Problem description
Many FrameMaker plugins create their own menu directly in the FrameMaker menu bar. This can make the menu bar very unclear.
![[i]-frame Group Plugin Menus](typo3temp/pics/dbc20f8e04.png)
Function description
The script moves the plugin menus into their own ‘Plug-ins’ menu.
The menu command functions as a switch. The current status is indicated by a checkmark in front of the command.
![[i]-frame Group Plugin Menus](fileadmin/content/images/Leistungen/FrameScript/i-frame_en/GroupPluginMenus3.png "[i]-frame Group Plugin Menus")
You can specify which menus are to be displayed directly in the menu bar and which are to be displayed in the Plug-ins menu using the ‘Plug-ins > Configure’ menu item.

Requirements
- FrameMaker 6.0 or higher
- FrameScript/ElmScript 4.1 or higher
Notes
The script works with structured and unstructured documents.
The ‘Group Plugin Menus’ command is available in the ‘View’ menu in addition to the ‘[i]-frame > Base Pack’ menu.
FrameScript must be initialized as client type ‘TakeControl’ (instead of ‘Standard’) in the maker.ini file:
fsl=TakeControl,FrameScript,C:\Programme\ElmSoft\..., all
With a regular FrameScript installation (from FS 4.1), the FS Setup program will automatically assign ‘TakeControl’ to the maker.ini entry.
