This is a bug, it might have been introduced with https://github.com/textmate/dialog/commit/d879791c606dca908fe423c1e839c6ba92f9217c

A similar change was done to https://github.com/textmate/textmate/blob/master/Frameworks/BundleMenu/src/BundleMenu.mm but I since changed it slightly, so we might want to just “port” over the 2.0 menu code to the plug-in(s).

I may look into this later…

Sounds good, though I’d prefer providing a key path selector / filter.

This should then be useful for all the commands with plist output.
