Well, I tried setting the priority on Cut and Copy and suddenly they appeared at the top of the Edit menu. >> I'm happy to patch the behavior (and revert back to Avogadro v1 strategy of >> each plugin providing an ordered list).

OK, but I guess I'm not clear on why the extension can't provide the menu items in a particular order - either through priorities or by providing an ordered list? > The menus need to be tidied, and maybe the menu ordering code needs > some refinement, but I would like to keep the additional flexibility. Agreed. I think the main issue is that I tried to do "tidying" and it didn’t' seem possible to do what I wanted. At the moment, it seems like very few menu items have priorities set. -Geoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Avogadro-devel mailing list Avogadro-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/avogadro-devel
