Pharo Custom Menus
Locked
 
|
One of the things I like about the standard Squeak World menu is the "do..." menu--particularly when paired with "edit this list."
What do you think about having some core functionality for creating your own menu entries in Pharo? Unless, of course, it's already there and I just can't find it!

Yes!!!! I find that very very useful. I put lots of doIts or snippets of code I usually use.

We removed this menu a couple of weeks ago. Many of the menu items did
not work anymore and I just moved the seemingly only useful entry, "Close all debuggers", over to the menu where it belongs to. I never found custom menu items useful because they can't easily be moved between images. Since I often start over from a fresh image adding custom entries to the menu makes no sense. If a lot of people really need this feature, we can put it back. Adrian On Mar 18, 2009, at 13:22 , Mariano Martinez Peck wrote: > Yes!!!! I find that very very useful.

I agree with you Adrian.
However, I would love to see the registration mechanism. If I create a new browser, I would like to see it appear in the menu. Any though about this? I can work on it if some of you agree.

What would be cool is a more convenient menu registration mechanism that gives control over where, when and how a menu item is displayed. I guess method annotations would be a nice solution again. Like this a tool such as "Seaside 2.9 Control Panel" [1] could appear slightly more prominent than it does today. The menu item is currently nested within a sub-sub-menu and that is far from optimal. When people load this extension package, they very likely would also be able to open this tool conveniently. Furthermore such an approach would solve the problem of Rob and Mariano cleanly. They could just bundle their scripts in a special package and register them to appear in a custom sub-menu.

And here is the missing reference of the famous but lost in a deep

Yes, that would be cool. Much more useful than the custom menu editing
since you can store your own menu items in code (rather than as objects in the image).
