The File Menu

[bsmith]

I thought it may make sense to move the menu item debate out of the 3.1-Beta thread.

It seems that the standard order of items is “New”, “Open”, “Close”,
“Save” although this should perhaps be divided into the play and the
edit sections – which should have a menu divider, since they are
really different functions.

For the upper section, I would suggest
“New Game”
“Open Game…”
“Open Module…”
“Close Game”
“Save Game”
“Save Game As…”

“New Module”
“Edit Module…”
“Close Module”
“Save Module”
“Save Module As…”
“Import Module…”

These enhancements may need to go into 3.2

“New Game” and “Open Game” are excellent ideas, they could both kick-off a streamlined Welcome Wizard to guide users through loading a module and starting a game. The editor options are out of the way at the bottom; and Open Module is still there for users who want to bypass the wizard.

I like this a lot tar.
