Splitting menus: Rating & Colour tag

[helmut]

Please note that this has been proposed in topic Colour Ratings. I'm reposting this because I want to make sure that this is implemented in 1.90.

If we do continue with two ratings, let's separate the two menus into
- View > Rating
- View > Colour Tag

And showing/hiding of Rating and Colour Tag could become independant (one menu item "Show Rating" and one menu item "Show colour tag").

Last not least there should be a separator in View menu. All in all this would look like this:

...
Stop animation
------------------
Tag >
Rating >
Colour Tag >
------------------
Show files in subfolders
...

This way things become a bit clearer, again.

I like all in 1 submenu

Open the submenu "Ratings & Colour labels" of 1.90 Beta 6 and see if you can find out which menu item does what at first glance.
Changing to "1 - Poor", "2 - Good", ... will help a bit, but the whole menu will become much clearer if you split Ratings and Colour labels.

I don't like the alternate 'Colour labels'... so I don't care that much...

But I think a single submenu with both "5 - Excellent", "4 - Good", "3 - Average", "2 - Below average", "1 - Bad" and "[red] - Important", "[Orange] - Work", etc... descriptions would be enough, IMHO.
2 separated submenus could be even better, though...

5 is blue, and 1 is red, right?

The colors depend on the skin used, right? (on my Mezich, 5 is purple and 1 is red).

As said elsewhere, I would prefer the following colours to be the standard for Ratings:

(ie: skin designers should follow that standard, but a user could still edit a skin to get exactly what he wants)
