App UI - menu structure - View - improve channel commands

[user0]

XnViewMP 1.7.2 64bit
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

App UI - Viewer/Browser - View/Preview menu
lack of items grouping and channel show/hide functionality

Suggestion

General
Viewer

• rename
  to clarify functionality and consistency with terminology of other applications (see examples)
  • Use checkerboard pattern →
    Use transparency grid
  • High zoom quality →
    Use antialiasing
    also rename in Settings > View

Browser - Toolbar / Context menu

• unify Zoom/Navigate groups position
  it is more or less ok to put these items in one group (w/o separator between them), but
  Navigate should be first, since its related to Open commands above

• (optional) add same Antialiasing and Transparency grid commands as in Viewer
  with Browser's own state

Browser - Context menu

• (optional) remove File operations commands
  what is the reason to perform file operations from Preview menu?

A
Viewer / Browser

• reshuffle items

• add 'Show channel' group
  commands already exist in the app

Browser - Toolbar

• add 'Draw as Tiled'

B
same as A, plus
Viewer / Browser

• add 'Use channel' group
  • add new 'Use R, G, B' commands (Show/Hide functionality) same as in Photoshop, ImageGlass
    to view multiple channels together (eg R and B), which is not possible with existing 'Show R, G, B, A' commands
  • move here 'User transparency index (≤ 8bits)'

C - preferable
same as B, but
Viewer / Browser

• remove 'Show channel' group
  as they are simply shortcuts to view only one channel. The new 'Use R, G, B' commands provide more flexibility.
  Or rework 'Show channel' commands to allow hiding one and viewing two channels
