I always though of 'File, Properties' (or 'File, Get Info' because there is lots of kinds of file metadata, not specifcally related to the image drawable. > This is a reasonable suggestion. > > Out of interest, are there other menu items that people would like to see > elsewhere? This is not very difficult to do, but there has not (yet) been a I very much want menus in other places. I filed this bug less than two weeks ago and it was rejected. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140439 I'm convinced that there will always be people who want menus in different places and that runtime customizable menus will eventually be needed. (It doesn't seem possible to have menus that will be comfortable for longterm Gimp, Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter or Macromedia Fireworks users). If the improvements to Script-Fu allow scripts to exactly place menu items (this seemed to be part of the plan) and assign shortcuts (but this wasn't mentioned) I will at least be able to use scripts to put some features exactly where I would like them to be. (It doesn't seem to be posible to use Script-Fu to add seperators either, I just get a menu item labelled ---). > proposition on where to put menu entries. ... so many things I'd like to mover around I wont even start to list them. - Alan
