Re: [platform-ui-dev] [CN] Updates for the Common Navigator in Platform

[Nick Edgar <Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would call it "navigatorViewer" (with some properties) instead of 
"viewerProperties".  For duplicates, we generally let the first one 
encountered "win", and log errors about the others (we actively check).
Kim, please correct me if this is wrong, or if there have been recent 
changes in this strategy to support dynamic plug-ins (i.e. the algorithm 
above is lossy in the presence of removals).

Michael Valenta made a similar suggestion. I hadn't formalized it as a
"viewerProperties" extension, but I think this could make sense.

How should we handle the case where multiple viewerProperties extensions
are defined ? Error?

Michael,

For point (4), the popup menu id is currently declared as part of the
<viewerContentBinding> element.  Since there can be multiple such bindings
for a given viewer instance, it seems like it would be possible to declare
multiple menu ids, which is probably not what we want.  It seems like we
want separate elements: <viewer> for declaring the viewer and properties
on it, like the menu id, and <viewerContentBinding> for associating
content extensions with the viewer.

Nick
