Description
Lucide should follow CUA guidelines for menu structure (and layout) as good as possible. Apparently there are some improvements possible (will report later).
An example app for eCS applications layout can be found at: http://www.ecomstation.com/edp/mod.php?mod=ecsfile&get=2

It looks like the menu structure is now correct, at least compared to the earlier versions. There is still some discrepancy between the example-app and Lucide, but this makes sense due to the nature of the options.
It might be worth moving the 'options' from the 'edit' menu to the menu bar and have the menuoptions listed under there instead of a seperate settings notebook, see ae.exe. But this is nitpicking really.

in my opinion it's not worth the effort. as i have some other apps which do it exactly the same. so closing the ticket
More details from reporter:
During translation of Lucide Beta 2 the following main menus were found:
File, Edit, Document, View, Window en Help.
It contains the expected submenus beneath them.
However, beta 3 has listed the menuitem "Document" first, and lacks "File". Under document you can find the submenu "File". This has been reported already in a direct message to the developer.
Since Lucide is a universal viewer, the lack of the "File" option is annoying, because not every file is a document, but could (theoratically) be opened, like a graphic image.
The first menu option should be "file" according to the CUA.
In beta 2 the mainmenu was correct, however, the submenus were not. Now, in beta 3, the mainmenu is incorrect and the submenus are 'better'.
