App UI - menu - unify disabled menu state

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.8.0 64bit
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


App UI - menu - consistency of disabled state
app_ui_menu_disabled_state_consistency.png
menus that have all items disabled behave inconsistently, some of them are:
  • expandable
    - Navigate to
    - Copy to clipboard
    - Open GPS location in
    - EXIF Thumbnail
  • not expandable
    - Zoom
    - Lossless transformation (JPEG)

Suggestion
  • unify menu behavior
    if all items inside menu are disabled - disable menu itself
    this will save time by informing the user that there are no available commands in the menu without opening it
