Hi, I've recently tried to make ItemFactory work, but I've faced several issues:

I've created an array hint for CreateItems and made it hidden (so that there's only
one custom method without n_entries).

Added to Gtk.Metadata
-------------------------------------------
<!-- array hint -->
<rule>
  <class name="GtkItemFactory">
  <method>CreateItems</method>
  </class>
  <data>
    <attribute target="param">
      <filter level="name">entries</filter>
      <name>array</name>
      <value>1</value>
    </attribute>
  </data>
</rule>

<!-- hide method -->
<rule>
  <class name="GtkItemFactory">
  <method>CreateItems</method>
  </class>
  <data>
    <attribute target="method">
      <name>hidden</name>
      <value>1</value>
    </attribute>
  </data>
</rule>
-------------------------------------------
then I created a custom constructor for ItemFactoryEntry
(only without extra_data field that needs to be converted from either
pixbuf stream of string to pointer (for image and stock items))

both ItemFactory and ItemFactoryEntry .custom files are attached.

then I initialize the ItemFactoryEntry array like:

static ItemFactoryEntry items[] = {
        new ItemFactoryEntry ("/_File", etc...), // "/_File" goes to items[0].path
        ...
};

but CreateItems fails with lots of assertions on the console that look like
"entry->path[0] != '/'"
however when I create exactly one FactoryEntry struct and call CreateItem
everything works somehow.
I cannot figure out why this is so, methods in other classes work great
with struct arrays, so why this one fails?

Regards,
Artem
