Hi Uli, Thanks for taking care of this. IMHO: Move to a conditional include of a menu.zcml that (or include a menu.zcml file that conditionally) registers the browser menus for zmi_views and release a new minor version, declaring an extra dependency on the packages that provides zmi_views. With this, release a new minor version that will be backward compatible, due to the conditional. Then release a new major version that removes the include and the conditional. Add to README the instructions for manually including menu.zcml if this functionality is needed. If you get tired, do just one of the above :-) Regards, Leo On Sun, May 27, 2012 at 3:52 PM, Uli Fouquet <uli@gnufix.de> wrote:

Hi there,

zope.file still registers browser menus for `zmi_views` in its browser.zcml. This is a problem if you don't have/want the ZMI but want to use zope.file otherwise (IMHO it also means an undeclared dependency, as none of the packages zope.file declares to depend on really provides this browser menu AFAICS).

I see that it is easy to register such a menu yourself but it annoys and confuses people new to Grok/Zope.

I'd therefore like to remove these registrations from zope.file, make it at least conditional, or move it to some `menu.zcml` or similar, not included automatically by z3c.autoinclude and friends.

Is there a reason why that shouldn't happen? If not: what way would be the best in your opinion (removal/conditional/menu.zcml)?

Best regards,

-- Uli
