I thank you sire! The desire to add Python tools via menus, or other user friendly method, has been on my radar for years. Have had several describe Blue Print, plugin development, ini manipulation, etc. All involving steps and turns per project. Using this method, and placing into users Content/Python/init_unreal.py allows them to have the tools permanently added to the editor regardless. Thank you again.
Hey, I hope this will solve your issue: ToolMenus class has few useful methods: - unregister_owner_by_name(self, owner_name: Name) - remove_section(self, menu_name: Name, section: Name) - remove_menu(self, menu_name: Name) - remove_entry(self, menu_name: Name, section: Name, name: Name) With those you can unregister any menu entry or even whole menu and all it's children. When you register a new menu, it's name is "parent name" + "new menu name" So for instance if I extend `ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh` with `asset_context_menu.add_sub_menu("Custom.Menu","CustomMenu","SomeName","")`, then I should refer to it as 'ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh.SomeName' Knowing that name, we can unregister all sub entries and the menu: ``` menus = unreal.ToolMenus.get() menus.unregister_owner_by_name("ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh.SomeName") menus.remove_menu("ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh.SomeName") ``` I recommend refreshing widgets after that operation but my tests show that it's not necessary: ``` menus.refresh_all_widgets() ``` A protip: If you can't find tool menu name, you don't have to list it using a script. Switch commands to CMD mode and type `ToolMenus.Edit` It will show names (and a gear icon that opens menu editor) in the interface

bit late to the party, yeah that's what I expected to happen.. since he was just typing into what I call 'null' space. It is a bit of a redundant tutorial, after writing into a .py file a function it's never touched again, I was like what the heck is this? skip again.. oh so that py file I just made was for not particular future purpose other than a scratch pad for pasting into the python console, for all intent and purpose may as well have used notepad.

Dude this is awesome. Great vid. Are you the one that owns TAColor python tools? Btw your medium link isn't working.
Hey, thanks for the kind works! TAColor is not mine but looks cool!
Also, just fixed the url, thanks!
Hello! How to delete only this custom tab? I need to recreate it if context changes. But I can delete only all in MainMenu
Hey, I hope this will solve your issue:
ToolMenus class has few useful methods:
- unregister_owner_by_name(self, owner_name: Name)
- remove_section(self, menu_name: Name, section: Name)
- remove_menu(self, menu_name: Name)
- remove_entry(self, menu_name: Name, section: Name, name: Name)
With those you can unregister any menu entry or even whole menu and all it's children.
When you register a new menu, it's name is "parent name" + "new menu name"
So for instance if I extend `ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh` with `asset_context_menu.add_sub_menu("Custom.Menu","CustomMenu","SomeName","")`,
then I should refer to it as 'ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh.SomeName'
Knowing that name, we can unregister all sub entries and the menu:
```
menus = unreal.ToolMenus.get()
menus.unregister_owner_by_name("ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh.SomeName")
menus.remove_menu("ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh.SomeName")
```
I recommend refreshing widgets after that operation but my tests show that it's not necessary:
```
menus.refresh_all_widgets()
```

Hello, is it possible to create a custom tab with custom widget buttons…the widget custom buttons would be linked to existing tools already in UE.

You're amazing dude. Thanks a ton.
Thats great, but the menu disappears when you restart the editor.
Initialize it with startup script :)
