How to move menu entries to the top? #27

Closed hamad12a closed 1 year ago

hamad12a commented 1 year ago

How to popular the context menu options; say I added this context menu "Open in VS Code" I want to move to the top of the context menu, it should be the first appears before the "Open" option.

For a submenu:

Select the submenu
Set its sort mode to "manual" (you'll need to "activate" that option too)

Select the item in Submenu Actions
Use the arrows next to the next to the action type (Command in the image below) to move the item up/down

For items in the main menu, it's essentially the same but there is no Submenu Actions tab involved:

@bassmanitram But this method does not allow moving the option to the top of the context menu When I right-click the context menu appears with the default order; I,e., Open, Open with other Application, Open in new window,...,Open in VS Code, Test all placeholders,...

Then that's a bug! I'll check it out.

bassmanitram commented 1 year ago

Indeed, for submenus this does not work - hopefully I'll get a fix issued today

bassmanitram commented 1 year ago

To be clear, the optional Submenu sorting option should be left unset or be activated and set to manual in order for the ordering represented in the config UI to be replicated in the actual generated menu structure.

Fixed in Release 1.5.1

@bassmanitram Not sure if you understood my issue

OK, well what I THOUGHT you wanted actually exposed a bug that the PR attached to this issue fixed. Now I think I understand that you want the item right at the top of the context menu - and, as it stands, it can't be done.

If you create a new issue asking for that as a new feature, then we can track it separately - BUT it is not going to be a priority feature (and, as I say, it can't be done using the current frameworks).

However, I notice that you have forked the project - so feel free to investigate yourself and submit a PR if you manage to solve it.
