Right, there is no menubar at the moment, that's being worked on and should be fixed during the cycle

Just to note concerning this - ctrl+h now shows hidden files & sets global option to show hidden files to enabled

Sebastien, does the fix you mention affect the file chooser dialog? Because that one should have some kind of menu. It took me years to discover that I can use Ctrl-H to show hidden files or that there's a context menu.
