Re: [Gretl-users] Recent menu changes

I agree with you after the recent menu changes. Things look better, more focused etc. But please do not stop here. While you are at it, please consider: 1)- Consolidating a add obs and remove extar obs in the data menu and if possible some items in the variable menu (gini coeff item, any one?). Those are the two biggest menus now. The variable menu is still taller than the default height of the main window. 2)- Adding a Spearman's correlations as a matrix, 3)- Import and export data as parts of the GUI selector, 4)- Figuring something about the two "missing value code" items. 5)- Multiple model tables etc. Recent experience has shown me that GUI is very important and new users tend form a strong first impression after using gretl for a very short period of time. If anything looks weird or unprofessional or if something seems broken, this really negatively affects the perception of the overall quality. By contrast, GUI items like model tables, LaTeX export functionality or a possible new gui based matrix operation functionality provide a significant "wow" factor. My point is: There are things that need you magic touch so please go ahead with the GUI improvements at least in this release.
