Okay, for starters you're applying your personal use case to all users and you're assuming two applications that do the same thing (something we've taken a pretty hard stance against in elementary).
But you're completely leaving off the consistency case. What about the sidebar context menu where cut/copy don't apply but Open does? Open needs to be at the top of the menu and Properties at the bottom for this reason alone, even if we discounted the frequency of the open action (which I highly doubt is how most users utilize the file manager). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of elementary desktop team, which is the registrant for Marlin. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/825923 Title: re-organize context menus Status in Marlin: New Bug description: The organization of the current context menus is a little odd. I'd like to propose a new organization that (hopefully) puts more used items towards the top and lesser used items towards the bottom. It's organization also allows menus to be more consistent in their placement amongst themselves (even though they contain different items). Note that I used the phrase "Get Info" instead of "Properties". I feel like this is a more friendly wording, but this is only my opinion and I won't protest if you disagree on that point. Here is the proposal: ### Click in an Empty Space: Create New Folder... -- Select All Paste -- Show Hidden Files and Folders -- Get Info ### Click on a Folder: Open Open in New Tab -- Cut Copy Paste into Folder -- %Contractor -- Rename... -- Move to Trash Delete -- Colors -- Get Info ### Click on an Item: Open with "DefaultAppName" Open with > -- Cut Copy -- %Contractor -- Rename... -- Move to Trash Delete -- Colors -- Get Info To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/marlin/+bug/825923/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementaryart Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementaryart More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
