support for auto-detection of other extension panel items
Opened this issue · 5 comments
Using clipboard extension & donno how to add it into hot corners menu. Lil bit of help would be appreciated. Already asked this there btw.
If I had to guess, you need to do something like this
but with our indicator name: https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/gnome-clipboard-history/blob/9a5bdefd240b9a7ff3311bde6a2c8995c26898fa/extension.js#L1267If I had to guess, you need to do something like this

I believe there's lot more coding required than that. There must be some way to detect if there are any other panel elements added via other extentions. And then show up / update them in the menu list of hot-corners. @G-dH ?
The auto-detection is complicated because prefs code has no access to the shell, so the information must be collected by the extension which has to make that data accessible to the prefs. Then prefs needs to store the action for a trigger with additional parameter identifying the panel button. Not worth the effort for me..
Is it possible to write auto-detection as a node.js backend ? With something like child process exec ?
You need to run the code inside the Shell, as an extension, to have access to the internals of the panel.
