Description Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2009-02-28 11:28:03 UTC 
(This bug was created after some initial discussion in bug 556976.)

Gabriel wrote: Thinking ahead/bigger picture, would it make sense to have a toplevel menu for Source and for Tracks or something?  I don't like how we sort of cram everything into Edit etc.

To which I replied: Sounds like a good idea. Having a main menu item for each "thing" in the user interface, e.g. "Source" and "Song" makes sense imho.

This would mean menus changing quite dynamically with the context of the app - eg when switching to Podcasts you'd at least want them renamed appropriately (Podcasts and Episodes menus, probably).  I think some other apps do this, but I'm not sure - I have a feeling the HIG would say don't do that.  :)

Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
