Hi all,

I am working on dynamic menus in pcb-rnd. It took surprisingly long to get 
it working in gtk because I didn't know about a gtk call I had to use. I 
thought I'd take a note on what I learned there. While doing this I 
decided to start writing a developer log about these at

http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/devlog

It has a summary on how the dynamic menus would work, how to resolve the 
conflict between user customizale menu.res and random plugins adding 
menus anywhere in the menu tree. Another is about my gtk adventure.

I plan to have a few posts there every week as I proceed with the 
"scripting in pcb-rnd" task. Later on some of the text would be copied 
into the documentation. I invite pcb users to comment on those writeups, 
especially the ones that describe how a new feature is going to work. 
Early feedback can steer the project in the right direction.


Regards,

Igor2
