In fact, I've been thinking how we can  expose the "Convert" function of
parameter in an easier and more efficient way than the current right-click
menu. besides adding a toolbar for Parameters Panel[1][2], maybe we can add
a "Convert" menu to the menubar, when user select a parameter, the
available convert type will active, and those invalid convert types will
disabled. It will help new comers to know and master this core and powerful
functions of Synfig Studio in a quick and Intuitive way.

To avoid a bloated menu bar, it is necessary to take care of adding menus
on it. And this is another thought that I proposed to remove tool and
keyframe from menubar. Sometimes less is more.
