Just wanted to add that the location for preferences can be confusing anyhow.
By reformulating what is a preference and how du you handle it you can put it
into Edit, View, Options and Files.

I belive preferences should be centralized somehow. This is because preferences
should be system-wide, otherwise the user must adapt to different environments
in every application on the desktop.
