Re: [Gretl-users] GUI points

While we're on the subject of GUI re-organisation: I too, like Stefano and others, think that the proposed changes to the Model window menu structure would be beneficial.

On the context menu idea, instead, I have a different view. Although it's really nice to have frequently used actions just a click away, everyone's got their favourites, and a right-click menu should not be overpopulated IMO. OTOH, I wouldn't be averse to a slight reorganisation of the main menu: we now have a "Variable" top-level entry which contains a selection of things that you can do with a variable; logic would dictate that you would have a parallel "List" entry with actions that you can perform with a list. These, at the moment, are either inaccessible from menus (ie add/drop variables from a list) or put into other places (ie View or Add). So you would have a "Variables" menu with certain sub-entries like "Graph", "Transform", "Analyze" etc and a parallel top-menu "Lists" entry with more or less the same structure. In this context, perhaps the "View" menu could be disposed of. I realise that maybe we're too close to release time to raise this point now, but still, it would be nice to discuss ideas.
