hello there,

thinking about the File menu, it has become clear to me that the known
approach is the best:
replace "File" with either [Application Name] or alternatively, as Rhythmbox
does it, a title that indicates the main purpose of the respective utility..

i have checked and found Empathy, Simple Scan, Rhythmbox, Totem, Calculator
and others implement this.
Now what is the better menu title strategy?
a) indicate the name of the application (Gwibber, Calculator)
b) indicate the main purpose/function of the application ( Empathy: "Chat")
c) indicate the content of the application is meant to handle (Rhythmbox:
"Music")


my personal preference is (b), if (b) is not available i'd suggest using
(a).

what do y'all think?
