Here is another LC wish list for practical reasons:
I with that the menu item format for "regular" (pulldown/menubar) menus of:
[<flags>] <label> ['/' <accelerator> ['|' <tag>]] -- with the caveat
that to have a <tag> with out an <accelerator>, you just use /|<tag>
[NOTE: This syntax is listed in the Dictionary under the "Menu" (keyword)]
Would work with other menu types, like OPTION menus (as 1 example)
I have several option menus with some long text for each options, for
example:
All References to one media file
All References for each Case to a media file per Case
All References for each Source to a media file per Source
All References for each Code to a media file per Code
All References for each Code for each Source to a separate media file
All References for each Code for each Case to a separate media file
Each Reference to a individual media file
I would LOVE to be able to use <tags>s for internationalization (and
simplicity), for example:
All References to one media file/|all
All References for each Case to a media file per Case/|case
All References for each Source to a media file per Source/|source
All References for each Code to a media file per Code/|code
All References for each Code for each Source to a separate media
file/|codeSource
All References for each Code for each Case to a separate media
file/|codeCase
Each Reference to a individual media file/|individual
This way my menuPick handler could look like:
on menuPick pChosenItem, pPreviousTab
switch pChosenItem
case "all"
-- do stuff for the 1st option
break
case "case"
-- do stuff for the 2nd option
break
case "source"
-- do stuff for the 3rd option
break
-- etc
end switch
And if I need to change the text of the OPTION menu items, say to
another language for internationalization, I do not have to change my on
menuPick handler as well. Every button of type menu that is handled by a
menuPick handler, should support <tags> for ease of internationalization.
Unfortunately, <tags> do not work in Option menus (I have not tested any
other non-menubar menu types)
end menuPick
