[FIXED] RC4: Stop in browser's context menu is useless

When you right-click a thumb in the browser, you get "Stop.........ESC" in the context menu. Stop does nothing and ESC closes XnView ie same as File>Exit. I'd suggest, either remove this entry from the menu, or rename it to "Exit" (and make it actually exit the program) for consistency with File>Exit

Perhaps "Rename F2" is also a good candidate for removal in this particular context menu. The same thing is done by using clicking name with mouse.

I'd like to keep the "Rename F2".

Good to know. Still the question whether it's worth while having an entry in the context menu for this. Personally, I never use Esc for stopping thumbnail creation, since it might close the browser if I press it too late. Also, I would rather press Esc than opening a context menu and select a menu item at the bottom.
That's my opinion, what do other users think?

I don't need Stop in the context menu in the browser, I'd rather have Exit there.

i think there's another topic for exit in context menu
ok close isn't useless for it actually stops thumbnail creation. If Pierre thinks it's not useful to have a context menu entry for this and ESC is enough, he'll remove it. marking fixed.

Closed. There seems to be no real need for removing "Stop".
