Re: Launch* functions moved

I have two ideas:
1. We can create a sub-menu for all shell actions (like Shell Action) and
that should indicate the difference from "cvs edit" command
2. We could rename the new item to "Edit selection with editor". Maybe we
should move the Open commands to the top so we would have:
 - Open
 - Open with...
 - Edit with editor
 - Edit with <Notepad>

This is one of the reasons to move the Open to the top actually - it would
be more clear that "Edit with" options are in addition to the Open which
will most probably be used. But one-off dialog box with explanations sounds
like a good idea, plus we should add that to the "Tip of the day" dialog.

I think it 's a good idea actually. I wonder if there are any API for
creating "edit" associations...
