BTT crashes when custom context menu has an AppleScript widget.

BTT crashes when the custom context menu has an AppleScript widget.

I've been trying to make a custom context menu with dynamic buttons (shuffle). In theory, when shuffle is enabled, it should say 'on', and when it's off it should say 'off'. I have the script all working and stuff, but when I copy the button UUID and put it in the custom context menu, then click it, BTT crashes.

I don't know if dynamic buttons in the custom context menu are possible, but it would open a world of possibilities if it were. It would allow Apple-style drop downs, which is basically what I was trying to do.

could you post your script / setup? I’m not sure if I fully understand.


Basically, the menu bar item called 'Now playing good' is the 'Play Media' button on my menu bar. when I click it, it shows a custom context menu, which shows the 'Shuffle' button. The UUID you see is linked to this button:

Because this button is an Applescript widget, it crashes BTT.

ah sorry, this can not work. The touchbar buttons/widget are completely separate and can not be used in other views.

It’s an interesting idea though, I’ll think about adding scriptable buttons

that would be good. also maybe groups in the menu bar, like Touch Bar groups? just thoughts
