Menus

Featureful has no menus or toolbar items. Components create them.

The components that I've created all use nouns for the menu text, and the items inside are verbs (actions) that can be applied to that noun.

For example, the File menu only appears when you are looking at a File. It has entries such as Rename, Copy, Delete.

The File menu does NOT contain actions related to the application (such as Quit, or Settings).

It's odd that this needs explaining, but given that every other application doesn't use these simple (and IMHO, sensible) rules, I felt I should!
