digitalmars.D.ide - Visual D - hide the top menu item in non-D projects by default?

Hi! When I open Visual Studio with Visual D installed, it shows Visual D right in the top-level menu, along with File, Edit, View, Debug, etc. While it seems to contain some C++-to-D conversion tools, generally, people won't need the menu in non-D projects. So, it looks kind of unnecessary and intrusive for people using the same IDE for writing C++ code (takes up space and changes the customary layout). Now, the the question is: how can I set the things up so that the Visual D menu item appears only when a D project is active? Currently, I only know how to remove the menu item altogether (via right click -> Customize -> Commands -> Delete), which sadly makes it unavailable for D projects, too. Ivan Kazmenko.

Ivan Kazmenko.I like to use some commands from the Visual D tool set for other languages, too. For example I can't work without "Search file", though the Solution Explorer has something similar, but way too slow and inaccessible. Having "Compile and Run/Debug" available is also useful for small D programs without having to create a project. I understand that having an additional menu entry with multiple extensions can take away too much space, but I don't know a way that you can set things up to make it disappear automatically. I guess that will be the task of Visual D itself. I'll add it to the todo list...

From what you are saying, it may appear helpful here, too.
