Hi Markus, I once was in a Lighting Talk which was describing some interface research related to context. It was fascinating because it showed the difference between nouns (applications) and verbs (run, delete, uninstall)

A context menu is still valid here, because we have no verbs apart from the default (assumed) one 'Run'. There are a number of Brainstorm items that ask for this feature, it's a well requested idea that already has an implementation in mint and enough rationale to back up it's addition. 2009/3/19 Andrew Barbaccia <andrew.barbac...@gmail.com> > > I agree.

Think about if we applied the same logic to nautilus, we'd have to remove the Places menu, it's already in the nautilus Places list, get rid of the home folder because you can access it from /home, remove previews, because it's so easy to load them in a viewer and finally remove the ability to double click on anything, because why should you need to load a file from a nautilus context when you can just load the target application first and use that Open/Load functionality. This may at first look like duplication, but it's not, it's contexted functionality and it improved the ease of use of the system.
