I'm working on some custom right click menus. My menu, PARMmenu.xml, is stored in a custom package that I've added to my houdini19.0\packages folder. When I make edits to PARMMenu.xml while the session is running, the changes are not updating. The only way I can get the menu to update is by restarting Houdini.

I thought the Main Menu>Assets>Refresh Assets Libraries might refresh my menu, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Is there anyway to reload my menu without restarting the session?

It's not yet supported when reloading packages, you have to restart Houdini for your changes to take effect.

Wouldn't "hou.ui.reloadPackage" method do that?

Ideally yes, but custom menus are not supported by `hou.ui.reloadPackage`
