Call for attention - context handlers and validation procs

Are you saying that each and every plugin is "polled" each time you wish to do something whether you "invoke" that/those plugins or not? If so, is that efficient? Keep in mind I don't know the terminology, and I certainly don't fully understand.

Not every plugin, but when a plugin want to add a context menu a function is run - and if the plugin tried to evaluate the whole selection or do any processor expensive calculations in this function it'll delay the context menu.

Ok, that makes some sense, thanks. Evidently, the context menu is lower in priority?

not really... the context menu is "built on the fly"...
The menu needs to know what items and submenus it will need to display. It cannot know what they will be until Sketchup processes all the context_menu_handlers.
