[Qgis-developer] QGIS menu item

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi Nathan,

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