Rotation options should not be in a submenu

This bug has been filled here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gthumb/+bug/120733 "Binary package hint: gthumb Currently there is a "Transform" menu, with four rotate and flip options in a submenu. These should just be part of the Image menu; there is plenty of room." " Yes, because there's enough space. It's like making a submenu with only one option inside. Why make the user click twice for something as commonly used as this? See the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines for similar sentiment: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-types.html#menu-type-submenu Guidelines * Use submenus sparingly, as they are physically difficult to navigate and make it harder to find and reach the items they contain. * Do not create submenus with fewer than three items, unless the items are added dynamically (for example the File->New Tab submenu in gnome-terminal). * Do not nest submenus within submenus. More than two levels of hierarchy are difficult to memorize and navigate. There are four items, so it's a borderline case, but I think it should not be a submenu. "
I just want to say that I support this RFE. I use this feature often and don't understand why the extra submenu is needed.
The whole Image/Tools rotate-tools issue needs to be resolved in a more logical manner. Marking as duplicate of bug 452785. - Mike *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 452785 ***
