Why do the range of UI Theme scripts that are available from http://www.frontiernet.net/~krich/themes/ fail to register properly. For example the script headers sets # Group: ‘Theme’ but the script appears in the Misc menu. Anyway to fix this?
Just a guess, but it makes sense that the Blender code doesn’t recognize the category that the registry wants to use, so it puts it in Misc. Not an easy thing to overcome without changing the Blender code I imagine.
If this is the case, then that is why Misc was included … so that new scripts who thought they belonged into a separate category could be accomodated without having to add to the menu list.
Why do we bother with a python script header if it is going to be ignored by blender. Is this a bug or an oversight?
It doesn’t ignore the header, it ignores unknown categories and uses Misc instead.
Definitly not a bug and not and oversight.

Forgive me Martin if I am labouring this thread. Are you saying that a script cannot create a new Group and must use one already hard-wired into the blender code?
That’s exactly what I’m saying.
