Re: [gedit-list] plugin developement - how to edit a panels toolbar?

[Rodrigo Lopes <rodvlopes gmail com>]

I am trying to recreate a functionallity from the Eclise IDE. The
functionallity is basically to highlight the file which is being
edited in the file browser pane, while the button is checked.

It is prefered to have the icon (button) on the toolbar like Eclise IDE.
If is not possible to edit the file browser panel menu toolbar I could
try to compile a custom version.

Thank you

What we could do is expose this similarly to how you can extend the context menu of the file browser widget, namely using the message bus API. Then you could add/remove toolbar buttons. What do you want to use this for? Is it possible that you could the same with putting new items in the context menu (which is preferable)?
