As I said, it's hard for me to tell what changed. I could believe that new stuff just got inserted at the top. E.g., a few new iTunes actions appeared at the top but the existing ones all seemed to stay in their place. Same with Go & Fill (from One Password). The new Remote Hosts actions seemed to be spread all over the place (some high, some in the middle some at the bottom). I'm not sure how that's supposed to work.
I find it a little odd that my Show Contact is 35 but my Edit Contact is 217 with Add Note to Contact at 218. I would have guessed that Edit Contact would have been up with Show Contact as I use both of them, but it could be either way. Is Note Contact new? It's at 40. It seems to be the reverse of Add Note... and I think it's badly named. Better would be Add Note to Contact... The ... should be there because it uses the third pane and the name should suggest what's in the third pane. I have a bunch of different Run actions and it's always hard to tell them apart. They're at positions 1, 22, 23, 24. Is that what I had? Maybe but hard to know. What does strike me as wrong is if I right-arrow into a contact and choose an email address the default action is Find With... and not Compose Email. That doesn't seem like what I had. Find With... is 16 and Compose Email is 18. Did they change? I'm not sure. I know I like Find With... as my highest action for plain text so that cmd-esc on selected text lets me just choose a search engine to use. Did the handling of email addresses change? Were they previously recognized as email addresses over being plain text?
