Description

Using my German locale, I now have two vector menus. The first one only with entries from plugins, and the second one right to the Help menu, with the ex-ftools, now processing functions.

Tested on Windows standalone: Overriding the locale with US English, the second menu remains in German. I have installed older standalone versions and OSGEO4W, if that might interfere.

Tested on Ubuntu: Overriding the locale removes the second vector menu, adding all entries to the first.

Tested on Linux Mint: Same as Ubuntu. The first Vector menu has shortcut V, while the second and US locale has shortcut o.

Removing the .qgis2 folder did not help.

#1 Updated by Klas Karlsson about 8 years ago

Tested in Swedish, Finnish, Russian... All have the same issue. The "Vector" menu will be added if the localized menu is spelled differently.

(Tested in 2.16.2)

#2 Updated by Klas Karlsson about 8 years ago

... and for example "Nederlands" that spell it "Vector" has only one vector menu.

Turning off the "Processing" plug-in and restarting QGIS will remove the "non-localized" vector menu.

Activating the Processing Plug-In will also create the "Processing" menu, which is correctly localized...

This leads me to suspect it is the Processing Plug-in that needs to be updated somehow. It doesn't help changing "core/processing/menus.py" (which looks correct anyway) and that ends my "script-fu" knowledge on the subject.

Found a "solution" in #14535

Just open the Python console and type in what is described.

The source of the problem is a fTools update and it is known so I will close this thread. Feel free to re-open it if the solution does not work.

From the linked issue above: (don't forget to indent your for loops...)

from processing.core.alglist import algList
from processing.gui.menus import defaultMenuEntries
from processing.core.ProcessingConfig import ProcessingConfig
for provider in algList.providers:
   for alg in provider.algs:
      default = defaultMenuEntries.get(alg.commandLineName(), "")
      ProcessingConfig.setSettingValue("MENU_" + alg.commandLineName(), default)

and restart QGIS

Ooops..

The "Italic" formatting removed a vital part of the code...

It should say: "MENU_" with an underscore on the last row of code.
