no i mean , our own properties like bool prop, enum prop,
so in a use case scenario,
if bool1 == True , then only show buttons in the menu,
else show some other buttons ,
in this case we will need a bool prop,
there can be a lot of use of this functions ,
what do you think
I understood.
Certainly it seems convenient.
I consider the implementation method and implement it if possible.
I wrote documentation page.
The site is written in Japanese, but automatic translation is available.
Customize Menu Editor【Documents】 – 忘却まとめ
https://bookyakuno.com/doc/customize-menu-editor/
The addon Scatter Objects has no button (only search bar accessible). I want to create a button with Customize Menu Editor. Unfortunately it does not work as expected (not even with macro recorder). Any tips ?.
I made a video to register the “Scatter Object” add-on menu.
If you register as “Operator” type, it should work properly.
Also, if you want to use an operator who enters a special operation mode with the “Command” type or macro,‘INVOKE_DEFAULT’ is required.
(The video add-on menu is the latest version, so it’s a little different, but don’t worry)
The Operator, who enters a special operation mode,Requires ‘INVOKE_DEFAULT’
Wow, that was a quick and well done answer. Now it works. I have waited a long time for such an addon. Thank you so much. 
Advanced features have been added to create more flexible menus.

The display of the edit menu has been improved to make it easier to identify the difference between display switching and type switching.
Added use_property_split to layout options.
The property label and button are displayed separately.
This is useful when using FloatProperty or when you want to display many properties side by side.
You can directly enter the layout script in the “layout element only” type.
Editor type that displays the panel menu- Limited display mode in 3D view You can set the display location in the property editor.
This setting is also reflected when “Export as Add-on” is executed.
In 3D view, you can limit the display mode.
In Property Editor, you can set the display location of the tab.
I tried to avoid the error.
I made a function to add a macro edit list to the menu so that the macro can be easily accessed.
Users can create properties.
You can perform advanced processing using properties.
For advanced users.
| type | Explanation |
|---|---|
| bool | Truth |
| string | String |
| int | integer |
| float | Floating point |
The above property types are available.
| type | Explanation |
|---|---|
| var_name | Variable name of the property used internally |
| Unique name | |
| Space cannot be used | |
| default | Set the initial value of the property |
| Used when exported as an add-on | |
| name | The name of the property |
| description | Property description |
| subtype | You can set the data type of int/float/string |
| unit | Unit of int/float data can be set |
| min | You can set the minimum value of int/float |
| max | You can set the maximum value of int/float |
uprop ( "var_name" )
You can use the above code as a property.
bpy.context.preferences.addons['customize_menu_editor'].preferences.customizemenu_colle_uprop['var_name'].bool
To access from outside the addon, you need to write as above.
You can now export as an add-on from the user settings.
The settings are saved as add-on settings, and you can save input when exporting again.
You can also export and change settings from add-on settings.
When retrieving history, rewrite the history so that the code always works on active data.
Currently only the following data is supported.
Even if you register the history of the property change of the material node as it is, it always works only with a specific material.
The options can be rewritten as below to work with the active material.
“Material.001” “Principled BSDF” node properties menu
bpy.data.materials["Material.001"].node_tree.nodes["Principled BSDF"].inputs[4].default_value
“Principled BSDF” node properties menu for active material
bpy.context.object.active_material.node_tree.nodes["Principled BSDF"].inputs[4].default_value
Hi there, I’m excited to be able to make some tools with this one, especially since I don’t know any python. My first “addon” is made by recording some macros and setting them to clickable buttons, like the video tutorial. I’m running into some issues and am hoping someone can help me out.
This video clip shows what the addon does, but here’s a short description. The first button adds an Empty, orients them to the cursor, and renames them to “Null”. The second button searches for all “Nulls” in the scene by name, and places them in a collection. The third button simply parents the nulls to that object. This clip shows the prototype working correctly.
So, the prototype works fine, but when I export and try to import it as an addon, I get this error. Since I don’t know python, I’ve got no idea how to fix it.
This is a screenshot of on of the recorded macros. If something wrong is happening here, please let me know of the illegal operation.
Lastly, and this is a bit of a side from the exported addon not loading correctly-- The final part of functionality that I’d like to add to this addon is to create a button that calls or links to an export function, specifically this one. I’ve tried copied/pasted the python code listed, and also tried to use it as the input of the button with the “last action in history” thing, but I’m not having any luck here again, since I don’t know what python is requiring. Is there a way in this addon to set a button to call another python script, since operation requires the mouse to do some clicking?
This little widget would really streamline blender to AE workflow in a nice way if we can get it to work, I’ll share to make it available for anyone to use. Help with either of these issues would be really appreciated.
Thank you for using the add-on.
Error when trying to enable an add-on
The cause of the error is the problem caused by using " " in the command line.
Because it is duplicated with " " that encloses all commands when exporting
Use ’ ’ in each line.

How to copy the operator
You can also access it from the menu on the top right of the add-on
I tried to use the add-on, but there doesn’t seem to be an operator called “view3d.selectsmartsimilar”.
Thank you for the reply. Changing the “” to single quotes solved that error! 
So, I’d already had the developer extras enabled, but copying the exporter python command link still isn’t working, so I’m gonna have to do some more work to figure it out. Any thoughts are appreciated.
-also thanks for alerting me about the “view3d.selectsmartsimilar”. It’s calling part of ‘machine tools’, so I’ll need to adjust that bit.
really love all your addons, thanks for the help and keep them coming 
The surest way is to look directly at the source code and get it from bl_idname.
class AAAA_OT_xxxx (Operator):
bl_idname = "xxxx.xxxx"
Unfortunately,
Property → Uncopyable menus such as modifier menus,
The copied command is an operator that works only under certain circumstances,
There are some cases where the information editor command is not in the correct history 
.
You need to know more about Blender’s Python or its operator structure.
thanks for the tip. I think I’m close to getting it working!
Macros are now converted as operator classes when exported as add-ons.
The source code will be more correct, and it will be easier to check and correct errors.
This eliminates the problem of getting an error when “” is in a command.
Added options to macro items.
Information can be added when the macro is operated.
It’s not required, but it gives you better source code.
Fixed an issue where menu results disappeared when in edit mode.
Removed the “Minimize Edit Menu” icon at the bottom right.
Changed to copy all source code in clipboard mode, which is exported as an add-on.
Hi @Bookyakuno, Great addon!
do you think it would be possible to add a feature that let me execute the tab like a floating window?
I would love to work in full screen and calling the necessary menu over the position of the mouse, much faster,
I do it in other applications and calling up the window with a hotkey and that the windows appearing under the mouse is much faster than looking for the menus and maximizes the workspace
to have the ability to call the outliner or any other window under the mouse and a clean window to work, it would be great
Does anyone know if there is something like this?
Added the pop-up display function of the user created menu.
If your PC has a large display size and the pop-up menu is narrow, you can adjust the menu width from the add-on settings.
Sorry if this has been answered but search didn’t provide any clues. Is it possible to add operations from other installed addons? Ie. If I have a bunch of addons that are filling up the N panel, and I’m using only some features of each addon, can I combine the features I need from those various addons into one menu as opposed to opening each addon I need for specific command I would use from it?
It is possible to add operators and properties for external add-ons.
After executing the external add-on function, you can register it in the menu using the history.
Please note that actions that do not leave a history cannot be menued.
