Two actions called “New”

SUMMARY
There are two actions called New. Unfortunately, they even have the same icon, which is maybe not appropriate for New Session.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Menubar, Configure Toolbars

OBSERVED RESULT
* New
* New
* Configure Toolbars is confusing

EXPECTED RESULT
* New File
* New Session

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Hi :)

Hmm, sort of a tricky problem, because the words "File" or "Session" would be redundant in the menubar versions, but are critically important in the toolbar configuration UI.

Is there a way to give the same action different text in different contexts, I wonder?
Comment 3 Christoph Cullmann 2020-09-15 16:11:44 UTC 
I don't think it is that crude, given all other items in that menu have "Session" inside, aka "Save Session", ....
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2020-09-15 16:13:28 UTC 
Fair enough, I hadn't considered that! Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. :)
