The current Nautilus file context menu contains 11 or more items. The average time it takes to select an item increases with their number. The many options suggest a scarily high level of complexity in managing files.
Here you find proposals on how to:
- improve the organization of the menu
- cut down on the number of items (including how to handle the action that are no longer in the menu, then)
- improve the handling of specific items
Original Context Menu
Proposal #1
Mouse over dots for submenu
Open > Shows apps to open with/ other
Move > to Home, Desktop, Trash
Copy > Link, to Home, Desktop
Appear when needed:
- Paste
Extract ... > here, to [file name folder]
-dave
I think that it should use arrows to be consistent with other menus
