Creating submenus does not work in SequenceAnnotationGenerator

class myplugin extends GeneiousPlugin{

public static final GeneiousActionOptions p=new GeneiousActionOptions("name","description").setMainMenuLocation(MainMenu.Tools);

}

class mygenerator extends SequenceAnnotationGenerator{

public GeneiousActionOptions getActionOptions() { return GeneiousActionOptions.createSubmenuActionOptions(myplugin.p, new GeneiousActionOptions(...));}

}

It will create an item "name" under "Tools", but the item is always disabled.

But the same method in my DocumentOperation to create submenus works.

Is there anything wrong?

  Firstly, are you sure that you have selected some documents in Geneious which match the DocumentSelectionSignature from your SequenceAnnotationGenerator.getSelectionSignatures()?

  Yes. If I do not use the submenu and directly create an item under "Tools", it is enabled.

  That appears to be a bug in the API. I found a slightly ugly workaround though: add a divider to your submenu like this:

  public static final GeneiousActionOptions p=new GeneiousActionOptions("name","description").setMainMenuLocation(MainMenu.Tools).addSubmenuDivider(0.6);

  It will also be fixed if you have another DocumentOperation in the same menu.
