[scribus-dev] Suggestion for new "Table" menu layout/content

[Elvis Stansvik]

Hi folks,

Just tossing this out here for discussion, not something I'm working
on this very minute. But it needs discussing.

Below is a suggestion for an initial table menu structure. I guess
this would be present in both a context menu, but also somewhere in
the main menus for greater discoverability.

InDesign has a top-level "Table" menu. So the question is, do we want
that as well, or should this be put in a sub-menu under "Item" ?

Please suggest what should be dropped/changed from this proposal.

Cheers,
Elvis
