How to add custom menu to take manager
-
Hi guys,
I wonder if it is possible to add a command plugin via a custom menu to the menu of the take manager? Similar to how one can add a custom menu to the material manager for example.

Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Menus in Cinema can normally be accessed using the c4d.gui.GetMenuResource(id) function. The list of available menus can be found in the Menu Manager (Window -> Customization -> Menu Manager).
The Takes Manager is a special case in a sense that its menu is not publicly exposed, hence it's not actually possible to access it.
Please, be aware that reordering and amending native Cinema menus is highly discouraged. More on that in an adjacent thread in the @ferdinand 's posting: Insert my own command in main render Tab
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Cheers,

Hi @i_mazlov,
thank you for your reply.
Yes, I thought as much. Too bad the take manager menu is not publicy exposed.
And while I understand that Maxon as well as the community are not big fans of every plugin messing around with menu insertions, it still is a pitty.
One can e.g. insert plugins into the menu of the material manager as done so by "CV-Swim".
IMHO it should pose no problem when done carefully with UX in mind while doing so. Especially when one "only" appends entries to a menu.
Nethertheless thank you for confirmation.
Cheers,
Sebastian
