Hi,

I am trying to add custom menu in NUKE tool.

I created user folder in nuke installed folder/plugin folder.
I created menu.py and pasted inside the user folder.

I copied the folowing code in to menu.py,

m = menubar.addMenu("&Test")
m.addCommand("Test", "nukescripts.test()", "")

But nuke is not identifying this custom menu.
How to solve this problem? I want to create the custom menu using folder structure system only, instead pf copying the code in nuke menu.py.

Regards,
Mani

There's nothing wrong with your code. The problem is Nuke won't automatically search a folder just because you put a menu.py file in it... you have to explicitly tell it to.

Why not just put the menu.py in your user profile's ".nuke" folder, which is already part of the plugin path?
