If it's important for uninstalled tools to be not always be visible, maybe what we should do is embed the //content// of the KNewStuff menu in Spectacle rather than exposing the whole thing as a sub-menu. Then we could make a few string changes, and it would be like this in Spectacle:
No apps installed:
Open Screenshots folder
Print...
Install apps to Record screen >
One app installed:
Open Screenshots folder
Print...
----------------------------------
Record screen
Open SimpleScreenRecorder
Install alternatives > Peek
Vokoscreen
All apps installed:
Open Screenshots folder
Print...
----------------------------------
Record screen
Open SimpleScreenRecorder
Open Peek
Open Vokoscreen
This would have the benefit that you could avoid a level of hierarchy for the workflow of actually actually opening an installed screen recording app in Spectacle, but would have the disadvantage that it would involve some additional code changes in Spectacle (and other apps that include the KNewStuff menu as a sub-menu).
