Re: [Unity-design] Nautilus' Context Menus Getting Out of Hand

Yes, changing all of ones icons one at a time seems quite tedious. This is probably best left to a control panel or something of the like. Although, OS X does have something similar in it's right click menu. Something called "Show View Options," which can change how files are displayed on a per fol

The reason for not having "Open with Image Viewer >" in a single line: Users may want to click this item and having an action also being a sub-menu is contrary to EVERY single other sub-menu. Open with Image Viewer" is a command, "Open With" leaves room for expansion. As someone pointed out, thoug

I think too that the context menu needs to be redesigned. Another thing that I think is missing are *content aware actions* for the most common use cases - therefore I like the idea of the 'Further Action' menu . *We have the year 2012 an it should be possi
