I use the TCMenu v1.9 plug-in to sort toolbars together of similar subject applications. When I want to edit the contents of one of those toolbars that is not the main one, I have to select it via the Configuration drop down menu and then edit away. That's all good and works well. No problem.
An annoyance however is that when you finished editing the sub-toolbar you were interested in, there's no way to exit again without making that toolbar you've just edited the new current one to display all the time.
Upon exiting, you get a dialog that says something like "Do you want to make this your new main toolbar? Y/N". It doesn't matter what you answer, the main toolbar always changes to the one you've just edited, thereby necessitating manually changing it back again.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a way of doing what I want to do without having to constantly change the main toolbar back to DEFAULT every single time? It gets quite annoying after the 57th time.
Do you want to make this the new main button bar?

Perhaps you haven't noticed that TC has built-in support for drop-down bars (since TC 7.50, which was introduced in 2008), and they may be easilly configured just from button context menu, also every separate button in a drop-down menu has its own context menu, just like if it was on active bar.
To add a subbar as menu, just drag it onto active buttonbar and then set 'Show as menu' button option. TC shows a little triangle on such drop-down button icon. Notice that you can alwatys do a Shift+click in order to switch behaviour (i.e. for drop-down bar Shift+click will open that bar directly and for regular bar it will show it as menu).
To edit buttonbar from its button just open button context menu and select 'Edit linked button bar...' command, make your changes and click OK. There is no need to make that buttonbar active.

You're right, I was not aware of this.MVV wrote:Perhaps you haven't noticed that TC has built-in support for drop-down bars (since TC 7.50, which was introduced in 2008), and they may be easilly configured just from button context menu, also every separate button in a drop-down menu has its own context menu, just like if it was on active bar.
I'm following these instructions as best as I can, but can't get this to work. Forgetting that I already have TCMenu installed and working, how does one go about setting drop down toolbar menus up like TCMenu produces from first principals explained like I'm a 4yo?To add a subbar as menu, just drag it onto active buttonbar and then set 'Show as menu' button option.

All I've managed to make happen so far is to have a button on the main toolbar switch to another button bar, but this replaces the first button bar entirely, such that I can't see it anymore and I can't easily switch back to it again either, which is completely unacceptable. The implementation needs to be exactly like TCMenu does it, with a vertical dropdown menu structure such that you can still see the original toolbar with all its original buttons intact.
