Browser extensions become more complex and sophisticated in their menu options. For example, Downthemall has some amazing menu options I never knew existed. Menu Editor revealed them all.
This trend of more and more menu options in extensions should be welcomed. More options means greater power and productivity.
Menu Editor seeks to make these options available in a severely restricted space. However it does not always succeed. Many menu options, especially in the context menu, do not get displayed at all, though marked as Visible.
May I suggest that Menu Editor, in Advanced mode, add the Create New Folder or Create New Directory feature as a solution. Then all menu items from an extension can be accommodated in one or two folders within the Main Context or Main Tab menus. This would make all menu items available to the user. A fine existing example would be the Downthemall folder in the Firefox Tools dropdown menu. The user can access the DTA menu items in that folder without Downthemall hogging a lot of menu space.
In fact, Menu Editor can feature the autocreation of such folders. It could automatically group all menu items from an extension in its own folder which appears as just one item on the Main Context or Tab menu.
