So finally u're saying that importance/frequency doesn't really matter
and we should do like other applications do regardless of their menu
actions. That s a good question follow blindly the menus of other apps
or evaluate the application usage.

For marlin i choose the second option, i didn't want massive menus and didn't wanted neither submenus which just add complexity.
Contracts are not just another sendto menu, they clearly more than that and very close to an open with action and sometimes u just can't say the difference between a contract and an open with action. What is the difference between "Burn to Disk" and open with Brasero ? Let say i add an imaginary contract like Play a movie what is the difference between Open with Totem and Play a movie? Theses are the reasons which tell me that contracts belong with open with actions, they are extended actions not very different than a 3th 4th 5th open with action item.

Of course if we didn't imposed ourselves not to have submenus our menus
would be different.

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
