Description Hans-Peter 2017-09-22 21:53:18 UTC

Several menu items are missing in the drop-down menus: send email, create html gallery, print. Those actions can be configured for the tool bar and they work as expected, so they are there.

Command line shows (amongst the usual other messages):
...
kipi.library: Plugin  "KMLExport"  (generic name:  "KMLExport" ) is in the ignore list from host application
kipi.library: Plugin  "Bilder senden"  (generic name:  "SendImages" ) is in the ignore list from host application
kipi.library: Plugin  "Bilder drucken"  (generic name:  "Print images" ) is in the ignore list from host application
...

Modul Configuration shows 15 Kipi modules (kipi-plugins 5.7, libkipi 5.2), but the functions mentioned above are not listed there.

The missing tools are no longer part of the kipi-plugins. Look at the "Tools" menu.

Sorry, but that is exactly the problem i reported. The entries are NOT in the tool menu and nowhere else. They can only be found in Settings -> Configure Toolbar

Try rename/remove $HOME/.local/share/kxmlgui5/digikam/

Comment 6 caulier.gilles 2017-09-24 06:42:46 UTC

Maik,

The question still open. Why when we change one xml gui file, to add new menu entries, even if XML ID is incremented, the new items, sometime do not appear in application at run time ? I already reproduce this problem in the past. The solution was to drop the xml file to force the application to restore contents from new application version.

The file store from user space, with modifications relevant of customizations must be merged with new version contents. 

I suspect an XML syntax problem in current XML implementation with introduce problem at merging. But this is strange, the KXMLGUI framework never report this kind of problem in the console at run time.
