hi; you can set an id attribute on any section, and then retrieve the GMenu associated with that section, at which point you can add any further item there, e.g.: <section> <attribute name="id">view-placeholder</attribute> <item> ... </item> </section> then use the GMenuModel API to iterate over the menu until you hit the section with the "view-placeholder" id attribute. at that point, you can use the GMenu API to add items at that section. gedit has some simple code that handles their extension mechanism for menus: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit/tree/gedit/gedit-app.c#n1613 and a class that handles appending/prepending/removing menus by using a "merge-id" attribute on the GMenuItem added by an extension. ciao, Emmanuele.
