Chip: Understood. I was searching on "preferences" and "preferences menu item" but came up empty handed.
There weren't any changes needed for this app in the area of standard actions (except for Preferences, of course) but the idea of not including a mention of "Preferences" is head-thuddingly frustrating. Perhaps some tech support person will do a knowledge base entry on this. -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 On Wed, Aug 15, 2018 at 2:00 PM Chip Scheide <4d_o...@pghrepository.org> wrote: > using Preview searched for (literal) > "standard Action" > ** quotes included > > On Wed, 15 Aug 2018 13:55:15 -0700, Douglas von Roeder wrote: > > Chip: > > > > I do appreciate you taking the time to research that. > > > > -- > > Douglas von Roeder > > 949-336-2902 > > > > > > On Wed, Aug 15, 2018 at 1:38 PM Chip Scheide <4d_o...@pghrepository.org> > > wrote: > > > >> no idea :) > >> > >> I just checked a system I had open which uses both of these features. > >> > >> I looked for you :) > >> v13 language reference - references to 'standard actions': > >> Page 603 - Standard actions and methods associated with menu commands > >> Page 629 - Set menu bar > >> Page 635 - SET MENU ITEM PROPERTY > >> Page 1704 - Value for Associated Standard Action (Konstants) > >> > >> > >> On Wed, 15 Aug 2018 13:13:14 -0700, Douglas von Roeder wrote: > >>> Chip: > >>> > >>> Well whaddya know!
