Duplicated menu entries after upgrading from Miranda IM

[Ducados]

Hi.

First post here, so hi to all.

The thing is that I've upgraded to Miranda NG from Miranda IM using the updater tool.

I don't have a plugin crowded installation, so the upgrade went so well that I've even upgraded again the same old installation from x86 to x64. Flawless again.

The only thing that bothers me is that I have now, both in the 32 and 64 bits installations, some duplicate entries in the main Miranda menu. This screenshot should show it better than I'll be able to explain:



These duplicated "Popups" and "Version information" entries is the only thing bothering me about the upgrade. I guess that the root of this might lie in old database entries not being deleted after the upgrade, but that's just guessing.

Is there a way to fix this?

TIA and best regards.

Hi,
The duplicated "Version Information" is because you use Version Information and Crash Dumper plugin. Remove the first one.

The other thing is more interesting. Could you post a version info?

Hi. You are right about the Version information. Now there is just one.

Both "Popups" menus have 2 commands. The first one (the one with the blue/red icon) has "Disable popups" and "Popup history". The former seems to be working (it changes the icon in the menu itself, but I still have to find if it actually disables the popups), but the latter doesn't do anything. The second menu has "Enable status notification" and "Disable new event notification". Both seem to be working.


Hope that this info can enlighten the issue.


Best regards.

Found it. Uncheck this option:

We will check later why they don't merge.

[Ducados]

Weird.

Unticking that option has actually made the menus merge, but only partially. The "Enable status notification" is now on the first menu (blue/red), but "Disable new event notification" has disappeared. This makes sense, since the option I've just disabled is under the "Events" options dialog, but why unticking it frees the "Enable status notification" and allows it to sit on the other menu?

The most noticeable difference between both menus is the icon. Can this be the culprit (I mean, having 2 menus pointing at different icons as headers)?

No. I can reproduce the issue, but its not because of the different icons.

Ducados: Try to open "Options / Customize / Menus", select "MainMenu" and then click to "Reset", then "Apply" and then eventually restart of Miranda. That should help.

(It's because there were changes of internal names of these menu items, that's why you have them duplicated after IM->NG upgrade.)

Just done it and there are still 2 Popup menus. The issue may lay elsewhere. That was well thought, nonetheless.

[Robyer]

Well it must be somehow broken in your profile, maybe that reset won't fix it automatically. Because when you try clean new profile, it works, right?

So try this: go into Database Editor++ and manually rename all items in section "MainMenu_Items" which has in name "PopUp" (with upper U) and change it to "Popup" (or just delete completely that "PopUp" ones).

This is even more weird. With a new profile, there is no menu duplicity, but "Disable new event notification" doesn't get shown, regardless of the "Show entry in Popup menu" setting.

As for the PopUp thing, I remember doing it as a part of the IM > NG upgrade. No PopUp in my DB.

BTW, case sensitive searching in the DB seems broken here.

There are 2 Popup menus on a completely new profile with "Show entry in the Popup menu" option enabled in NewEventNotify (restart is required for this double menu to appear) . It's not because of IM <> NG upgrade.

I think solution for this would be somewhat similar to this and this, i just don't know how to implement it myself.

[Robyer]

(restart is required for this double menu to appear)

Aha! That's why I didn't saw that :-) You were right about mentioned commits, I commited a fix just now.

[watcher]

Cool! So it will arrive to Ducados with tomorrow's nightly build.

That's why I missed it when I tried a clean profile. Thanks for the fix.

Thanks!

Unrelated, but has anyone looked into this? Can confirm? Should I open a new post about it?
