayName="Sample Function"/>

  • Add existing functions from other modules:

    <action module="Algo" function="tessellate"/>

  • Hide existing functions:

    <action module="Algo" function="decimateTarget" hidden="true"/>
Note

Function will be hidden in its original menu.
