Re: [platform-ui-dev] Request for new Global Action on the Edit menu
|
I disagree. A change to a pulldown menu is never visible to the user,
unless they go looking for changes.
On a context menu it's not so bad, because they expect it to change
depending on the context.
Note that other teams have not had a chance to move to the new menu
structure yet, so you will see some inconsistencies.
The Team Team (and/or VCM providers) may decide to do contribute to the
main menus as well.

I guess that explains why the Team Synchonize View doesn't use the Menu at
all.
You don't think that the Synchronize View is essentially an embedded tool?
And should be able to contribute Menu Items like "Next Change", "Copy
Right
To Left", and "Refresh"?
Views seem to fall under 3 categories.
1) They are part of the Editor (Outline & PropertySheet).
2) They Open more Editors (ResourceNavigator, Packages, Project, Elements,
Members, Hierarchy)
3) They do their own thing.
I agree that #1 and #2 should not cause dynamic menu changes, but #3 is
different.

Currently actionSetPartAssociations show the action set when the view is
opened, not when activated.
For editors, the action set is shown when the editor is frontmost.
Dynamic main menus are generally to be avoided, since the changes are not
visible to users.
This approach makes them more stable: the menus won't change their
contents (only enablement) when switching between views and the editor,
and when switching between editors of the same type. They may change when
opening/closing views and editors, or when switching between editors of
different types.
