Create a "System" menu item and a "Settings" sub-menu under it

[petertzy]

Create a "System" menu item and a "Settings" sub-menu under it. Clicking the "Settings" sub-menu will open a dialog box allowing users to make numerous settings. Existing settings can be retained. This "Settings" sub-menu is used to set a large amount of data at once.

I think the issue is that you're trying to add a menu item and sub-menu to the existing tkinter application, but you haven't specified the exact code path where this should happen. Can you point me to the function or file where the menu is currently being created, or provide more context about how you're trying to add this new menu item?

Hi @petertzy, I’d like to take a look at this issue.

I’ll first check where the current menu is created in the Tkinter app and try to understand how the existing settings are opened, then I can suggest or implement the new “System” menu with the “Settings” sub-menu.

The menu-related code is all located in the ui.py file, while the implementation of the functionality is mostly in the logic.py file.
The reason I considered adding a “System” menu is twofold: first, to make it more convenient to view settings, and second, to allow all configurations to be managed in a single interface, making setup faster without having to search through different menus.
At the moment, you can proceed with this task. The settings already exist, but they are scattered across different menu sections. You can consolidate them and present them within the “System” interface. Thanks.

For your project’s data management interface, I’ll add a "System" menu item with a "Settings" sub-menu that opens a centralized dialog for bulk configuration. The dialog will reuse your existing settings structure for consistency, ensuring no disruption to current functionality.

In a similar project, I built a settings panel for a data pipeline tool that handled dozens of configuration fields efficiently. The implementation will follow your existing UI patterns to maintain cohesion.

I can start immediately with a clear breakdown of the required changes. Let me know if you’d like to review initial mockups before development.
