Dear list,
One of the things I always found strange with Trojitá was some apects of
its menu structure, both in the main menu bar as in the context menus.
Below, I present a proposal for an reorganized structure. There may be good
reasons for the current structure, but I'm not aware of those, so some
parts of the proposal may not be feasible or applicable. I would be
grateful for your feedback and hope to produce some patch(es) in case there
is enough support for a resulting reorganization.

Questions that arose:
* What is the style used for capitalization in menus. Currently both
Sentence case and Title Case are used. (I used Title Case above.)
* Is there a criterion to decide which (type of) actions go in the main
menu and/or the context menus?
Best,
Erik
