Hello, I seem to have broken the Vision Client Menu Bar. Just upgraded to 8.0.10 and brought this project with me. At some point in the past, I had tried to remove the Command menu by deleting it... then I found the Hide option.

Now the Menu Structure is empty and I cannot add anything. The OK and Apply buttons do nothing but trigger this output:

Do you have any other client event scripts (startup, shutdown, keystroke, etc) that you care about? If _not_, you can probably take care of this by closing the designer, going into the gateway filesystem (`<install directory>/data/projects/<yourProjectName>/com.inductiveautomation.vision/client-event-scripts/`) and deleting the entire folder. Once you relaunch the designer, it should automatically create a default resource with no event scripts that you’re then able to customize.

If you _do_ have something to preserve, get in touch with support; they should be able to come up with a way to extract your existing data.

Good to hear! I filed a ticket anyways, so hopefully nobody else ends up in this scenario.
