Hi, Akkana already wrote about the most important part, the file image_menu.xml.in. I'd like to add some things that might be interesting, too: 1. Positions: - If you register a script in a menu, i.e. <Image>/File, it is appended at the end of this menu. - If you register a script in a placeholder, i.e. <Image>/Filter/Light and Shadow/Glass, it is also appended at its end. - Registering a script in <Toolbox> will append it at the end of the menubar, that is after the Help menu. - Registering a script in <Toolbox>/File will append it at the end of the File menu, after the items registered at <Image>/File. However, registrations at <Toolbox> shouldn't happen anymore as this is deprecated. Register at <Image> instead. Menus can be subdivided with separators. For instance see the main menus and Filters/Light and Shadow. Within every group of menu items are sorted alphabetically and they are grayed-out if no images are open. Plug-ins you registered yourself break these two rules. 2. Time of registration: Registration is triggered on GIMPs initialization and if you call Filters/Script-Fu/Refresh Scripts. If you want to look into the code, the function gimp_plugin_manager_restore in gimp_plugin_manager_restore is the place to look at. It is called from the after-'restore' signal callback function in /app/core/gimp. Looking how the signals 'initialize' and 'restore' are handled will give more insights if you are interested in that. 3. Conflicts: First come, first serve: if two scripts register functions with the same name only the last registration gets a menu item. The registrations before get lost, but only halfway: all their positions are replaced with the last registered plug-in, even if it never registered there (IMHO this is a bug). If somebody knows more additions are welcome. > > I tired to try out how to get my python plugins in the right place.

Please don't attach images to the mailing lists, because the lists areread by ca. 1000 people each and not everyone of them likes his postbox filled with images without prior request You will have success if you upload your image to a hoster and post the link here. > > This could be later published on gimp.org. ... and/or the devel-docs folder or the wiki. Thanks for your suggestion.
