Hello
I install the new beta 10 version, and the tools menu is not yet configurable. ( I test all the versions from 4)
Best regards
Pascal

This is expected. The custom tools capability has not been implemented. This deficiency is being tracked by the developers here:
opened 11:42PM - 12 Feb 21 UTC
topic: code
type: imperfection
criticality: high
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like to propose support for extern… al tools / plugins which are compatible with Arduino IDE. Ex. https://github.com/me-no-dev/arduino-esp32fs-plugin or https://github.com/me-no-dev/EspExceptionDecoder
If it is already supported, how can I use tools in Pro IDE?
If it is not supported yet, are there any plans for implementing that?
### Describe the problem
There is no support for extending the capabilities of Arduino IDE via external tools/plugins. This is a feature parity mismatch with Arduino IDE 1.x.
### To reproduce
1. Follow the instructions to install the "Arduino Pico LittleFS Filesystem Uploader" plugin:
https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico-littlefs-plugin#installation
1. Start Arduino IDE 2.x
1. Open the **Tools** menu.
🐛 The expected "**Pico LittleFS Data Upload**" menu item is missing.
### Expected behavior
Support for extending the capabilities of Arduino IDE via external tools/plugins equivalent to the system provided by Arduino IDE 1.x.

### Issue checklist
- [X] I searched for previous reports in [the issue tracker](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues?q=)
- [X] I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest [nightly build](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software#nightly-builds)
- [X] My report contains all necessary details
There is no announcement of which version will have this. For now, you should use the classic Arduino IDE when you require this capability.
