Hello All.<br><br>I think that the 'toolbar' idea will be useful to expand the functionality of KStars.<br>Things like Digitized Sky Survey images can go to the toolbar as well.<br><br>In addition to these, I think objects, or at least stars should display their magnitudes in the context menu, because it is one of the most important factors we'd want to look up often.

Hello all,<br><br>I found a couple of items in the context that most<br>users will probably never or rarely use. Since the<br>context menu is accessed very often, we ought to keep<br>it as uncluttered as possible:<br><br>
1. Add Link: We already have this functionality in the<br>details dialog. I think it's time to remove this menu<br>item from the context menu.<br><br>2. Angular Distance To: While useful and I use it<br>occasionally, most users wouldn't be using it often.
<br><br>I suggest it should be removed as well from the menu.<br>But where would it go?<br><br>Maybe we can add another small toolbar for that<br>purpose (actions in the skymap). A "hand" icon is the<br>default and you can use it to zoom and pan like
<br>normal. A ruler or a similar icon for angular<br>distance, and another icon for area-zoom (now done<br>with ctrl+left mouse).<br><br>Your thoughts?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Jasem<br><br>_______________________________________________
