i'm pretty sure that i would consider your upper horizontal toolbar overcrowded... here is what the one of mine looks like: https://framapic.org/kNMkPPwaSmNd/tXuqPujK1kZ6.png (and i still would like to get rid of a few icons in the tools toolbar... like the spiral and the barcode... really, those should only be in the insert menu... nobody uses them so often that they deserve a better visibility!) > Using the contextual menu is very slow and unconfortable: select, > scroll down, move to right, scroll down and finally do the job. and here i agree with you. (except, on one small big detail... see below...) sometimes, contextual menus are a good solution, but in most cases they are slow and uncomfortable. most of all, if there are too many items in there and if there are hidden in sub menus. i believe that the scribus contextual menu should be put on diet and become more contextual... that is: provide "fast" access to actions (without a shortcut) that are likely to be useful in the current context. the last refactoring of the contextual menu was well meant, but to me it has has lead to a worse usability. (if i right click on an image frame that is not filling its frame there are 98% chances that i want to adapt the frame to the size of the image and 1% that i want to adapt the image to the size of the frame) if those two actions would not be hidden in a submenu, i would say that the contextual menu is the fastest and most comfortable way to resize the frame). ymmv, but your specific example seem to be a perfect fit for a contextual menu: if i click on a image frame, it's faster to right click on the same spot, rather than travel half of the screen to click on a button and then (probably) come back at the same place. ciao a.l.e ps.: this longer reply inspired me to a better solution (and a bug report): now i have ctrl+= as the shortcut for resizing the frame to the image. (and now i've also been inspired to a feature request)
