hi all,
I'm working on the NautilusSvn python extension (
http://code.google.com/p/nautilussvn) and have an issue with our context
menus.
We set up our context menus by defining a list of items, each having a
condition method. When the get_file_items and get_background_items are
called, we call a third method that constructs the menu and returns it to
the first two methods. The construction method works like this...
menu_definition = [
{
"identifier": "NautilusSvn::Commit",
....,
"condition": self.condition_commit
},
...
]
menu = []
for item in menu_definition:
if item["condition"]():
menu.append(item)
return menu
So if the condition method returns True, the menu item is added, if False it
is not added.
This seems to work, except for one problem. When the context menu is drawn,
the menu items are sometimes in a seemingly random order. So if our menu
list is like this: ['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3'], it will show up in the
context menu like so: ['Item 3', 'Item 2', 'Item 1']. Just to see if we
could narrow it down somewhat, we changed the line "if item["condition"]():"
to "if True:". When we did this, the menu items all showed up in the
correct order. I also tried printing out the menu list just prior to
returning it, and it always shows the correct ordering.
It seems that there may be something going on with Nautilus or the
nautilus-python extension that is causing this mis-ordering. But I'm not
sure. I'm hoping there may be some gurus on this list that may be able to
provide an insight or help.
Thanks!
