Quick comment, going back to the days of Office unifying their menu/toolbars: does it make sense to have New after Reload or should it be first in the toolbar, as many apps have "New, Open, Save, Save As" under File and the toolbar for this app is very much a File menu. Just horizontally.

[htcfreek]

Good question. My idea was that open is the more often use case. But we can switch.

[randyrants]

Not a firm opinion - just an opinion. Wondering what others think too.

Hi, team is doing a 0.90 fix release these days, and cannot merge PR for the time being.

Good question. My idea was that open is the more often use case. But we can switch.

I vote for 'New, Open, Reload' order align w/ other apps. there is no copy/paste support before, so Open is the only option.

[jamrobot]

overall looks good to me, please let me know if comments make sense to you. thanks for adding 'New' function to RegPreview.

@crutkas Can you please take a look? Seems that @jamrobot doesn't have the time to review.

[crutkas]
