Too much options in pop-up menus

It actually should do just that ;) Open a multimedia file embedded in a new
window. A more context specific description would help to make it less
obtuse. Something like "play in an embeded window" or "play in a new tab".

Could you expand on this? I am interested specifically in what you feel
would be better defaults. Assuming they make sense, I don't see why we
wouldn't change the defaults  in SVN to be more friendly going forward.

In conclusion, I think KDE should clear the excessive entries in the pop-up

I also agree that the menus should become more user friendly. Even, perhaps,
very context specific depending on several aspects of the file (MimeType,
protocol, etc.). However, I have no idea how difficult this would be. I can
imagine it would involve reworking some heavy stuff. Does anyone with more
experience have any insight on this?
