Hmm... If I right-click on an image, I'd like the top of my file menu to show some stuff that I want to open the image with (Gimp, Picky, RotateRight, RotateLeft, etc...) So I add those to SendTo/.image but they do not show up. (They only show up on the SendTo submenu) Instead I must add them to SendTo/.image_jpeg, SendTo/.image_tiff, SendTo/.image_gif, SendTo/.image_png, SendTo/.image_xpm, etc, etc.... Isn't this wrong behaviour? /Jonatan -=( http://kymatica.com )=- |

Haven't some people already complained that the file menu is too big? I wonder if the current behaviour is quite intentional to keep the file menu a bit shorter. |

Yeah, but what is the point of it if I can't put something in SendTo/.image and have it turned up there when I right-click an image?? As it is now, it is only useful for very specific filetypes, like "only mount points" or "only application/x-cdrdao-toc"... Any type that has several subtypes breaks it and makes it useless. If people have so much in their SendTo/.image that they think it makes their filemenu too big when right-clicking on an image, then there could be an option to turn off the "customized filemenu" and only use the SendTo submenu... /Jonatan -=( http://kymatica.com )=- |

I have now made a patch that gives the behaviour I was asking for... =) See separate post. /Jonatan -=( http://kymatica.com )=- |

Why is this in two places? Clearly the support for type and type_subtype is there, so support for it should be consistent. |
