Hi,

This is quite common with other software that uses plugins.
You want something like the two filter menus in the Gimp, which is in
fact just bad UI design.
I was thinking about the "Tools" menu in Firefox where each "Add-on" you
install gets an entry.
It creates a mess to find a function in the
menu you want to use.
I agree that with the current JOSM plugin landscape, where we have lots
of "one-trick pony" plugins, this might seem strange. But I'd love to
see some consolidation in the plugins so that we don't have 5 plugins
that do closely related stuff but know nothing of each other.
Sure, every solution has it's drawbacks. But what's the users interest?
To know which menu item is caused by which plugin, or to intuitively
find a functionality where a user expects it.
If you have just asked for something on the list, and people have told
you "install the XYZ plugin, then you can do what you want", I think it
would not be too much to ask from the user to go to the "Plugins/XYZ"
menu. Indeed this provides a clear visual clue that the XYZ plugin is
indeed installed and active.
Bye
Frederik
