Perhaps the the Main Menu can retain 'Tools' while the context menu would show 'Manage' since the only tools available there are those related to managing content. Alternatively, we can leave it as is, since the default settings for the 'main menu' bar are likely to be changed to disabled. Anyone else have any thoughts? |
|
|
Reminder sent to: I'd be interested if you have any thoughts on this. |
|
|
How about making both 'Tools' menus identical, and move 'Extensions' and 'Options' to the 'Edit' or 'View' menu? Or, if that might be too confusing for longtime users, just rename the toolbar item to 'Quick Tools' We also need to put an icon next to "Tools" or whatever it might be renamed to on the toolbar. menu021.ico would fit well for that spot. |
|
|
Possible approach: Change the context button to 'Manage'. Deferring. |

I'm against changing places of 'Options...' and 'Extensions...'. Also, no need for 'Quick Tools', 'Manage' or whatever, IMHO. The context item is quite unique now, because there's the Tools icon and the down arrow, so it differentiates nicely from the main menu 'Tools'. I just miss the 'Convert Format...' item in the context 'Tools'. Why it isn't there? |
|
|
Good point re. 'Convert Format...'. Adding new issue. |
