Adding a new place to save and open files via API

Hello,
In MindManager, you can add different places like Google Drive, Dropbox, One Drive, etc to save and open files.
Is there a way to add a custom button in this menu via MindManager API?

If so, how can you do that?

Unfortunately the enumeration for this menu has the comment "Deprecated Not in MindManager?", so it it possible that it has not been available for a long time.

Hi Nick,
I tried out the "SetDynamicMenu" method from the command object and came up with another question:
As the enumeration "mmDynamicMenuFileOpen" is deprecated I used "mmDynamicMenuFileSave" instead.

After starting MindManager I can find my button in the "save as"-menu.

If I open the "save"-Menu, only this is displayed:

Is there a way to add a button there? Is it the wrong Control? For your information: The Command is connected to a GroupButton.

I tried the value mmDynamicMenuFileSaveAs, but could not find anything added to any menu there either.

It seems likely that the menu enumerations are mixed up: mmDynamicMenuFileSave posts to the Save As menu, and mmDynamicMenuFileSaveAs simply disappears, unfortunately.

As you mentioned this is unfortunate. Nevertheless, in MindManager, you can add other places to save and load files like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. Is there a way to add another program to this list and if so, how can you do that?

I don't think this menu is in the dynamic menu enumerations. It is hard to be certain, though, because there are many deprecated and historical entries.

I will try it out and if I find something I will let you know.
