[Bf-python] Re: Presets - mail I sent a week or so ago

[Ted Schundler]

I got the message OK. And as for your problem with the updates, it's a
little weird that it's running the script asyncronously, but I'm not
all that familiar with how Blenders works with python.
I'd imagine perhaps the simplest solution would be to setup a python
function to refresh menus. So any script (preset export, theme export,
whatever someone thinks of next) can trigger a menu update when
applicable via Blender.UpdateMenus() or some similarly named call.

For example, in source/blender/python/api2_2x/Blender.c:

Put the code to update the menus in there, then call that from your
python script.
