I believe jpettit did a +++ mock-up +++ of a context menu and the panels idea was shown in +++ Preferences +++ and +++ Main Interface +++ mockups by robertw.

Those posts can be a good place to begin a discussion about all the clutter presently in the top of screen menus. I'd like for everyone to look at each item and decide (1) should an item be global, (2) per song, (3) not a menu item (4) removed from preferences, (5) added to preferences or (6) deleted all together.

Here is a screen shot of the Help menu. There is a lot of stuff there and it's one of the smaller menu lists. What do you think?

For example, I selected the Write A Request File option and the second screen shot displayed. What does the binary file say? I have no idea. Why would I send something to support@pgmusic without knowing what it is? I'd vote for either deleting the command or hopefully PG Music can chime in and tell what it is for.
