I do appreciate that the storage must be different, or I wouldn't have the
issue I have, I suspect.

My argument is an argument about consistency.

LibreOffice offers many functions and these functions have options. These Menu
and Toolbar options are customiseable. I see no rational for the argument that
extensions should not have this feature available to them as well.

An extension may offer many specific features, some of which, the user may or
may not want to see/use, just as with the core LibreOffice functions and their
options.

For example:
- the extension may offer a toolbar with 10 functions and a menubar with 15
items (10 duplicating the toolbar and 5 that are not consider by the developer
to be core)
- the user decides that they only want to see those items on the toolbar that
are core to them
- the user decides that one of the menu items not currently on the toolbar is
core to them and wishes to add it.
- the user decides that certain items in the menubar they will never be use and
does not wish to see them.

It really is about consistentcy within LibreOffice's User Interface.

Regards,
Rolf
