Don't Be Over-Redundant

Of course, more is better. I agree totally with goonz.

In Evo, to access the context menu of a resource, it is helpful to have the alternative to click the icon left to it. Because a right click event in Windows 7 obviously is handled also by Windows: The context menu of the resource will be overlapped by the context menu of Windows. (If there is some Win 7 expert reading this, may be she/he knows how to break Windows this behavior.)

But there is a problem with Revo. A click to the icons left to a resource will no longer open the context menu, but open it for editing. Is there any way to get this useful context menu back in Revo?

I just learned you can click the icon before a resource title to open the context menu.

After using it for way over two years.

Thanks. lol


I guess that just as much confirms there’s a need for different approaches, because I possibly would’ve dropped MODX if there was no alternative to clicking on the icon before the resource title to do specific stuff.

Isnt that normal tree behavior?

How else can it be expanded?

Not sure that building sites for 2 years without a feature proves you need that feature.

I agree software should not deprive advanced users of flexibility. I did not title this thread "don’t be redundant; I titled "don’t be OVER-redundant".

Sometimes. Not always. Very often I try to hold by the less is more maxim. I was simply saying that more != better is not a blanket, always true statement.

I didn’t mean clicking the plus sign to expand it, but clicking the icon (left click) to show the context menu.

Are you talking Evo? I still don’t understand your meaning, but I’m in Revolution.

Yeah, that was about Evolution.

In Revo there’s no such feature

Back to my remarks above (post #11):

a right click event in Windows 7 obviously is handled also by Windows: The context menu of the resource will be overlapped by the context menu of Windows.

It is, of course, not the context menu of Windows but the one of Firefox. And I now found a way to prevent this disturbing behaviour:

In Firefox go to [tt]Tools > Options > Content[/tt] , and in the line [tt]Enable Javascript[/tt] click the button [tt]Advanced[/tt] .
There tick the option [tt]Disable or replace context menus [/tt] - and all is fine.
