Description

The ThunarActionManager class manages the creation and execution of menu-item which are used by multiple menus. The management is done in a central way to prevent code duplication on various places. XfceGtkActionEntry is used in order to define a list of the managed items and ease the setup of single items.

ThunarActionManager implements the ThunarNavigator interface in order to use the "open in new tab" and "change directory" service. It as well tracks the current directory via ThunarNavigator.

ThunarActionManager implements the ThunarComponent interface in order to track the currently selected files. Based on to the current selection (and some other criteria), some menu items will not be shown, or will be insensitive.

Files which are opened via ThunarActionManager are poked first in order to e.g do missing mount operations.

As well menu-item related services, like activation of selected files and opening tabs/new windows, are provided by ThunarActionManager.

It is required to keep an instance of ThunarActionManager open, in order to listen to accellerators which target menu-items managed by ThunarActionManager. Typically a single instance of ThunarActionManager is provided by each ThunarWindow.
