Adding context menu to listitems in an addon?

Does this mean that the context menu does not show up if the .py file does not exist (which is what happens for me), or just that it fails to run when you click the item in the context menu?

I am beginning to think that adding context menu items only works for plugins and not scripts. I would be delighted for someone to prove me wrong, however. If someone can manage to modify the example that I posted earlier so that it works, I would be grateful.

yes, adding context menu entries only works for plugins. you can't add a general context menu entry pointing to a script.

Is there a particular reason for this? I assume I will have to create my own context menu implementation then.

Hi Spiff,

I'd like to be able to be able to add to this context menu from python also:

and from a site search I see others would also. Do you know what would be the best way to add this?

Thanks,
