Confusing menu handling

Francois Dauberlieu

I'm confused with the menu handling in a Smartview plugin (generated with the SDK).

Here is my config:

in my ..\src\main\resources\xml\unitymenu\MenuContextDelta.xml file, I added:

<insert position-before="menuToolsMassUpdate">

	<menuitem id="myMenu" src="MyMenu" label="My Menu" />

</insert>

Then I created ..\src\main\resources\xml\unitymenu\MyMenu.xml with

<menu>

	<menuitem id="****" label="Action 1">

		<dynamic-action class="com.emc.d2fs.dctm.ui.dynamicactions.actions.U4ShowDialog" dialog="Dummy" />

	</menuitem>

	<separator />

	<menuitem id="yyy" label="Action 2">

		<dynamic-action class="com.emc.d2fs.dctm.ui.dynamicactions.actions.U4ShowDialog" dialog="Dummy" />

	</menuitem>

</menu>

In Smartview, in the context menu, I'd expect to see

However, I get:

Where Action 1 becomes a menu instead of launching the action

The only way I can get the expected (at least by me) result is to insert (Before the forst action otherwise it becomes an action and Action 1 is still a menu)

<menuitem id="myMenu" label="My Menu">

	<dynamic-action class="com.emc.d2fs.dctm.ui.dynamicactions.actions.U4ShowDialog" dialog="Dummy" />

</menuitem>

My final XML looks like and it behaves the way I'd expect

<menu>

	<menuitem id="myMenu" label="My Menu">

		<dynamic-action class="com.emc.d2fs.dctm.ui.dynamicactions.actions.U4ShowDialog" dialog="Dummy" />

	</menuitem>

	<menuitem id="****" label="Action 1">

		<dynamic-action class="com.emc.d2fs.dctm.ui.dynamicactions.actions.U4ShowDialog" dialog="Dummy" />

	</menuitem>

	<separator />

	<menuitem id="yyy" label="Action 2">

		<dynamic-action class="com.emc.d2fs.dctm.ui.dynamicactions.actions.U4ShowDialog" dialog="Dummy" />

	</menuitem>

</menu>
