But you can turn off all the toolbars in the View menu. So users who did not use Automation could always hide that toolbar. I do not think adding more to the Tools menu is the answer as that menu is already cluttered.

I just want to be assured that adding an Automation top level menu is the right thing to do for the majority of Sigil users.

From a code perspective this change is quite invasive as the code requires its own new dialog, its own main menu, its own dynamically built menus that need to be torn down and rebuilt on the fly, a way to associate list names with toolbar buttons and remember them, etc. That was okay for a major new feature like plugins that everybody uses. It may not be right for a feature like Automation.

This is why am I am asking for broader feedback. Not just from the handful of people who requested an extended automation feature.
