disable Show View from UI for allowMultiple? [message #290682]

Originally posted by: macneil.gmail.com

I have a view that uses the allowMultiple feature. Each view shows a
specific view of my data and there is no sensible or useful "default" for
this view.

I want it so that all instances of the view are created through these
other views (in order to pass in the specific data that each view should
show). Is there a way to get my view off of the "Show View->Other..."
list? (When the user selects this now, they'll just see an empty view.)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Macneil

I haven't seen anything in the extension point, but what about using an
activity to filter UI contributions? i.e. try and filter out your view
using activities, but not filter out the action that you want to
activate your view.
