Cannot add/use buttons in PicLayer plug-in

[dhekkir]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Installed PicLayer plug-in
2. Tried using it, managed to import a JPG image as a new layer, but tried to rotate/move it, didn't work
3. Tried clicking on the "double right arrow" on the Edit toolbar (to show the new PicLayer buttons), but I am unable to add them to the Edit toolbar, so the plugin becomes useless.

What is the expected result?

Clicking on a PicLayer button in this "show/hide menu" should make them visible on the Edit toolbar, so that I could use them.

What happens instead?

Nothing, it's as if I hadn't clicked on anything. Clicking on any non-PicLayer button here does the expected: hide it from the toolbar if already shown, otherwise adds it to the toolbar.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

Had a slightly older JOSM, tried updating it, nothing changed. Tried using the Advanced Preferences editor: there are some sidetoolbar.hidden.org.openstreetmap.josm.plugins.piclayer.actions.transform.* entries, some set to true, some set to false, some unset. I tried setting several of them, both to true and to false, but nothing changes, the buttons never show up on the Edit toolbar.

Even when running JOSM with --debug, there are no messages whatsoever related to clicking on the PicLayer buttons to be shown.

Screenshot of the "contextual menu" which should allow me to add PicLayer buttons to the Edit toolbar, but clicking on any of them does nothing; clicking on non-PicLayer buttons works normally.

In fact this bug seems a duplicate of https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/11732.

Sceenshot of buttons in Edit toolbar, only available when the plug-in is installed, but which disappear after closing/restarting JOSM.

Ok, so I think I understood the issue: after loading an image as a new layer, this layer is shown but NOT activated. And all of the PicLayer buttons do NOT work on any other layer. They show up automatically when this new layer is manually set as active, and disappear when another layer is set as active. However, the fact that the buttons still show up and do nothing in the other layers is really unintuitive and, ideally, should be addressed.

I think the plug-in description or somewhere highly visible should indicate this fact, since from the bug reports, I'm not the only user having issues with it.
