   * **B20:** Firstly, this would pollute the context-menu. Secondly (and more importantly) this is not a very good option for a context-menu, because you can __only__ hide the item, not unhide it from there. I think in terms of consistency for the user (meaning: "Where do I change this or that behavior?") one place to hide and unhide is better (e.g. the thunar preferences-dialog). Other stuff like making an item non-/persistent makes more sense, simply because the item doesn't disappear as a result of setting that option. --- //[[simon.steinbeiss@univie.ac.at|Simon Steinbeiß]] 2011/06/06 16:53//   * **B20:** Firstly, this would pollute the context-menu.
