Dear wx-GUI developers,
some ideas for the menus.
Kind Regards, Nikos

1. I've re-touched a screenshot of the ''File'' menu (.png picture
attached). The picture speaks itself.

2. Remove the word '''workspace''' from all (sub)entries under ''File >
Workspace'' and have simply:

'''New''' #instead of New workspace[[BR]]
'''Open''' # instead of Open existing workspace[[BR]]
'''Load map layers'''[[BR]]
'''Save''' # instead...[[BR]]
'''Save as''' # instead...[[BR]]
'''Close''' # instead...[[BR]]

3. Change the entries under ''File > Map type conversions'' like:

from '''Raster to vector''' to '''Raster to Vector'''[[BR]]
from '''Raster series to volume''' to '''Raster series to
Volume'''[[BR]]
from '''Vector to raster''' to '''Vector to Raster'''[[BR]]
etc.

Comment:

I didn't take the time to "Capitalise" the first letter of the entries in
the File menu. Just to make clear that I am not suggesting to have them
(the terms raster, vector, etc. beginning with) lower case.

done in r34838 (6.4) and r34839 (7.0).

I don't see any reason why to capitalize 'to' map type...

Replying to [comment:3 martinl]:

About point 3: This suggestion is about making the Menu more
aesthetic/easier to read. Not so important.
