Description Nicolas Brisset 2006-02-01 17:09:53 UTC
Version:           1.2.0_devel (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3
OS:                SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

When right-clicking a view object, there are currently *three* RMB menu versions according to the current mode (drawing/layout/zoom). This is too much, and quite dangerous as for instance:
- in label mode, the first entry is "Modify..."
- in layout mode, the first entry is "Delete" !

In fact, it is even worse than that as the menus are not always the same for all objects !
I understand this came from the wish to keep them short in some cases (like zoom mode), but personally I believe that the current situation is a real chaos. I wouldn't mind having long menus (after all, when you call the menu you expect to see something, it's not like when it's always visible), especially if they're always the same. After some time, you know where to look and save a lot of time (and blunders).
Comment 1 Netterfield 2006-06-17 02:15:12 UTC
The only change that really needs to be done here is that edit... should move to the top of the layout mode menu, above delete, as it is everwhere else.  
Comment 2 George Staikos 2006-06-18 18:07:55 UTC
SVN commit 552634 by staikos:

Moved edit to the top of the layout menu.  I also shuffled a couple other items
that seemed randomly placed.  Importantly, I pushed delete down so it's not too
close to the top where the menu may show.  Destructive commands should be a bit
harder to reach.  Similar commands are grouped together.

Comment 3 Nicolas Brisset 2006-06-20 14:36:48 UTC
I don't know whether it is related, but in view object mode (for box, ellipse, picture, line and arrow) the RMB menus are too short: just "Cleanup layout" !)
They should either be the same as in layout mode, or at least contain "Modify" and "Delete".
Comment 4 Nicolas Brisset 2006-07-05 10:04:36 UTC
Speaking of this, would you mind moving the "Delete" entry from the plot dialog further down ? Everybody misses "Edit..." one day or the other and loses a plot too easily.
Comment 5 Netterfield 2006-11-27 01:03:41 UTC
SVN commit 608177 by netterfield:

-SVG icons for new/edit matrix and new/edit vectors
-Matrix and vector widgets use kiconloader for their icons.
-reorganize context menus
-'edit vector' calls providers dialog if slave vector.
-'edit vector' and 'edit matrix' buttons call dialogs in edit mode.
