<ol class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Having the the "open with" item near the top makes sense because it's likely the most commonly used item</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Having the "open" items grouped together makes sense, since they're both similar actions, and all other platforms I'm familiar with have their context menu's "open" items on the top too</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">The greater use of separators is an asset, not a drawback: separators provide structure and help the mind distinguish between logical groups. In particular having cut/copy/paste separated from other items makes sense.</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">The current FV menu has bugs:<ol class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">The top item is <span><span class="phui-tag-view phui-tag-type-shade phui-tag-grey phui-tag-shade "><span class="phui-tag-core ">Open</span></span></span>, but it uses an inappropriate icon and is duplicated by another superior <span><span class="phui-tag-view phui-tag-type-shade phui-tag-grey phui-tag-shade "><span class="phui-tag-core ">Open with [app name]</span></span></span> item buried in the middle of the context menu.</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">It doesn't show the <span><span class="phui-tag-view phui-tag-type-shade phui-tag-grey phui-tag-shade "><span class="phui-tag-core ">Paste</span></span></span> item unless there's something to paste. This is a HIG violation; we don't recommend modifying the visibility of inapplicable menu items; instead they should be disabled.</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">The <span><span class="phui-tag-view phui-tag-type-shade phui-tag-grey phui-tag-shade "><span class="phui-tag-core ">Properties</span></span></span> item doesn't have a keyboard shortcut</li>
