How do I define a new jsx file I created as a menu item within bridge?  Documentation says to look at sample snpaddmenuitem.jsx, but I cannot find it within my sdk sample list.  Thank you in advance for any assistance.

You could just alter the script and use another ID or you could check and see if the ID was in use first...

//MenuElement.remove(id); // to remove item but next time the script is loaded it would be back.

//MenuElement.create( type, text, loc, id );

var MenuExists = MenuElement.find ("myMenuID");
if(!MenuExists) {
alert("Menu item does not exist");
}else{
  alert("Menu item does exist");
}

Here are a couple of examples..

#target bridge   
   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {  
addInfo = new MenuElement("command", "Details of What it Does", "at the end of Thumbnail");
}
addInfo .onSelect = function () { 
   myFunction();
}
function myFunction(){
 //Add your code here
}
///////////  Example with new Menu
#target bridge   
   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { 
      newMenu = new MenuElement( "menu", "Paul\'s Tools", "after Help", "myMenu" ); 
      RPP = new MenuElement( "command", "Reset Photoshop Preferences", "at the end of myMenu","myAlert"  ); 
      };
RPP.onSelect = function () { 
 runMyScript();
}
function runMyScript(){
 //add your code here
}

Is there a clean recovery option if menu items are added incorrectly?  How do I discern the id of the new menu item to delete it?  I have been reluctant to pull the trigger on this.
