I complained when we had two File->New menu items, and it did get changed, but really I still think there should only be one menu. The options really seem to be * file->new to make a blank new file * file->new to use a template to fill in default options * use file->open-as-layers to base a new image on an existing file * use file->open to edit an existing file * use file->open to open a non-blank template (e.g. with guides) * use file->create->screenshot to capture the screen * use file->create->epkowa:usb:003:003 to scan from an Epson scanner (say) * use file->create->Patterns to use script-fu to make an image All of these bring up dialogue boxes or file choosers. Plus of course you can also drag from the desktop or elsewhere. Since there's going to be a dialogue box, what if File->New brought up a single unified box with the choices (and maybe with a drop area so you can drag and drop a file to be used as a basis for a new image)?
