Extend plugin "RegisterDocumentAction" with codetypes.

[pmk65]

Currently when a plugin uses "RegisterDocumentAction", a menuitem is added to the Plugins menu.
When no document is open, the menuitem is disabled. When document is open, the menuitem is enabled.

But it would be smarter if you could control in which documents/codetypes the menuitem should be enabled.
Let's say I write a plugin to process only PHP code, then there's no need for the menuitem to be enabled in HTML/CSS code etc.

Current implementation:

Code: Select all

Script.RegisterDocumentAction(<submenu>, <menuitem>, <shortcut>, <function>);

Suggested changes:

Code: Select all

Script.RegisterDocumentAction(<submenu>, <menuitem>, <shortcut>, <codeTypeList>, <function>);

<codeTypeList> could be something like: [ltPHP, ltJScript] to allow plugin in PHP and JavaScript code. Or empty to allow in all codetypes.

Or even better:

Code: Select all

Script.RegisterDocumentAction(<submenu>, <menuitem>, <shortcut>, <iconfile>, <codeTypeList>, <function>);

Where <iconfile> is a path to an icon image for use as menu icon.

I could add an additional signal for when surrounding code (possibly) changes (the same place that disables and enables CSS toolbar actions) which will allow you to enable/disable your actions. Making it exactly the way you want would require some architectural changes that I'd like to avoid.

The code change I posted was just meant as an examples/idea. I just figured it was the most logic place to put it.

How you implement the feature doesn't really matter, just as long as you can enable/disable a plugin at specific code/document types.
And add menu icon(s)
