Well, of course it's your prerogative to decide how the menus are implemented, but IMHO "useful" is partly based on common sense, logic(al thinking), taste and to some degree what you're used to. While it's true that putting Services below Info reduces availability, my personal taste is having an "uncluttered" main menu -- the less main entries, the better. So, in my point of view, Apple did nothing wrong by putting Services under Info. Depending on what people want/prefer, you could still implement it controlled by a default setting, that puts Services in the top level menu if not set (as this would be the default). Just a thought of course, -- Chris _______________________________________________ Etoile-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-dev
