MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Giving users menu/toolbars option when adding plugin

Ok, that makes sense. On my main system I definitely added it to both toolbars before while testing (removing the dont_add_to line). So on this system, if I remove the plugin, everything looks gone. But when I add it I don't get prompted and it appears on both toolbars.

After editing the gui.json to remove all traces of the new/old version, I get the expected behaviour - I get prompted only on the initial install and it goes where I tell it.

I see that I also need to add 'context-menu-device' to the dont_add_to set since I only want users to be able to select the main toolbar when device is connected. And I'll update my instructions after doing that since users won't have to select it manually.

Thanks again.
