Hi,
I agree - not a big issue to change the menu from File to Project.
It also makes sense to me since all of the subentries in this menu
relate to the project - and not to files (like shape files, tiffs, etc.)
+1 for leaving the first menu entry as Project. It also helps to

very non-standard, and may cause more cofusion than it's worth. Certainly on
OS X, maybe on other systems.
People know what the File menu means, even if the main object of an
application is a project, or video or

I can understand the concern, it was the same thing that went though my
mind when I change the composer menu. In the end most people didn't care,
or adapted. There are a lot of applications that don't use a file menu

Hi Nathan,
Here are both of your example programs on OS X. You will see that the menu
observes the OS X HIGs with a File and Edit menu item in the main menubar of
the OS for both of these applications.

As much as HIGs are good they are guidelines at best, they are not meant to
tell everyone what to do in every case all the time. Apple, MS, etc don't
