[Bug 825923] Re: re-organize context menus
Okay, for starters you're applying your personal use case to all users
and you're assuming two applications that do the same thing (something
we've taken a pretty hard stance against in elementary).
But you're completely leaving off the consistency case. What about the
sidebar context menu where cut/copy don't apply but Open does? Open
needs to be at the top of the menu and Properties at the bottom for this
reason alone, even if we discounted the frequency of the open action
(which I highly doubt is how most users utilize the file manager).

Title:
re-organize context menus
Status in Marlin:
New
Bug description:
The organization of the current context menus is a little odd. I'd
like to propose a new organization that (hopefully) puts more used
items towards the top and lesser used items towards the bottom. It's
organization also allows menus to be more consistent in their
placement amongst themselves (even though they contain different
items). Note that I used the phrase "Get Info" instead of
"Properties". I feel like this is a more friendly wording, but this is
only my opinion and I won't protest if you disagree on that point.
Here is the proposal:
### Click in an Empty Space:
Create New Folder...
--
Select All
Paste
--
Show Hidden Files and Folders
--
Get Info
### Click on a Folder:
Open
Open in New Tab
--
Cut
Copy
Paste into Folder
--
%Contractor
--
Rename...
--
Move to Trash
Delete
--
Colors
--
Get Info
### Click on an Item:
Open with "DefaultAppName"
Open with >
--
Cut
Copy
--
%Contractor
--
Rename...
--
Move to Trash
Delete
--
Colors
--
Get Info
