I agree now we could do it in a second step. I'm really curious to see alain code integrated. On Mar 19, 2009, at 3:38 PM, Michael Rueger wrote:
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
