Menubar v Toolbar v Context menu behaviour
This relates to simple tools, i.e. those that have no drop down options or dynamic menus, such Donate or the Drop Search Results PI.
If I add such a tool to the main toolbar, I can click on it and the tool does its thing - open the calibre-ebook.com/donate page, or show the DSR drop target. But when I put the same tools into the menu bar I get a one item menu, viz: Can the menubar feature be made to provide one click action on simple tools Added : If a I put a Simple Tool into a Context menu, I don't get a one item flyout, i.e. it works with one click BR Last edited by BetterRed; 05-09-2017 at 08:05 PM. |

While that is probably do-able on windows, on other platforms, such as OS X and some linux desktop environments, the menubar is placed outside the application window and in these cases it is not do-able. I like to avoid having things work differently on different platforms, as much as possible.

Bit surprised OSX users would be happy with one option menu items and having to click twice, but then again... 🤐 BR |
