Hi, The plugin fails to start in IDA Version 7. Works perfectly in v6.95.

If you send me an ida copy to test with I will fix it for you...

I can't do that, but I'll try and fix it and share the results if I'm lucky.

@icspe FWIW: This is due to the fact that IDA 7.0 is enforcing the use of the Actions API. It was introduced in IDA 6.7, but still allowed plugin writers to use the old APIs. With the release of 7.0, those old APIs have been fully removed.

Additional details for @mrexodia if this makes his list of things he wants to work on (though I suspect his plate is always full), or to any contributors willing to work on this: http://www.hexblog.com/?p=886

Basically, since IDA 6.7 you aren't supposed to be using the old API add_menu_item, and are instead supposed to define a handler class then properly register it. That blog post has example code on how this is accomplished.

@mrexodia Thanks for this. Worked for me on 7.0.170914 Windows x64.

thank you @pmenke968 for testing it.
My self have tested it with 6.6, 6.8, 6.95, and 7.0 and should not have any conflicts.
