Well, what I actually tried to do when I stumbled upon this problem, is add a separator to the Library menu. What would be the "proper" way to do that?
You're right that that was an unresolved issue. What I've done now is fixed the default getter so that it creates the Library menu if needed, and gets set to nil when items are cleared. So you can use *default if you need to.
Actually, arguably it should be *library, not *default, since the real default is the app menu. 


And why is there a different syntax for the Library menu?
The Library menu and the easy adding was added later as a convenience method, AFAIK.

Hi all,
I'm not sure if the SCMenuItem stuff is still work in progress, but I'm experiencing some trouble when trying to add things to the Library menu with it: 


// [1] If the Library menu is not already there;

SCMenuItem( CocoaMenuItem.default, "Hi" );  // doesn't do anything


CocoaMenuItem.add(["Hi"])

In general this is how you should add to Library.
As for the rest I'll take a look. I think it's that default is not being cleared and you can't add to a dead menu. Not sure what's the best approach...

// [2] To get the Library menu there it seems required to do it via
// GUI.menuItem.add() once:

GUI.menuItem.add( [ "Hi1" ] );
SCMenuItem( CocoaMenuItem.default, "Hi2" ); // now it works

// [3] But, if I now do:

CocoaMenuItem.clearCustomItems;

// and try to do [2] again I get:


// -> ERROR: Primitive '_NewMenuItem' failed.

// [4] And things get worse. If I want to add a separator line
// (after recompiling and doing [2] again):

SCMenuSeparator( CocoaMenuItem.default, 1 ); // shows up correctly

// and try to quit, recompile or do:

CocoaMenuItem.clearCustomItems; // SC crashes ..


any thoughts? (btw I'm using rev 8892)

cheers,
Wouter
