Description Jesse Glick 1999-06-27 00:59:47 UTC 
I.e. if the instance class were a subclass of SystemAction (or, more precisely, Presenters.Popup), InstanceNode could have an action in its popup menu whose presenter would consist of a submenu name
d "Test Action...", and containing one item--the popup presenter of the actual action instance.

This would permit people to try out actions that they were only manipulating instances of. For example, in the action pool, if you came across a weird-looking action, you could invoke this popup and s
ee what in fact it did.

Test action is part of APISupport, is not it?
Do you suggest to copy the code and put it into core? Ok, do it.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2000-07-14 11:13:59 UTC 
Note that the instance file at least now shows the proper name and icon from the
action, so this is a good start--most people will at least recognize the action
visually.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2000-08-14 13:36:59 UTC 
Probably the icon is sufficient.
