Description Allan Day 2012-04-30 12:56:54 UTC 
See: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/PortToGMenu

It should be possible to replace the menu bar entirely. Suggested app menu format:

Import...
---
Check for New Devices
---
Jump to Playing Song
---
View >
---
Plugins
---
Preferences
---
Help
About Rhythmbox
Quit


The view submenu would contain the existing view items, except for Jump to Playing Song

"Check for New Devices" is really a work-around, it shouldn't be in the app menu (at least not the main one)

Do submenus work in the app menu?  I somehow got the impression they didn't.

Otherwise, yes, this has been in the plan (as much as there is a plan) for a while.

Yes.

Hey Jonathan! Any progress with this? We're looking to have all our core applications ported for 3.6.
Comment 5 Jonathan Matthew 2012-07-10 11:37:15 UTC 
I've started on it, but I need to rework a lot of app startup code before I can use GtkApplication and GtkApplicationWindow properly, which seems to be necessary to use app menus.

Closing this since v2.99 has a (well-designed) app menu, yay!
