GenericMenu and ContextMenu question

Question

i have a script that allows me to create an empty .txt in my assets for writing notes and the like, and i was wondering if there was a way to add my create function to the context menu within the project pane. i kno genericmenu is supposed to add custom drop downs but the example says for custom windows. and contextmenu only adds to objects with the script assigned to them.

is there a way to accomplish this? i can keep using my menuItem at the top, but id rather have it listed with all the other choices within the context menu.

You can do that by adding it to the Assets/Create menu item. Since the project view uses the same dropdown.

Also:

ContextMenu is used for a contextmenu in the inspector of your component
MenuItem is used for a contextmenu anywere else (Note that this needs to be placed in a script inside the Editor folder)

using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor;

public class EditorExample { [MenuItem("Assets/Create/YourNameHere")] static void YourMethod() { // Your code here } }
