Comment 1 Andrew Walker 2007-03-26 20:46:35 UTC

The Window menu item was removed in revision 638407.

This effectively removes the ability to quickly rename and close windows.

Comment 2 Netterfield 2007-03-26 21:41:57 UTC

What does/did the window menu do?

Comment 3 Andrew Walker 2007-03-26 21:48:52 UTC

Close a window.
Rename a window.
Switch mdi mode. 
Tile/cascade windows.

Comment 4 Netterfield 2007-03-26 22:15:12 UTC

Currently Close and Rename are availible from the tab.... and there is not new 
Window option availible except from the new data objects dialongs.  Should we 
have a menu for these items?

Is anyone aware of any *users* using anything other than tabs for MDI mode?  
If not, I am happy to only support tabs.

I would think that if we're going to remove long standing functionality the only valid reason would be that it doesn't work or has been replaced by something better. I often find myself going to a non-existent Window menu to close windows.

As designed.  All functionality remains.  The window menu was for KMdi in multi-window mode.  We have removed this functionality.  File menu now has New Tab and the rest, as explained above, is available from the context menu of the tab.
