One thing you probably didn't take in account is that KDE uses a system of= =20 Action and Standart Actions. All the Standart Actions are defined systemwid= e=20 and therefor all the programs that use this should look the same. I did the= =20 port to KActions in Version 1.9 (KDE 2.1) but so far the ordering didn't= =20 change very much. But your suggestions have reasons and I reconsidered the= =20 whole thing (actually it wasn't me who arranged it this way in the first=20 place I just recently took over maintenance). I made a few comments to you're suggestions but didn't comment on all. I= =20 will commit my changes as soon as the hard-freeze for KDE 2.2 alpha2 is ove= r.=20 So it will be in KDE 2.2. Hope it suits you better now. > 2.Edit menu: getting confusing it should have the following items: > > 1.Intensity submenu-> (since we edit the intensity of image.) I don't think so. It at least belongs together with the other filters=20 (Greyscale and Smooth).
