I think the original idea was to have something like a "File" menu, that<br class="gmail_msg">
many applications have, too. Although it is not named "File". Anyway<br class="gmail_msg">
IMHO it is a good idea, because many users get general and project's<br class="gmail_msg">
settings mixed up and I would not favor renaming "Project" to "File"<br class="gmail_msg">
either.<br class="gmail_msg">
Going into detail: shouldn't "Project Properties..." go into the<br class="gmail_msg">
"Project" menu then (and be renamed to "Properties")?<br class="gmail_msg">
"Snapping Options..." are currently placed in settings, but are a<br class="gmail_msg">
project's setting. Should go in the "Project" menu then, too.<br class="gmail_msg">
