Archicad 29 Goodies check duplicates don't appear in the menu

[mhoude]

We did install the goodies add-on. We check in the add-on manager if the add-on is loaded and it is. We verified all menu and the tool check duplicates is not there and we did also went to the work environment and it not there.

We did the last patch and didn't resolve the problem.

OK, just installed 29 and also the latest hotfix.

Then started Archicad.

Of course there are no goodie add-ons.

Closed Archicad.

Now I have installed the goodies and also the latest hotfix again, because they say to do that.

Restarted Archicad using default template and Work Environment.

All of the goodie add-ons are there in the menus.

I tried to re-apply the 29.0.1 Hotfix and the installer won't let me. This appears to be a new behavior as I'm sure I've re-applied patches in the past. I do not want to re-install AC29 again.

I am pretty sure the updates don't install if your program is already up to date.

Actually I just tried again and it says I am up to date.

Because I had installed the goodies, after the initial update, it knew something had changed and allowed me to run the update again.

The difference in goodie behaviour could be because you are Mac and I am Windows.

Maybe it was sorted for Windows and not Macs?

I have no way to test that though.

re-applying patches has been useful in the past. Doing this also fixed my Grasshopper connection problems once. Not sure hw re-applying a patch on top of itself would be a problem.

Hopefully this is fixed in the next update/hotfix.

having this exact same issue - it's listed in the Add-On Manager, but it does not show up when selecting "All menus in alphabetical order" in the W/E.. but the commands within the menu do show up (but without the menu menu, so they do not load).

Everything is up to date.

This is a function that is relied on a LOT so this glitch in AC29 needs to be rectified asap.

If you are trying to add the commands to the menus in your Work Environment (I think that is what you are trying to do), then you can't search all menus in alphabetical order, because the commands are not yet in your menus.

You must search all commands in alphabetical order and add them to a menu.

I already tried that - several times. It does not work. This is clearly a bug.
If this is a Mac thing (you use a PC as you mentioned) this is a problem.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Goodies this morning - still does not work.

follow up... copied the add-on to a different location on the server, linked it via the add-on manager (i.e. pointed check duplicates to the new location) - and it loaded - by default into in the Options Menu (???) - sigh - then I moved it to the Edit menu in the W/E - this is a crazy workaround but will have to do until GS addresses the issue.
