Re: icons in menus

 

I'm pretty sure I have reported a similar issue about pcbnew, but didn't
find it.

I suggested moving View related items (Center, Zoom and possibly Grid
options) to a single View submenu. Who uses them from the context menu when
opening the context menu for items? This could depend on the situation:
opening the context menu on top of empty background and with nothing
selected could have the current menu structure. But when something is
selected these items could be put in the View submenu, of even just removed
altogether.
