Hello, I have a request for the next version of Entourage. Could disabled
items in contextual menus be removed? This would shorten the contextual
menu, making it more useable.
For example, context-clicking in the body of a message (no selected text,
nothing on clipboard) results in 6 disabled items + 1 separator, which could
all be removed from the pop-up, thereby making the other 10 useable items
more accessible.
It would also be in keeping with Apple's guidelines for CM's. To quote from
Inside Macintosh: Mac OS 8 Human Interface Guidelines, Chapter 4 - Menu
Guidelines
<http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/mac/HIGOS8Guide/thig-56.html>, "You
should never place a command in a contextual menu which is disabled in or
cannot be chosen from another menu in the application."
Removing disabled items is what makes a contextual menu "contextual".
Thanks,
--Michael
