Hi, In menubar of mainwindow, there are 10 items: File, Edit, View, Canvas, Layer, Keyframe, Tool, Set, Plug-Ins and Help.
Do we really need Layer, Tool, Set, Keyframe menus? Since all of their sub-items are avaliable in their own panels. Keyframe menu, in most cases, user has go to keyframe panel to maintain keyframes for their documents. Layer menu, is just a copy of layer panel context menu Tool menu, is just a copy of toolbox Set, I never use it from menu bar Canvas, almost same, but the Canvas Properties and Options should be relocated from Edit and File menus to Canvas menu. I advise to: - Remove Keyframe, Layer, Tool, Set menus from menubar - Add a new Window item which contains File->Panels items (with some improvements of couse) - Relocate menu items Edit-Properties and File->Options to Canvas menu. Maby be we should hide the Options menu item, since the Options dialog is not a finished effort, and from my point of view, it is more like a canvas metadata editor. It would better to merge it into canvas properties dialog. So the new menubar will look like: File, Edit, View, Canvas, Plug-Ins, Window, Help Sub-items: [File] ============================== New Open...
