Adding actions to OmniBrowser menu

What is the simplest way to add an action to the menu for the classes
column in OmniBrowser?

Thanks,
Chad

There isn't a simple way at the moment. You'd have to modify
OBClassNode>>actions to make it include your new action in the array.
This isn't that hard, but it means you have to use a fork of OB, or
get your action added to the mainline version.

I'm working on fixing this problem; the next version of OB will have
a much more extensible, services-like architecture.

do you imply based on services :) ?
Because it would be nice if we could remove abstractions that are
duplicated.

No, not based on the services used in 3.9. I tried doing that, but I
found that I couldn't implement services that would work properly
regardless of the metagraph used by the browser. Then I tried
extending services, but the complexity got out of hand pretty
quickly. So I ended up creating a simple OmniBrowser-specific version
of services, which will be much easier to deal with. I'm now
converting the existing actions into OB services.

so may be services could then be improved. I mean having two clients
is always better for stressing the system.
Could you give some feedback to romain?

Colin, where do you have your working repository?

Too bad you want to keep compatibility with 3.8 because pragmas were a
very good solution (implemented with Alexandre Bergel in OB and it just
worked). Keep working Colin, OB is very good.

Actually, this is the old repository. I've left it up so that
SqueakMap will continue to work, but I should probably take it down
and update SM.

The repository is now here:

http://source.wiresong.ca/ob

Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah, this is what I suspected. The other repository was too quiet to
be the current one ;-)

Thanks,
Lukas

Does this address work for everybody but me ? I can't made it
work neither with OmniBrowser nor with a webbrowser and
neither at home nor in school.

Apache seems to have crashed during night. Bizarre. Should be ok now.

Again ? I can't access the repository anymore.
