Please add option to hide the "Get Software" menu.

Please add a key/value pair to hide the "MenuGetSoftware" option.

Something like...

<key>HideSoftware</key>
<integer>1</integer>

(This behavior would be similar to the exisiting "HideHelp", "HideRenew" and "HidePrefs" options).

Back-story: I'm in a situation in which I (eventually) want to display my Jamf Self Service app in NoMAD at some point in the future, but currrently my Jamf app is not "ready for prime time" and thus I don't want to promote it as a valid software repository in the macOS menu bar. So I'd like to completely hide this option for a while.

Submitted per Slack discussion.

Thanks Joel

changed milestone to %Barzona

perfectly reasonable request.

added Ready for Testing label

defaults write com.trusourcelabs.NoMAD HideGetHelp 1 on NoMAD 1.0.5(626) or later.

I think @Mactroll meant HideGetSoftware, not HideGetHelp. Confirmed that enabling this pref completely hides the menu item.

Will this behavior of completely hiding certain menu items be coming to other preferences. IIRC most of the hide prefs simply grey out the option.

Most menus are hidden, but there are a few that have option and control-option alternates. Those are harder to hide so they're greyed out. Something for v. 2.0.

defaults write com.trusourcelabs.NoMAD HideGetSoftware 1 on 1.0.5(650) or later.
