Re: [Nuke-python] menu and menuitem

that is a bit annoying but you can use simple string parsing to ship around it, e.g:

menu = nuke.menu('Nuke')

menu.addMenu('testMenu')

testMenu = menu.menu('testMenu')

menu.addCommand('%s/myNewCommand' % testMenu.name(), lambda: nuke.createNode('Blur'))

Hello:
I was trying to use to find an existing menu and add some commands to it using the .menu("") call but it appears this is returning a MenuItem object instead of a Menu, and thus I can't call addCommand on it.
Nuke 8.0v3 in Linux:

menubar = nuke.menu("Nuke")

# Result:

testMenu = menubar.addMenu("Test Menu")

# Result:

testMenu

# Result:

<Menu object at 0x1d13b10>

menubar.menu("Test Menu")

# Result:

<MenuItem object at 0x1d139d8>

Shouldn't menubar.menu("Test Menu") return a Menu object?
.findItem seems to return a MenuItem as well:

menubar.findItem("Test Menu")

# Result:

<MenuItem object at 0x1d139a8>

Even iterating through .items() gives me a menuItem.

for i in menubar.items():

if i.name() == "Test Menu":

print i

# Result:

<MenuItem object at 0x1d137b0>

Am I totally not seeing the forest through the trees on how to get a Menu object to then call addCommand?

Thank you!

Jake
