Move "context menu" to BDV menu

[tischi]

Hi @constantinpape, @imagejan, @tibuch,

I don't really understand (anymore) why we have this right click context menu:

I think now that it would be more intuitive (and more extensible) if this functionality would be available in the BDV menu bar, where there currently is File, Settings, Tools, Help.

I just checked and we can also remove some of them, e.g. Settings is useless for us.

So we could just add a MoBIE item there and put all the context menu stuff there.

My point is that "the right-click context" is in fact the whole BDV, thus having in the menu bar would be intuitive.

Ah.... I think I remember now, I think we initially had some functionality that depended where the user right-clicked and it would execute some action only for the image that was at the right-click location. But we don't do this anymore; I think we found this too complex, because (a) we would need to teach the users that this is the case and (b) there could be multiple sources at the same position....

Opinions?

We use the Sow Raw Images and Log Current Location from time to time and it feels "natural" via the right click menu. But I agree that this could most likely be moved to a menu somewhere else. So, no strong opinion except for keeping the functionality in general ;)

[constantinpape]

I also like the right click menu. Is there a strong reason to move it somewhere else?

[tischi]

No super strong reason. Mainly I could get rid of some dependencies that I currently need for the right-click and it would make the code a bit easier to maintain for me...

Maybe let's leave it as right click for now but also leave the issue open in case new arguments appear...
