Config Minify Revit UI doesn't work properly while Enabled

[Drodericson]

Describe the bug
When you Shift+click on [Minify Revit UI] to open config while enabled, config can only hide additional ribbon tabs, it can't exclude tabs from being minified unless [Minify Revit UI] is disabled. So to change the minified tabs, you need to disable Minify, change the config, then enable it again. You should be able to change the config without having to disable and re-enable.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Configure [Minify Revit UI]
2. Enable [Minify Revit UI]
3. Configure [Minify Revit UI] while enabled.
4. Note that any newly checked ribbon tabs will be hidden (correct), while any unchecked tabs will not be unhidden (incorrect)

Expected behavior
I expect any ribbon tabs checked/unchecked to be enabled/disabled, regardless of whether [Minify Revit UI] is enabled or not.

Additional context
Let it also be noted that [Minify Revit UI] is disabled every time you open a new instance of Revit, or close and re-open your current instance of Revit. This seems like it may be related, but I am unsure.

Regarding the state of the Minify tool on opening Revit our solution was to make an app-init.py hook in our extensions hooks directory (see: hooks) with the following content:

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
"""ApplicationInitalized hook"""

from __future__ import print_function
from pyrevit import script, revit, EXEC_PARAMS
from pyrevit.loader import sessionmgr

from Autodesk.Revit import UI

logger = script.get_logger()

try:
    mifyui_id = UI.RevitCommandId.LookupCommandId(
        'CustomCtrl_%CustomCtrl_%pyRevit%Toggles%MinifyUI'
    )

    UI.UIApplication(__revit__).PostCommand(mifyui_id)
    logger.info('Successfully executed MinifyUI')

except:
    logger.error('Unhandled Exception', exc_info=1)

Just wondering will this fix be rolled out in the next release of RyRevit? Thanks

[Robbo1234]

Any update on this? @eirannejad @jmcouffin

Thanks

Where do you paste this code? Would it be to boot automatically when starting the revit?

check this out: https://pyrevitlabs.notion.site/Extension-Hooks-b771ecf65f6a45fe87ae12beab2a73a6
you'll need to put this in your.extension/hooks/app-init.py
it will turn on minify ui everytime you start revit

@VictorAB94 please do not piggy back on issues. Especially when it is not related.
It is already hard enough to follow everything.
You will find loads of answers on the forum, this one for example:
https://discourse.pyrevitlabs.io/t/open-revit-command-in-my-own-toolbar/1782/14

Look also on Jeremy tammick's blog and in the docs to get a grasp of system postable commands vs external commands

Hi,

With pyRevit-Master moving to Program Files, is there a workaround for the app-init method when the user doesn't have permissions?
