nautilus extensions should be able to created grouped menu items
Last modified: 2005-05-16 20:34:56 UTC
Should be possible to have a MenuItem with subitems, mainly to group operations. Use-case: - Group similar operations under a single menu entry as not to bloat the context menu Example: - For anyone that used TortoiseSVN, when you right-click a file inside a directory that was checked out from SVN, you get a menu like: - SVN Add - SVN Commit - SVN Operations \- Remove \- Check for Modifications \- Preferences \- ... If all the entries were top-level, the menu could easily end up with 30 menu entries, no matter how smart your extension is to hide non-meaningful operations. There are other cases where this would be useful: A Zip menu, like WinZip, but using file-roller: - Zip (some better name?) \- Add to existing archive \- Zip & Email \- Unzip to current folder \- Unzip to <dirname> A virus scanner menu: - Virus Scanner \- Check for viruses \- Clean viruses \- Quarantine A Send-To menu: - Send-To \- Email Recipient \- My Images Folder \- <folderish-target bookmarks from nautilus> \- Gaim Recipient 'campd' mentioned on #nautilus that now that the ui manager is being used, doing this should be fairly simple.
