Affects Version/s: UDIG 0.9
Fix Version/s: UDIG 1.0.RC3

Environment: 0.9.2


 Description  « Hide
The menus need to be sane, their are some eclipse guidelines we don't need to make this up.
Right now we have lots of dead or duplicated items, note everything in the toolbars has to be available in a menu (we may need a navigate view to accomplish this)

The following is a suggestion -

File
====
New (in order of use)

  • New Layer
  • New Map
  • New Project
  • New Page
  • Other ...
    Open Project
    Close Project (when selected)
    ------------------
    Close
    Close All
    -------------------
    revert
    refresh F5 (this would redraw the current map)
    rename
    print
    -------------------
    properties Alt-Enter
    -------------------
    Exit

Edit
====
undo
redo
----------
cut
copy
paste
----------
delete Del (global action should be able to remove features, layers, styles etc ...)
----------
zoom mode
pan mode
info mode
select mode
edit mode
Other ....
----------
Select All (only engage when layer is selected?)
----------

Navigate (owns most of the one click nav options)
========
forward
backward
---------
show all Home
zoom in +
zoom out -
goto location Cntrl-L (opens dialog similar to bookmarks?)
---------
add location Ins
---------
show all

Layer (layer context menu is a proper subset of this)
=====
Add
Delete (duplicate of edit?)
-------
Show in Catalog
-------
Applicability

  • selectable
  • infoable
  • etc ...
    -------
    Analysis Group 1 (single type or layer based extention point)
  • first
  • second
  • third
  • other ...
    Analysis Group 2 (inline groups of one)
  • first
  • second
  • third
  • other ...
    ---------
    Show (zoom to layer)

Tools
=====
Tool Group 1

  • Big ticket complicated extention point
  • w/ multi layers and wizards
    Tool Group 2
  • These are opperations rather than analysis
  • they produce content, start external apps etc...
    ----------
  • Publish to GeoServer (produces a geoserver config)
  • Localize Content (downloads all content used by the map, and replaces the references in one step)

Window
======
Open New Window
Show View (think about what goes in this list)

  • Projects
  • Layers
  • Properties
  • Search
  • Selection
  • Catalog
  • Other ...
    --------------
    Preferences
