Description

From a user email:

"One feature I think you should implement is the ability to modify what items go in the popup list when you click the icon in the menubar. For me, all I want is a list of my playlists. I don't need ratings, genres, artists, etc."

Point taken. It's actually been on my "todo" list from the very beginning to make what items appear in the Global Menu, and where they appear in it, fully customizable. I think it's important because there are a lot of items in there already and many more that I still want to add.

    Implementation note: I'll have to refactor the Global Menu code a little bit to make this possible. Currently, from an OO perspective the Global Menu itself is an object which takes care of all the details of which items it will be displaying. I'll now need to make those items themselves more fundamental in the class hierarchy; the Global Menu will worry about which ones are to be displayed and in which order, but the items themselves will have to answer questions about what they look like, what they do etc. Perhaps I should have done it that way all along...

    Changing assignment to reflect my new email address.

    Also see feature request #558, which contains some specific suggestions for how items should be grouped and ordered. This feature should enable such an ordering if the user desires it.
