Thank you very much for your comments. Context menus definitely need some improvements.
I will try to turn off removing all the options when line/point type is changed. In fact, I have already done this, then I remember, I have put it back, but I do not remember why. So we will see, what will happen :) I am also not sure, whether using translations in symbol types/subtypes is a good idea. I would probably change it to therion language options alphabetically sorted and use balloon tips or status bar for translations. It is a real pain for example to find, where point type height is... I would also remove submenu "other options" and instead put all other options to the main context menu - even it will became longer. Any comments on these suggestions? S.
