…it has the main features a general user could want…
Shortcut creation, open with, file properties, options for third party software like 7-zip, and more are all hidden behind another click. The old menu was more functional because everything you needed was right there.
…easier to navigate…
It’s much harder to navigate because the things you use most often are now relegated to tiny icons with no labels so you have to guess which one will do what you want.
What’s more, the icons are all the same 2 or 3 colors. Remembering “the box and the line with the cursor on it is rename” is much more difficult to remember than “the one that says ‘Rename’ is rename” or even “the blue one is rename”.
If I remember correctly, you can’t even go off of position in the list because only the options that are applicable will show up. For example, if you don’t have anything on the clipboard, the paste button isn’t grayed out, it’s just gone.

This is actually one of the worst aspects of this so-called bullshit modern UX design you see everywhere. This is one of the worst possible ways you can hurt accessibility for the vision impaired and blind like myself and many hundreds of millions of others in the world.
Wtf is this icon/button do?! Fucked if I knew 🤦♂️ Designers that do this are the most inconsiderate people in the world IMO 🤣 I even hate that we have a Toolbar like this in the Twt Post editors on yarnd pods 😅 – At least we have labels on buttons everywhere else 🙃
@prologic@twtxt.net The people who make these sorts of UIs clearly don’t have to use them every day.
