159049 - Implement frame-oriented context menus

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Toolbars & Menus, enhancement)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

i know, this was bound to be filed. (couldn't quite find an existing bug for this.)

there really aren't any frame-oriented menus in chimera --either context
(pop-up) or toplevel (from menubar).

if you mouseclick to focus a particular frame (or use [shift]+F6 to focus via
keyboard), i believe you can save the frame (File > Save, cmd+S) rather than the
frameset doc.

the question is, what's the minimal set of frame-oriented menu items for chimera?

bug 158442 seems like a good start: implement context menu item "View only this
frame".

here are some others --again, suggestions/feedback sought.

toplevel
--------
File > Save Frame As
File > Print Frame
(leaving out Edit Frame and Send Frame...could those instead be accessed via
Services somehow?)

context: 1st cut
-------
Show Only This Frame
Open Frame in New Window
Open Frame in New Tab

context: 2nd cut --warning, these'll make the menu really long! perhaps the
menubar items could be dynamically updated to include these in the appropriate
locations when a given frame (not frameset) is in focus? such a possibility
would workaround the flyout menu structure which mozilla uses (and which some
users dislike).
-------
Reload Frame
Bookmark This Frame
Save Frame As
View Frame Source

Added items to Open Frame in New Window, and Open Frame in New Tab to the
context menu (only visible when in a frameset).

I didn't add 'View only this frame' because I wanted to minimize the number of
items, and 'View only this frame' is destructive (replaces existing content).

I don't think we should add frame-related items to the top-level menu.

clarifying summary to reflect the fix. vrfy'd fixed with 2002.11.07.04 on 10.2.1.

Open Frame in New Window and Open Frame in New Tab now appear at the bottom of
the context menu when in framed docs. works fine when context is any of the
following:

* unselected, unlinked content
* selected content
* linked content
* unlinked images
* image links
* n/a for textfields, as expected

verified the changes for image context menus:

* View Image
* Copy Image Location
* Save Image...
* Reload Image removed coz it doesn't do anything (currently doesn't exist in
mozilla anyhow)

also vrfy'd Save Frame As and View Frame Source (see also bug 178783).
