KSPEvent on unfocused, uncontrolled vessel

[linuxgurugamer]

I have the following event in a part module:

 [KSPEvent(name = "Add", guiActive = true, guiActiveEditor = false, guiName = "Add to current collection", guiActiveUncommand = true, requireFullControl = false, guiActiveUnfocused = true, unfocusedRange=100)]
 public void AddToCollection()

I'm trying to make it available while focused on another vessel.  This can be a stand-alone part, it has a command module, but no ec, etc.  Just a basic part.

This works when I focus onto it, but when focused on another vessel, it isn't showing up.  I have to switch to the part/vessel in order to see it in the PAW

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Does "PAW" refer to Part Action Window Sorter-Outer ?

While i tinkered with my code, i used following flags (this was done with stock part menus) :
 

guiActive = true

guiActiveEditor = true

externalToEVAOnly = false

guiActiveUnfocused = true //this one ?

unfocusedRange = 1 //not directly relevant, though it wouldn't surprise me if KSP freaks out on large values

 

Though i tested this by launching two probe cores separated with docking  ports and batteries, then cheating them into orbit and then decoupling them. As distance grew, beyond 1m range,  menu item for other vessel vanished. Note that distance is measured from part's stack attachment node (most likely first one in part.cfg, part i work with has only one).

PAW = Part Action Window

Looks like the 

externalToEVAOnly = false

was what I was missing.

Thanks
