Default Context Menu Customisation

SYD_UK

Is it possible to modify (add to) the default main context menu (upon right click). It would be usful to have some basic edit commands selectable from this after a right click is invoked, instead of having to select a toolbar for instance.

i think its possible through ruby (and if it is it certainly wouldnt be very hard.) I havent done it myself though, so i'll wait for someone who knows what theyre doing to explain the process.

Many tools are context specific and only use that menu to run from.

For a tour de force of adding commands see my [old] ContextMenuMenus.rb which adds all [now=most?] of the available send action tools to the context menu in sub-menus... it's attached...ContextMenuMenus.rb

Thanks TIG, it works great.
I have abridged the script to display just a shortened Tools
section on the cascade menu from the context menu directly.
Incidentally how would you position this new menu item at the
top of the context menu?

Kind Regards

You can't place a custom menu above the standard ones, BUT to get it as near as possible to the top of the custom list you can give the rb file a name that loads before the others [they load alphanumerically] - so for example ###myscript.rb will load ahead of any others...
