Hi,
I've started the "Cleaning up the menu entries" issue
and according to the wishes/comments/explanations in the
thread I have composed a new menu layout.
Where entries have changed (name and/or action) I've
added additional comments. All others just do what
they used to do.
| File | Edit | Insert | Layout | View | Navigate | Documents | Help |
File->New // Collapse New and New_from_template.
// Use "invalid" filename; when saved, call 'Save as...' automatically.
// Should a window popup ask for Template/Class or assume a default for
that?
Open // Collapse Open and Import. Open according to file extension:
// .lyx, .tex, .txt, .nw, .doc are opened as you expect.
// Does ASCII (*.txt) input need a Lines/Paragraph popup?

until

capabilities?
