Describe the feature you’d like
Currently the following components have hardcoded initialisation of their otherOperations arrays:
- GalleryList
- GalleryAddPanel
- GalleryImagesPanel
- GroupList
- GroupSubGroupsPane
- ImageList
- PerformerList
- SceneList
- SceneMarkerList
- StudioList
- TagList
These arrays are used to populate the menu items hidden behind the … button.
I view this menu as a perfect place to allow plugins to add their own operations, without invasive additions to the page. Therefore, I propose that after the hardcoded initialisation of these arrays, these components should call a patchable function to allow plugins to mutate the arrays.
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing users
- Make it substantially easier for plugin developers to provide buttons which run custom functionality
- Reduced risk of conflicts between plugins that add custom UI
- A more consistent interface for users with plugins installed
Is there an existing way to achieve this goal?
Yes, I have already extended this menu in my Group Management plugin. But doing so required a disgusting hack that will probably break in future versions of Stash.
Adding a patchable function for this would make this much less fragile.
