System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GT 730/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 442.50

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.90 (sub 4), branch: master, commit date: 2020-05-27 18:04, hash: blender/blender@d7282537f0
Worked: (not sure, I think 2.8)

Short description of error
Simplify F-Curves addon not showing up in graph editor{F8559027}

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
[Please describe the exact steps needed to reproduce the issue]
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

please see this page:
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/addons/add_curve/simplify_curves.html
where it says:
"The Simplify F-Curves buttons are located in the Dope Sheet ‣ Action ‣ Graph Editors ‣ Channel menu."

I enabled the addon:
Add Curve: Simplify Curves+

Then animate cube for 100 frames or so
select the cube
check graph editor
notice in the channel menu that the expected
Simplify F-Curves
does not appear channel menu (or anywhere else I think)

Just wanted to let you know.
Maybe I missed something, or the addon not compatible with Blender 2.9 yet?
Thanks for taking a look.

Can confirm with Blender 2.83 blender/blender@79e529c5ec (2020-05-27 16:03) and 2.90 blender/blender@d7282537f0 (2020-05-27 18:04). The "Simplify F-Curves" buttons seem to have been removed from any menus.

I would update the documentation to reflect this, but with 2.90 ,add-ons are supposed to expose all buttons through menus, I believe it is better to get the add-on changed rather than update the manual.

@frew, in the meantime while you wait for this to be fixed, you can find the "Simplify F-Curves" option by following these steps:

  1. Select from the top of Blender Edit -> Preferences
  2. In the Interface tab enabled Developer Extras.
  3. Now you should be able to find the Simplify F-Curves option in the search menu. To use it, select a curve then press F3 and type in Simplify F-Curves.

Oh cool, thanks, I did not know about that Developers Extras trick to use for now.
Much appreciated, yes that works.
Thanks again!

It has been removed on purpose b2b2c2b8c1, to fix #71656 (Simplify F-Curves can't be executed from Graph Editor->Channels menu) (we dont have the REDO HUD in these editors yet)
So not really a bug, but keeping open until the docs have been updated.

@cwolf3d : Could you update https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/addons/add_curve/simplify_curves.html?
