[Qgis-developer] QGIS menu item

[Bernhard Ströbl]

What I was trying to say is that many applications have a "File" menu at 
the first position. As QGIS is not really following that scheme (because 
the menu is named "Project" and I totally agree with not having it 
renamed to "File") I support your idea of the QGIS menu.
