MPT, to answer your questions:

- 'Preview' would preview the file in Gloobus. If Gloobus or another previewer is not used this item can be removed.

- 'Open' opens the file in the default application. 'Open with' lets the user choose an alternative application with which to open the file. This functionality is currently in Nautilus, and the proposed menu structure is only a minor update.

- The 'Take this file and' menu allows the user to perform actions other than 'open' on a file. Applications will be able to plug into this menu, and providing an appropriate space into which applications can add actions. This option will save a lot of clutter that would otherwise appear at the top level menu.

- Re. the print option, if this is very difficult to do I agree it would sensible to spin it off into a standalone project. This feature should not block the rest of the menu reorganisation described in this bug.

- Good point, these items should be updated to 'Share with Ubuntu One' and 'Publish with Ubuntu One'

- The wording 'Make Alias' is used in OSX and 'Create Shortcut' is used in Windows. We should use consistent terminology that is familiar to users of other operating systems where possible to help new users transition to Ubuntu. The wording "Create alias" aims to give a degree of familiarity to users of both Windows and OSX.

- Re. zoom in and zoom out controls (is this what you were referring to when talking about icon size?), these controls will remain in both the Nautilus interface top tool bar and also in the application menu, so I see no need for them also to be replicated in the right click menu.
