Hi,
Maybe I did not understand the change set, so let me tell you what I see: each class
specifies the superclass from which to start building the menu. For example, in your
implementation, MooseEntity says that the menu is built starting from the MooseEntity
downwards.
This might be Ok for your context, but it breaks the original requirement for this menu:
to provide a quick way to get to the default menu (including Inspect which is quite
important during prototyping) for any object from a script like Mondrian or Glamour. This
is why I do not see it working right now.
I believe that what you want is more of an object-specific menu, or even better a browser
specific one. Am I wrong?
Cheers,
Doru

I do not understand why having some hooks methods are the wrong way. To me
having a method without hooks in the top of the hierarchy is not so good.
And this is cheap to get a couple of hooks when they can already solve part of the
problem.
So now I got it we will build our own solution and nuke the default one of Moose.

Hi,
I took a quick look, and I think this is the wrong way to approach the
problem. The default Moose menu relies on a lightweight implementation
that is useful for just that: being a default menu. If you are adding
multiple layers to this mechanism it will become too complex.
If you want to go into customization, than the way to go is to reify
each action as an object and then assembly the menu by putting those
objects together in the menu logic. Basically, you would need to
implement a command hierarchy (like the hierarchy of
MoosePanelCommand).
Cheers,

Hi,
As discussed, I am working on the idea how to customize menus for entities
in Moose Finder. As the menu construction depends on the pragmas defined on
moose entity hierarchy, the idea is to read pragmas in some specific way. We
tried something with Stéphane yesterday and here I am sending you the change
set. Can you please have a look?
The change set does not complete resolve the problem :-). The problem is
that menus are duplicated and changes are still invasive (that is the code
overrides the default moose finder behavior). But this can be a possible
approach to resolve it.
