Submenus inside context menus

Post by golemus »

Is there any way to organize to make submenus inside context menus?

Like this

browser context menu:

Open With
Batch Convert
Properties
MYMENU1
View as thumbnails + labels
View as thumbnails + details
MYEDITMENU
Cut
Copy
Paste
Copy to
Invert Selection


etc...?

ok. It could be pretty large usability improvement. Not all programs have this but those who have have potential for much better usability.

Pretty good metrics is if you start measuring distance the mouse pointer travels in screen to accomplish task A, task, B, task C, etc...

Every time you have to do anything in File, Edit, View, Metadata, etc... menus the pointer travels considerable distance upwards and then back downwards.

Having fully customizable context menus would enable user to move everything he needs from these menus to the context menus and virtually eliminate need for the whole menu bar (and also toolbar). In that case he could even hide the menu bar (I read from somewhere that officially it cannot be hidden but somewhere in xnview.ni would be a setting to hide it?)
