Hello,
I tried to create the menu file
(~/GNUstep/Defaults/UserMenus/xcalc.XCalc.menu) with the contents
included in the NEWS file. I am unable to use the menu. IMO the call
is wrong, because is set in the wSetFocusTo function and in a place
probably unreacheable. Could someone try to show the menu?
I will think about it, perhalps is a good idea have this menu...
OTOH, the usermenu is not compiled in Debian/Ubuntu by default.
I have tried to configure it for xlogo.XLogo.menu and I don't see
any menu (unfortunately).
Maybe there is some keyboard shortcut which need to be used to activate
it? Or maybe some other way to activate it?
Hi,
I found one problem, the path was wrong in the code (or in the doc,
IMO, in the code).
Then, I added the menu map when the window is created. Probably could
be a good idea create a menu entry to show/hide the menu.
Ok, now we can test it.
Cheers,
kix
