What about removing the start-up modal prompt in NewMenuDesigner?

1.) It doesn't make much sense for me.
2.) If you have the dialog open and you place a TPopupMenu onto a form, the modal prompt is shown automatically.

IMO this start-up modal prompt definitely should be canceled. Frustrating when added many menus...

I say no to the modal startup dialog as well. It really doesn't work (click) for me.

+1

Such things are an annoyance more than a help.
In the best case make it a preference.

Michael.

Removed in r51248. Let's not blow up the IDE settings with useless preferences :) The menu can be created with a couple of mouse clicks easily.
