Hello,
I want to change the behavior of the command "Save as Image File" in the
context menu of my diagram in this way: Give the default file name based
on a feature of my diagrams model element. I can not find the extension
point of this context menu, where can I find it? Is this extension part
of the generated code?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hi Cherie,
I can only find the extension point
" org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.contributi onItemProviders ".
Is this the correct extension?

Hi Cherie,
I could not find any example code which could help for my problem. I
have only one extension point
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.contributi onItemProviders
in my plugin.xml which makes a popup contribution for a special diagram
element. You wrote I should remove the default "CopyToImageAction"
contribution. The following questions arise when trying to do this:
Where can I find the correct ID of this contribution?
What is the path to this contribution?
Are the default contributions documented in the GMF reference documentation?
Is it possible to start without any default contributions?
Please give me a hint for a good example or documentation.
Andreas

Andreas,
> Where can I find the correct ID of this contribution?
If you search for references of CopyToImageAction you will find it
contributed by DiagramUIRenderContributionItemProvider with the id
"CopyToImageAction".
> What is the path to this contribution?
In the org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.render plugin's plugin.xml
file you will see where it is contributed.

Not that I am aware of.
> Is it possible to start without any default contributions?
No, but it has been requested before:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=111221
The Contribution Item Service schema provides documentation on removing
predefined items. See "popupPredefinedItem". I am almost certain you
will find examples of this in some of the generated examples, but I
could be wrong.
Regardless of all this, you are still going to have the problem that the
CopyToImageDialog class is internal.
In my opinion, if you are doing any significant customizations of the
GMF Runtime that are not covered by the examples, it is easiest to learn
by looking at the GMF code itself.

I will take your advice. At the moment I only managed to add a new
action to the popup menu with the org.eclipse.ui.popupmenus extension
point. Any contributions to
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.contributi onItemProviders
were without any effect, don't know what I am missing. I will report
back if I have a working solution.
Thanks,
Andreas
