The window (a little one) just need to have a list box with the registered options, each option containing an icons, a label, for start. And a 'Ok', and 'Cancel' button. Maybe a main label explaining the purpose of the window. ----------------------------- |Choose the destination: | | --------------------------- | | | Bluetooth device |^|| | | Printer... | || | | E-mail attachement... | || | | Gaim Transfer... |v|| | --------------------------- | | | |[ ] Set as default action | | | | ______ ______ | | |Cancel| | OK | | '-----------------------------' * Sorry for the ASCII art! :) And in the context menu we just have a 'Send to...' entry, which opens the above referred window. The same could happen with de 'Open with...' menu entry, and related multipurpose entries. In fact, each choose window could have a 'set as default action' checkbox or something like that. Each item in the list could reference a Bonobo component for example. Or each item could be handled by a simple callback function, with the file selection as parameters. As a guide(-line) the window could be standardized, the application register the new item in the list box. Avoiding windows with tricky interface and selections. It is just an idea. Take care. -- ------------------------------ Adriano Del Vigna de Almeida <adriano dot delvigna at freedows dot com> Freedows Consortium - Brasil
