Why not Lukas' proposal? Other mails argued that we should not add "save and quit" because it increases the menu size. But with Lukas' suggestion the number of menu items stay the same, hence this argument does not hold. Mike argued he needs "save as new version" at least once a day. This is not lost as "Save as" does the trick. Adrian On Jun 11, 2009, at 02:28 , Nicolas Cellier wrote:
How to customize the menus? Customization == Preference, OK these are synonyms.
Among the propositions so far: 1) override a method 2) some specific hard-wired Preferences 3) automatic
some drawbacks: 1) require maintenance at each update 2) why a Preference for an item and not another ? 3) changing menus are painful (MS lacks some inertia for sure...)
So far, I agree on 4) keep a simple static menu ...unless customization be accessible right from the menu (halos?) rather than from an obscure path. And easily undo-able (for example, items could be there but just undisplayed...)

what about having a preference to enable/disable "save and quite" from menu?

X most used items on top. Y often used items following. Every other less used items in submenus.
you mean the most horrible idea MS ever had, changing menus?
-10^age of the universe ;-)
Hah! I agree wholeheartedly. Changing menus are not fun.
I use Save and Quit all the time... this is starting to smell like a preference. If you want super short menus, then turn it off, if you want the convenience, then have it on...
what say?
