/**
 * SECTION: thunarx-preferences-provider
 * @short_description: The interface to extensions that provide preferences
 * @title: ThunarxPreferencesProvider
 * @include: thunarx/thunarx.h
 *
 * The ThunarxPreferencesProvider interface is implemented by extensions that
 * want to register additional items in the preferences menu of the file
 * manager. In general this should only be done by extensions that are closely
 * tied to the file manager (for example, the <literal>thunar-uca</literal> is
 * such an extension, while an extension that just adds <guimenuitem>Compress
 * file</guimenuitem> and <guimenuitem>Uncompress file</guimenuitem> to the
 * context menu of compressed files should not add their own preferences to
 * the file manager menu, because it should use desktop-wide settings for
 * archive managers instead).
 *
 * The name of <link linkend="ThunarxMenuItem"><type>ThunarxMenuItem</type></link>s
 * returned from the thunarx_preferences_provider_get_menu items() method must be
 * namespaced with the model to avoid collision with internal file manager menu items
 * and menu items provided by other extensions. For example, the preferences menu item
 * provided by the <literal>thunar-uca</literal> extension is called
 * <literal>ThunarUca::manage-menu-items</literal>.

/**
 * thunarx_preferences_provider_get_menu_items: (skip)
 * @provider : a #ThunarxPreferencesProvider.
 * @window   : the #GtkWindow within which the menu items will be used.
 *
 * Returns the list of #ThunarxMenuItem<!---->s that @provider has to offer
 * as preferences within @window. These menu items will usually be added
 * to the builtin list of preferences in the "Edit" menu of the file
 * manager's @window.
 *
 * Plugin writers that implement this interface should make sure to
 * choose descriptive names and tooltips, and not to crowd the
 * "Edit" menu too much. That said, think twice before implementing
 * this interface, as too many preference menu items will render the
 * file manager useless over time!
 *
 * The caller is responsible to free the returned list of menu items using
 * something like this when no longer needed:
 * <informalexample><programlisting>
 * g_list_free_full (list, g_object_unref);
 * </programlisting></informalexample>
 *
 * Returns: (transfer full) (element-type ThunarxMenuItem): the list of
 *          #ThunarxMenuItem<!---->s that @provider has to offer as preferences
 *          within @window.
