Double menu items on os x el capitan

[ChrisW67]

You could try creating your menu entry, waiting until the UI is shown (use a zero timer and a simple slot), and then removing/hiding your menu item leaving the OS X Auto-magic one. Yes, it would be an ugly hack.

You can call Objective C functions from C++ if you jump through hoops

You're timer idea was simple enough and works fine except theres no short cuts. I guess that will work until Qt catches up with El Capitan. Thanks for the pointer.

For anyone interested this is what i did because i still build and run on Yosemite.

In the constructor...

#if defined Q_OS_MAC
    if (QSysInfo::productVersion() == "10.11") {
        QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
        timer->setSingleShot(true);
        connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(elCapitanMenuHack()));
        timer->start(0);
    }
#endif

#if defined Q_OS_MAC
    if (QSysInfo::productVersion() == "10.11") {
        QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
        timer->setSingleShot(true);
        connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(elCapitanMenuHack()));
        timer->start(0);
    }
#endif

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And then a private slot...

void MainWindow::elCapitanMenuHack() {
    ui->menu_View->removeAction(ui->action_enter_full_screen);
    ui->menu_View->removeAction(ui->action_exit_full_screen);
}

void MainWindow::elCapitanMenuHack() {
    ui->menu_View->removeAction(ui->action_enter_full_screen);
    ui->menu_View->removeAction(ui->action_exit_full_screen);
}

You might like the QTimer::singleShot() static function.

Even better just needs to be set to a non zero value.

#if defined Q_OS_MAC
    if (QSysInfo::productVersion() == "10.11") {
        QTimer::singleShot(1, this, SLOT(elCapitanMenuHack()));
    }
#endif

#if defined Q_OS_MAC
    if (QSysInfo::productVersion() == "10.11") {
        QTimer::singleShot(1, this, SLOT(elCapitanMenuHack()));
    }
#endif

Thanks again.
