hi everyone again,
I've generate a minimal test case for what I'm pretty sure is a bug either
in nautilus or nautilus-python. I will be adding a comment to the following
bug report: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564864
Here is the file. Put it in your ~/.nautilus/python-extensions folder and
then type: nautilus -q && nautilus --no-desktop to run it.
import nautilus
import random
class ExampleProvider(nautilus.MenuProvider):
def __init__(self):
pass
def get_file_items(self, window, files):
menuitems = []
for i in range(0, 5):
identifier = "Test::Item%s" % i
if (random.randint(0, 1) == 1):
menuitems.append(nautilus.MenuItem(identifier, identifier,
""))
print [menuitem.get_property("label") for menuitem in menuitems]
return menuitems
def get_background_items(self, window, files):
pass
This will produce a listing of menu items that appear in a random, incorrect
order.
