Question

Can we add menu item in "File->Scripts"?

Hi !!

I have a question. Is it possible to add a menu item in File->Scripts? I know that its is possible to add a menu item in the Scripts goroup. But, that will appear similar to the screenshot below.

But, I wanted to insert the menu item in the Scripts menu. Here is a screenshot of what I intend to do. The image is photoshopped to achieve the desired effect. So, do not think that I already have the solution!

Can we achieve this?

Please answer soon!

Thanks!

menuData.itemText=ai::UnicodeString( “hahahahhahahahaah” );

error = sAIMenu->AddMenuItem(this->fPluginRef, "lalalalalalal", &menuData, kMenuItemWantsUpdateOption,&itemHandle);

Alternately, if you have a script you just want to have show up there, drop the .jsx (or whatever else is supported) in [Program Files]\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS[version]\Presets\en_US\Scripts and it should show up automatically. I'm guessin there's a similar directory if you search for it (Presets) on the Mac.

I looked into this briefly but it's either not possible, or not intuitive.  I didn't see any API to insert items into the Illustrator menus.
