I was talking of the "Open With" window, not the contextual menu.
For Open With contextual menu, when several versions of the same App
signature exists, what showing them in a "version" submenu:
Open with... >
MediaConverter >
/boot/system/apps/MediaConverter
/Data/projects/haiku/trunk/generated.gcc2/.../MediaConverter
/Data/projects/haiku/trunk/generated.gcc4/.../MediaConverter
Media Player >
/boot/system/apps/MediaPlayer
/Data/projects/haiku/trunk/generated.gcc2/.../MediaPlayer
/Data/projects/haiku/trunk/generated.gcc4/.../MediaPlayer
VLC Media Player
-----------------------------
DiskProbe
FileTypes
Tracker
ZipOMatic-Z
That way, the first menu level will not anymore show these highly
truncated paths which make in the end even harder to choose one, while
the "version" submenu will show the full path ideally (like Deskbar
show the full window title, except in Expander mode).
An issue to solve, though, is which version should be the default one
when the user just select MediaConverter item, not an explicit
version. This will also impact the sort order in the "version"
submenu. System apps should come first, I guess, then /boot volume
ones, but it's not easy to find the best default version...
Bye,
Philippe.
