[wp-hackers] custom post type post editor add_actionscript targetting

[Mark Duncan]

$typenow should be set for post-new, it was last time i checked in 3.0.1 
...

Some data i collected when building an admin menu can be found here 
(only intended as a quick reference for me whilst writing code).
http://wordpress.pastebin.com/uDYDa4BQ

The only time i've found it's not set is when viewing the tag management 
page and it's the "post" post type.. (it was populated for other post 
types - see pastebin data).

I suppose if necessary you could strpos or substr on $parent_file or 
$submenu_file to figure out the current post type if $typenow isn't 
producing the expected output (but i'd consider that quite hacky - and 
your existing approaches are probably better).

As Scribu said, it might be worth a trac ticket if the var isn't getting 
populated as it should be..
