Infrastructure for plugins (including Lua-based ones) to add their own menus

Hi folks, In a previous email I raised the issue of givin Lua plugins the ability to declare their own menus, not just menu items on existing menus. Indeed, I would like to go further and to expose facilities for plugins to add items to other places, like the Filter bar and the popup menus. However, one additional discussion that I think it is important to have has occurred to me. It seems to me that there are two approaches that can be taken with respect to allowing plugins to add menus: 1. A free-for-all, where each plugin can establish its own menu. This keeps each plugin separate, but could get a bit ugly. 2. A single menu for plugins, with each plugin getting its own section. Each of these would require different infrastructure ... Currently, as well, the infrastructure seems focused around Lua, but it might be useful to make it more generic. -- Regards, Richard Sharpe (何以解憂?唯有杜康。--曹操) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
