With Alco Blom's help this is looking very possible (read I have a build with it but it's not ready for prime time). Logging a bug so it actually shows up on radar.

Add similar support to the Mc OS builds of Mozilla. This should _not_ be Chimera specific. It will be wanted in any Mac OS port of mozilla including Netscape and also Mozilla itself.

See also bug 56589 (Mozilla equivalent). Reassigning to Toolbars & Menus.

I think sdagley is working on this bug; if not, you can reassign back to me -->sdagley

Yep, I am working on it. Looks like Greg did the old reassign to default owner when he moved it to Toolbars & Menus

This is going to require Alco's shared menu framework at: ftp://ftp.url-manager.com/pub/SharedMenusCocoa.sit.bin

With the SharedMenusCocoa.framework from <ftp://ftp.url-manager.com/pub/SharedMenusCocoa.sit.bin> installed in /Library/Frameworks this patch will enable shared menu support in Chimera. Or so I think as it seems to have FSRefs as references to the files and those aren't portable. Not that I'm sure as this is my first patch to the Chimera PB file. Posting so others can try and see if it actually builds on another machine.

Expanding my potential testing base

Forgot to use -U 4 to include context for the previous patch

+ // Initialize shared menu support + mSharedMenusObj = [SharedMenusObj alloc]; + if (mSharedMenusObj) + [mSharedMenusObj init]; The usual way is mSharedMenusObj = [[SharedMenusObj alloc] init]; + // Terminate shared menus + if (mSharedMenusObj) { + [mSharedMenusObj dealloc]; + mSharedMenusObj = nil; + } This should be [[mSharedMenusObj release];

Revised patch per sfraser's suggestions and Alco has posted a new (usable) version of the framework although it still has duplicate versions. He should rectify that on Wednesday (10/24). Can someone verify and land this please?

With the release of Url Manager Pro 3.0.1 late last month, it would be really nice to see this patch landed.
