Hi Gary, I do like the idea of users being able to get to some of the more common actions a bit quicker. A few issues with this approach would be: 1) This could take up more room in the table. When we have tables that have a lot of columns, this design could get crowded. 2) I've found it's hard to represent certain actions with an icon. I like the idea of having the common ones as icons and having a drop down for the others, although it might feel a bit inconsistent. As Jirka mentioned, it might be best to post the question up on the UX Askbot site and get other UX designer thoughts!
