Organising Rubies
-
I've noticed that some rubies install into their own submenu in the plugins dropdown.. is this something we can do to organise the plugins? eg put all the edge tools in 1 submenu, all the exporters in another etc?
just a thought..
-
This plugin makes an attempt at doing that: http://www.smustard.com/script/Organizer
Although it isnt compatible with all plugins.

aah thank you

You can also do it yourself to a certain extent. The main problem is with the scripts that are encrypted so you can't edit them yourself. And I think Rick's script that Remus linked to is also limited by that same issue as well?

I was working on cleaning up and consolidating my own plugin mess earlier today, as a matter of fact. I hope to get all mine into a single sub-menu, along with some help and configuration items for each of them.

how would I edit the ruby to move into a submenu then? (totally in the dark on this)

The challenge then becomes trying to remember who wrote that cool plugin that will do what you need.
I think we developers need to get on the same page, whatever that ends up being.

Only to the extent that if the original author didn't make it Organizer-compatible, it won't show up in submenus. Organizer can still load an "organized" .rbs file, but it will show up in the hard-coded menu, and OrganizerEdit (obviously) can't edit it to make it compatible.

I have been working at making my plugins compatible. Although Organizer is not a free script, I want to support my users who do use it. Particulary for single-file scripts, it's as easy as:
($submenu || UI.menu('Plugins')).add_item("Menu Text") { command }And yes it does work if the script is scrambled.
