True, at the moment, we need Alt=>Tools=>Pencil Sketching... to launch it. My suggestion would be to have the same 'Pencil Sketching' item in the 'hamburger' menu under the 'Developer' tab (because I think that's possibly the only place where add-ons can add items). Thanks! :-)
Actually, this should be fixed since #671. Do you not see the Pencil Sketching icon under the Customize menu?
Thanks @prikhi - you are right, Pencil is not in the hamburger menu by default but can be added by customizing the menu. Would be great if we could make it more obvious to users how to launch Pencil after installation. The current requirement of using Alt=>Tools=>Pencil Sketching or customizing the hamburger menu is not optimal. That said, I'm not certain what flexibility we have to add it by default or elsewhere.
Another possibility would be to open a new tab after initial installation that displays basic instructions, such as how to launch Pencil. I know other plugins do that (i.e. open a website after plugin installation or update), but I don't know how they do it.
Thanks for the great plugin! :-) -- Alex
