Where did you put your *.pro file? It should be in the 'save_add' directory of your ENVI installation path. What version of ENVI are you using and what is your operating system WIndows 7?

Hi, Thank you for your comment. Yes I put my file in save_add. When I run ENVI-IDL I can see my menu, but without IDL my menu is not in ENVI.

What version of ENVI are you using? What is your operating system WIndows 7? How are you adding your function to the menu ? With ENVI_DEFINE_MENU_BUTTON or some other method? Can you copy the code here so I can see what it does?

Hi, As per my understanding, you are using .pro files; in this case you need to open both IDL & ENVI to see your new tool in ENVI. You can generate .sav file and put the same on “save_add” directory; in this case you don’t need to open IDL to see and use your new tools on ENVI. Below is the steps to generate .sav file from .pro code: 1. Reset IDL using the command given below .full_reset_session 2. IDL > Run > Complie 3. Resolve all functions and procedures that are called in the application by typing the following command at the IDL command prompt: RESOLVE_ALL, SKIP_ROUTINES='envi', /CONTINUE_ON_ERROR, /QUIET 4. Create the .sav file by typing the following command at the IDL command prompt: SAVE, /ROUTINES, FILENAME = 'C:\MyTool\MyScriptTool.sav' 5. File > Exit 6. Put the new newly generated .sav file on “save_add” directory Let me know how it goes. Regards, Partha Ghosh

Hi, I did the exact thing that you did, but still I cannot see my menu in ENVI without IDL. So strange.

Maybe you should get in touch with Exelis Technical Support and send them the *.sav file you are using. They also need to know what operating system you are using i.e Windows 7, Mac OS X 10.x.x. They may be able to understand what the problem is.
