            Bug ID: 14579
           Summary: Usability: Unify context menus
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.6.15
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Medium

  Target Milestone: 1.8.0

Context menus seem to be defined independently for desktop, sidebar, and main
panel. Sometimes actions are missing, sometimes they are arranged differently.
This makes the user experience confusing: When not finding an expected action,
the user has to check two or three places (main pane, sidebar, possibly
desktop) to check whether the action is really not there or whether he's just
looking in the wrong place.

Suggestion:
Unify context menus by specifying the actions for a UI object once ("single
source of truth" principle).
If entries need to be adapted according to context, add a way to specify what
variations are needed.
