Menu XML?

permalink

Me and my friends are developing a menu-search tool [1].
We're looking for a way to access the menu.
Is there a ready xml we can use?
Is it accessible from a plugin?
Or should we generate the xml somehow?

Looks interesting.

Take a look at implementation of HUD[1] in Ubuntu. It uses libdbusmenu
library and access to application menus via DBus. Also MenuModel[2] has
been landed to GTK3... MenuModel is a better option but GIMP is GTK2
only now.

Currently i working on similar menu search but for synapse launcher[3].

Is it possible to integrate the plug-in browser and procedure browser in
the help menu and extend their functionality to accomplish [1]?
Figuring there is already a list of pdb procs and plug-ins *and* a regex
search, we only need to extend the accessibility... maybe change a few
things...?

I'm trying to create a comprehensive view of all the data i need to index
for the menu search tool...
Will indexing the following sufficiently cover the entire menu?

1. List of Plug-ins as in "Plugin Browser"
2. Menu items present in gimp/menus/*.xml

I see that there are many menuitems that are not included the above...

Will indexing procedures be useful?
