* Session<br> - As is, but add a properties option<br> -- Initial properties could be the audio file format and<br> timecode settings from the "Options" menu<br> * Transport<br>
- As is, but move "Options" to the top<br> * Edit<br> - As is<br> * Select<br> - As is<br> * Regions<br> - As is<br> * View<br> - As is<br> * Hardware - (what's now JACK)<br>
- Jack menu as a submenu<br> - Options/Autoconnect<br> - Options/Control Surfaces<br> - Options/Metering<br> - Options/(MTC|MMC)<br> * Windows<br> - Remove "Preferences:<br>
* Options<br> - Remove those options now on other menus<br> - Remove the "metering" submenu as it's a duplicate of entries<br> in "View"<br> -- Add "Preferences" to the bottom<br>
* Help<br> - If the only option is "about" I'd say remove<br> <br> Thanks,<br> <br>Julien<br> <br>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----<br> Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux)<br> <br> iD8DBQFIBIVrBN1Ia7JOLPcRAqFLAJ9wWtDG7XJYlRodjTzmU2o+FSIM6ACfVbuq<br>
