Bug ID: 423341
Summary: Add menu manipulation to Python API
Product: krita
Version: 4.2.9
Platform: MS Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Scripting
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: adric.wor...@epicgames.com
Target Milestone: ---
It would be useful to scripters for the Python API to expose methods for
manipulating the menuing system. There does not currently appear to be any way
to create menus/submenus, limiting scripters' ability to organize registered
actions.
The method of adding actions listed in the extension documentation uses a
string tag to place the item in a menu. This works only as long as the tags
correspond to preexisting menus, and provides little direct control over the
presentation and order of the resulting menu.
Additionally, there appears to be some "special sauce" to how the menus are
generated and populated that prevents vanilla PyQt methods from being a
sufficient workaround. A new menu can be added to the menubar trivially with
the following code:
krita.Krita.instance().windows()[0].qwindow().menuBar().addMenu("My Menu")
but the log viewer shows a warning "setMouseGrabEnabled: Not setting mouse grab
for invisible window QWidgetWindow/'QMenuClassWindow'" when the new menu is
clicked, and no menu items appear even when the menu exists before action
creation and the action is registered with the appropriate placement tags for
the hack-added menu. Also, if a new windows is created after hack-adding the
menu, it is only visible on the instance where it was originally added; the new
window will not have it.
