Description

It is not possible to customize single entries of the menu bar. For example trying to remove "geoprocessing" and "geometry" in the "Vector" menu, after the reboot, the entries are still there. Same problem with all the menus, but it works fine with the panels button.

History

#1 Updated by Radim Blazek almost 11 years ago

Customization only works for objects with objectName. objectName is automatically set by Qt for objects created in designer (compiled from .ui). For objects created programmatically it has to be set. I have added object names to fTools in d334b46, but they have to be added in all plugins.

Recommendation for plugin authors: when you are adding QMenu or QAction, always set its object name, e.g.:

   myMenu = QMenu('My menu")
   myMenu.setObjectName("myMenu")

Hi Radim,
thanks for your work, well done!
Now it is possible to customize entirely the Vector menu. Do you plan to do the same work with the Raster menu?

Not really. Could you create pull request?

I'm not able to write that code, sorry...
Maybe someone else can help with this issue, I think it wouldn't take much time for a skilled person.

#5 Updated by Radim Blazek almost 11 years ago

I added objectName to all core C++ plugins in 0f590db.

Also various QgisApp::get*Menu() (used by changed to addPluginTo*Menu()) changed to set always the objectName to at least normalizedMenuName() of menu title. That is not perfect because the titles are translated. We have to add an objectName param to addPluginTo*Menu() functions.

#6 Updated by Radim Blazek over 10 years ago

Remaining objectName added also in Python plugins in 748ff8b2.

The "Processing" menu still does not work. QgisApp::instance()->menuBar() in QgsCustomization::createTreeItemMenus() somehow does not contain the menu previously added by Processing plugin:

menuBar.insertMenu(interface.iface.firstRightStandardMenu().menuAction(),self.menu)

I tried to change 

QWidget * QgisInterface::mainWindow()

to 
QMainWindow * QgisInterface::mainWindow()

but it does not help.
