Put "Publish to..." into "File" menu

[Michal Predotka]

IMO it'd be better if menu entry "Publish to" was in "File" menu. Now it's in "Image" menu in GIMP.

It was originally in the File menu but I moved it because it looked awful and got in the way of the Quit menu, which is a bad sign.

It's fairly easy to modify the code in the gimp plugin directory and put it in the File menu and see and ponder the design of it.

For now I'm marking the bug as invalid because while I do agree that it _should_ be in the File menu, there is currently no way to put it there that doesn't break UI design rules.

You mean there's no way to put it somewhere in the "save" section of "file" menu? That's a shame. :(
BTW what about making it just one entry in menu: "Publish to dA" not "Publish to->deviantArt Stash". Is this another technical problem?

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

That's not a technical decision, that's a cultural/social one, basically putting the entry into a sub menu invites other developers to consider what else should be in there, like flickr, facebook, other other art sites.

I'm not sure about the save dialog, if you find out how to do it, let me know.

[Michal Predotka (mpredotka)]

OK. Thanks for bearing with me. :)
In order to put this menu entry in the "save" section you have to change "deviantart-plugin.py" file. Instead of:
menu=("<Image>/Image/Pu_blish to")
should be:
menu=("<Image>/File/Save/Pu_blish to")

See screenshot attached (it's in Polish though).

OK i've committed your patch, thank you very much mmiicc!

[Michal Predotka (mpredotka)]

Thanks Martin. :)
