My guess is that you've got an .rc file in

That will prevent the new one from being picked up. Rename any that
are in there to end in ".old" or whatever and then re-run rg. All the
correct menu items should reappear.
Ah !!!
That will be the problem.
Gentlemen, gentlemen ... I cannot thank you enough! I spent 6 hours
yesterday trying to figure out why nothing I changed in MatrixView.cpp
and/or matrix.rc had any effect whatsoever. Ritual suicide was beginning
to look like my best option.
The problem actually wasn't ~/.local/share/rosegarden/rc (that directory
didn't exist), but rather /usr/share/rosegarden/rc from my distro's
17.12 installed package. It only took 5 seconds to figure that out,
mkdir ~/.local/share/rosegarden/rc, and copy my development tree's
matrix.rc into there. Voila!
Is there a way to configure something like a compiled-in or
runtime-settable $QT_SEARCH_PATH to keep the RG executable from using
/usr/share? Wait ... got it! Searched the docs, found QStandardPaths,
searched the code, found ResourceFinder.cpp -- all good now. (I'll
restore the original "prefixes" variable's static initializer in
ResourceFinder::getSystemResourcePrefixList() before submitting any
merge requests.)
Yes I'm a Qt newbie, and yes I probably should learn it before trying to
implement my feature request. But I claim I do understand software (see
fixes above) and still hope that a lot of what I'm trying to contribute
can be done by using code that already exists in RG as examples. I did
break down and go through a bunch of Qt tutorials yesterday, but I don't
think I would have found the problem you've solved for me without
several weeks of intensive training in Qt.
Thanks again. Onward and upward from here. Hopefully not too many more
stupid questions from me. I *will* write the feature request but want to
experiment a bit more with stub implementations to clarify the details
of what I'll be proposing.
