So finally u're saying that importance/frequency doesn't really matter and we should do like other applications do regardless of their menu actions. That s a good question follow blindly the menus of other apps or evaluate the application usage.
For marlin i choose the second option, i didn't want massive menus and didn't wanted neither submenus which just add complexity. Contracts are not just another sendto menu, they clearly more than that and very close to an open with action and sometimes u just can't say the difference between a contract and an open with action. What is the difference between "Burn to Disk" and open with Brasero ? Let say i add an imaginary contract like Play a movie what is the difference between Open with Totem and Play a movie? Theses are the reasons which tell me that contracts belong with open with actions, they are extended actions not very different than a 3th 4th 5th open with action item. Of course if we didn't imposed ourselves not to have submenus our menus would be different. -- 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
