Draft: Kleopatra: improve menu items
Open, NormalPublic

Description

relates to T7515

The menu is not structured logically. Proposals:

  • Move "Perform Self-Test" to the Tools menu. Position there at the top? Or position 2?
  • At the top is currently "Show GnuPG Configuration" which should be renamed. Suggestion: "Open GnuPG command line". (As most other entries there start with a verb.) The first thing choosing that entry will currently automatically do is "Show GnuPG Configuration", but we might change that when we add additional commands and have it wait on a user choice before doing anything.
  • Remove the "Window" menu. It is not about windows, it is about tabs. And the actions there are all better accessible in the context of the tabs themselves.
  • There is no real logic behind the location of actions on /with certificates. Some are below "Files" and some below "Certificates". How can this be sorted in a comprehensible way? And without moving most actions to "Certificates", thereby making the menu item list too long?

Decided on 2025-05-22:

  • Move Configure Groups from the Settings to Tools
  • Move Details from View to Certificates
  • Move Notepad and Smartcards to Tools
  • Remove Stop operation from View. Possibly move it to Tools otherwise delete it completely.
  • Move the whole View item to the right. Before or after Settings? Possibly unite it with Window which is about tabs, btw. and needs at least to be renamed)
  • Rename Refresh S/MIME Certificates to Refresh all S/MIME Certificates
  • Rename Refresh OpenPGP Certificates to Refresh all OpenPGP Certificates
