[Ronny Ascencio]

Hello I am trying to do a custom menu in the top menu bar but I am not able to make it work i have been searching and havent found something any know have a simple but correct example? 

I am loading the .py file form a resources path  and it loads correctly is printing in terminal  the debug but is not adding the menu to the menu bar of gaffer 

here is the code :

import functools

import GafferUI

import GafferSceneUI

import Gaffer

def test_function(menu):

    print("Test menu item selected")

GafferUI.ScriptWindow.menuDefinition().append(

    "/Test/Version Up",

    {

        "command": functools.partial(test_function),

        "label": "Version Up",

        "shortCut": ""

    }

)

Hi,

It looks like you're very close to a working solution. The .py file needs to be installed in a location on $GAFFER_STARTUP_PATHS, such as the gaffer/startup/gui folder in your user home directory, and you'll need to modify the following line:

`GafferUI.ScriptWindow.menuDefinition().append(`

to provide `application` to menuDefinition() so that you're modifying the menuDefinition for the current application:

`GafferUI.ScriptWindow.menuDefinition( application ).append(`

For more background, you can find a bit more info in the startup config tutorials, and in this blog post about Gaffer's app structure and startup configs: https://blog.gafferhq.org/?p=210

Cheers,

Murray
