[Tracker] Incorrectly disables "New..." submenu for read-write dirs on some cases.

[bipolar]

This is on hrev57936 64 bits (Tracker set to single navigation mode, if that matters).

Steps to reproduce:

• Open a Tracker window to ~/config/ (say, via drill-down menus):

The "New..." sub-menu is correctly disabled.

• Enter "non-packaged" in the same window via double click:

The "New..." sub-menu is *incorrectly* still disabled.

On the other hand....

• Directly opening a Tracker window into ~/config/non-packaged/:

The "New..." submenu is correctly enabled.

Similar thing happens with /boot/system/ and /boot/system/settings/, for example.

This is fixed by my shortcuts refactor: ​https://review.haiku-os.org/c/haiku/+/7197/36 specifically ContainerWindow.cpp line 1509 where it says:

if (... || wasVolume != IsVolume())
    RepopulateMenus();

The bug is caused by not repopulating menus when you switch volumes, which you are due to packagefs shenanigans when you switch from ~/config to ~/config/non-packaged as well as from /boot/system/ to /boot/system/settings/. This was always a bug but it was hidden before I started disabling the menu items the "New folder" item as in R1B4 the menu item was always enabled even when it wouldn't actually work.

I'm going to try to split the relevant change out I'm pretty sure I've identified where the bug is happening. I'd like this bug fixed sooner and I'm not sure if Shortcuts refactor going to make it in before R1B5.

Split out fix in ​https://review.haiku-os.org/c/haiku/+/8002 for quicker inclusion.

Fixed in hrev57955.

Sadly, the fix from hrev57954 doesn't seems to be working too well, as it now leaves the "New" submenu enabled all the time, even on read-only folders...

Easy to reproduce by opening any read-only folder.

(tested on hrev57966, 64 bits).

I tested on hrev57966, 64-bit nighty build and the feature worked as expected with New menu disabled on read-only, and enabled on read-write folders. Single window nav turned on or off, reproducing the steps of this ticket and other folders as well.

Can you give me a more specific set of steps to make the show the wrong enabled status for New menu? I suspect this is indeed fix there is something else going on.

I see the problem now, I was looking at the File menu New and you’re looking at context click menu. I’ll need to update on window context instead of pose context.

Replying to jscipione:

[...] you’re looking at context click menu.

Yes. I should have been more explicit. Sorry!

[jscipione]

It was a silly mistake on my part, I should have thought of that earlier. You were right-clicking I was looking in the File menu, so that's how both we were seeing different things.

The following PS should fix the issue on right-click as well:
