Options: hide menus and menuItems

[eweryboooody]

Hello!

Nice seeing that 1.90 is developing great!

But I see a general problem coming onto XnView. It looks just like the same one that killed A&$%"ee for me a while ago. XnView is becoming more and more powerful and complex but keeps stable and fast (contrary to its competitors)! What is a very good point to mention!!

But the menus and toolbars seem to strike me dead more and more.

I know I can deactivate most of the toolbar stuff, but the window- and rightclickmenus keep as large as before.

For instance there is a tiny extension for firefox called ImageZoom. With it you can rightclick+mousewheel to zoom on any image in firefox. But it also comes with a couple of context menus wich you despite of the tinyness of the tool can adjust as you wish:
>>Image Zoom Context Menu Preferences Screenshot<<

And ... oh my!! There whould be a lot of menuItems I'd disable in XnView:
as an example:

I can fullscreen on MMB, I browse with the wheel, I zoom with Ctrl+wheel, I see information already in the title, I do editing in PS, I know the slideshow key, I copy with the explorer, delete via shift+Del, rename with F2, close with Ctrl+w .. so:

could turn to:


see what I mean?
This is not offending! I praise the functional range of XnView!!
But its just that not every user needs every function everytime.

you could also offer menu-presets..
* "show all menu items"
* "I know the hotkeys"
* "I just want to browse a little"

see what I mean?

So something like 'Use light popup menu"?

[eweryboooody]

Yea maybe!

But not only Popupmenu! Maybe also in the standart menus and even the menus itself. Maybe someone wants to hide "window" or "filters" because he never uses it...

But of course the usual rightclickmenu whould be the first adress to do something like this on. Man.. look at it! Its huge
It could be so cool to have it customized!

But I see the RMB-menu in view and browse is very different. Whould need to have two different setups.

An ability to build our own menu structures would solve this issue completely.

Silly users! We always want everything!

[eweryboooody]

hmm... but I guess thats not done with a snap ;]

Actually the problem in this case is that I dont want everything! I want the ability to have less!!
