hi,
I wanna edit my GIMP's context menu. Now the context menu is as seems as the menu bar. I wanna use my customized context menu to replace the original one. I found some clue in
app/widgets/gimpuimanager.c:573
which say:
void
gimp_ui_manager_ui_popup (GimpUIManager *manager, const gchar *ui_path, GtkWidget *parent, GimpMenuPositionFunc position_func, gpointer position_data, GDestroyNotify popdown_func, gpointer popdown_data)

but how to do next? thx!!

Hi,

edit menus/image-menu.xml.in, there is no need to change anything in the source.

Are you familiar with GTK+? If not, please read the documentation and tutorials before you ask here. We can certainly help you with GIMP specific questions, but I get the impression that you are lacking some fundamental GTK+ knowledge that is absolutely essential for what you are trying to achieve.

If you want to do this for your new tool, you might benefit from looking at gimptexttool.c --
the function gimp_text_tool_get_popup is what sets up the context menu for the text
tool. It is invoked in the gimp_text_tool_class_init function, in the line that reads

tool_class->get_popup = gimp_text_tool_get_popup;

The code is pretty hard to understand without deep knowledge of the Gtk menu system,
though.

The actual contents of the context menu are where Mitch pointed you.

hi,
Maybe my poor english made you confused about my task? I have some knowledge on gtk+. My task is to response the right-click message on canvas. Is this clear? The original responding is to popup a menu which as same as the menubar. I wanna modify it. For example, to popup a message box or new window and so on.

It isn't as bad as it looks. The im_menu stuff all relates to a special submenu, and
you can discard it. The rest you can replicate as is (with the obvious changes).

Here is a quick summary of how to create a context menu for a tool:

1) Create a get_popup handler similar to gimp_text_tool_get_popup.

2) Create menu actions by creating a file similar to app/actions/text-tool-actions.c.

3) Create menu commands by creating a file similar to app/actions/text-tool-commands.c.

4) Define the menu structure by creating a file similar to menus/text-tool-menu.xml.

It should be possible to do most of this without a very deep understanding of the code.
