Description

currently it is not easy possible to capture the applications preferences menu item, except via the title, which is a bit unstable.

either we define a tag value or a predefined action selector that can be detected. for example:

- (void) pluginInitialize {
    [super pluginInitialize];

    NSMenu* appMenu = self.viewController.window.menu;
    NSMenu* mainMenu = [appMenu itemAtIndex:0].submenu;

    bool found = false;
    for (NSMenuItem* item in mainMenu.itemArray) {
        if (item.action == @selector(onPreferences:)) {
            // we simply adjust the target for the preferences menu item to this plugin instance
            item.target = self;
            found = true;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (!found) {
        NSLog(@"Warning, didn't find preferences menu item.");
    }
}

- (IBAction) onPreferences:(id) sender {
    NSLog(@"onPreferences...");
}
