Hi all,
in light of recent discussions about preferences/settings and menu
registration I would like a favorite issue I have with all automagic
mechanisms: how to customize them.
For sake of argument imagine loading a vastly enhanced (bloated ;-) )
version of my Yaxo XML package, having setting pragmas or menu
registration adding "try to parse as xml", "pretty print to xml" or
other "useful" items to menus and a couple of equally useful settings to
the settings.
If I now want to not have these items show up in my menus or in the
settings editor, how do I do this without editing code, thus creating a
fork of the package?
In Sophie the content of menus was explicitly configured (not in a nice
way, but nevertheless) in a preference/external xml file.
Basically what I am suggesting is that regardless of how the automagic
registration works, there needs to be a way to override it somewhere,
preferably through some setting entries.
Comments? Ideas? Suggestions?
Michael
