Description pentalis 2011-06-15 22:44:54 UTC
The layerbox right click menu is confusing and redundant, all the options it offers except one are already offered in other menues (one is the drop down list beside the plus button, and the other is the icons incorporated to each layer).

This bug report was made to keep track of the changes I'll do to make it more useful.

Remove unnecessary clutter from the KisLayerBox menu

o Commands to change the layer's individual properties were removed: there are
icons for that.
o Commands to add new layers were removed: the add layer button is there for that,
and there is no need to right click on a layer to add a new layer.
o Commands to delete, duplicate or merge the layer down were presented: there are
icons to do that (except merge layer down), however, right clicking on a layer to
remove it or duplicate it makes sense, unlike right clicking on a layer to add a new one.

Re-add menu entries to KisLayerBox that were relevant to the current layer

o The Mask-adding actions were restored to the menu since it makes sense
to right click on a layer to add a mask to it.
