Meu separators

[Anonymous]

When using the menu editor it is sometimes necessary to add a separator bar between menu items - signified by a minus sign in the menu text.

As separators are never used for event purposes the name of the separator is immaterial.

It's a right royal pain in the butt for the user to "invent" a name for a separator item, so whenever the user enters a "-" for menu text would it be possible for FireFly to create a unique name for that menu item, if the separator name is currently blank?

That is not always true. A name for a separator can be useful if you need to show or hide the separator via code. For example, if you have a list of Most Recently Used file items you may want to separate them from the rest of the menu via a separator. If there are no items in the MRU list then you will need to hide the separator.

Agreed. FireFly should be able to determine a suitable default name based on any other separators that may exist in the menu structure.

Good point which I had overlooked.
