Re: Where to place menu for both book and doc?

Thanks Jang - in the meantime I had a similar idea, noting that in the menu.cfg files there both a FormatMenu and a BookFormatMenu exists. But even this does not help:

     var menuLocation = app.GetNamedMenu("FormatMenu");     var bibenMenu  = menuLocation.DefineAndAddMenu("!BIBENmain", (localize(menuMain)));     bibenMenu.DefineAndAddCommand(1,"BibenDocu",    (localize(menuDocu)), "");     menuLocation = app.GetNamedMenu("BookFormatMenu");     var bkbibenMenu  = menuLocation.DefineAndAddMenu("!BIBENmain", (localize(menuMain)));     bkbibenMenu.DefineAndAddCommand(1,"BibenDocu",    (localize(menuDocu)), "");

The effect is the same as before!

I'm invoking the script without using the ESTK (because this does not work for my custom-installation of FM). I write the script in EditPadPro, save it and invoke it via File > Scripts > Run (or the catalogue). So far I'm successful - atbeit somewhat slow - with my development.

This separtation process may require that I do the second part of the menu definition this way:

     menuLocation = app.GetNamedMenu("BookFormatMenu");     var bkbibenMenu  = menuLocation.DefineAndAddMenu("!bkBIBENmain", (localize(menuMain)));     bkbibenMenu.DefineAndAddCommand(1,"BibenDocu",    (localize(menuDocu)), "");

In this case the menu entry Format > Bibliography... is present in both the document and the book, but in the book it is gray (inactive). So there is still a missing link.

Ah, now I got it: also the submenu items must be different:

     var menuLocation = app.GetNamedMenu("FormatMenu");     var bibenMenu  = menuLocation.DefineAndAddMenu("!BIBENmain", (localize(menuMain)));     bibenMenu.DefineAndAddCommand(1,"BibenDocu",    (localize(menuDocu)), "");     menuLocation = app.GetNamedMenu("BookFormatMenu");     var bkbibenMenu  = menuLocation.DefineAndAddMenu("!bkBIBENmain", (localize(menuMain)));     bkbibenMenu.DefineAndAddCommand(1,"bkBibenDocu",    (localize(menuDocu)), "");
