Description gbz 2006-06-14 13:38:44 UTC 
In the Image->mode menu, there are three items: RGB, Grayscale, Indexed.
The one currently selected appears as insensitive.
The more natural way would be to show these as radio button items, where the currently seelcted has a pressed radio button.

You absolutely have a point here. I wonder why noone has thought of this before. Changed in the development branch:

2006-06-14  Sven Neumann  <sven@gimp.org>

	* app/actions/image-actions.c: use radio items for the Image mode
	as suggested in bug #344871.

	* app/actions/image-commands.[ch] (image_convert_cmd_callback):
	changed accordingly.
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2006-06-14 14:51:24 UTC 
They were no radio buttons because in this case we agreed on the
icons being much more useful than the radio indicators.

I vote for reverting and closing as WONTFIX.
Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2006-06-14 14:53:59 UTC 
Well, I disagree. The Image mode menu has always been a major source of confusion. and IMO it has improved a lot by this little change. With the old state it was not obvious what mode the image is in and why one of the modes was grayed out.
Comment 4 Michael Natterer 2006-06-14 14:57:17 UTC 
Very well, closing again then.
Comment 5 gbz 2006-06-15 13:14:05 UTC 
Maybe the ideal would be that gtk allowed also a GtkCheckMenuItem to have an icon.
