Moving all the restart stuff to be in Restart instead of Preferences wouldn't change what shows.
I'm confused, I never mentioned keyboard shortcuts, or the new All GUI actions tool. Might be best if I move our posts referring to Preferences menu cascade into a separate thread.

This is what I currently see in the Preferences drop down:

Restart in Debug mode is missing in your screen shot.


Restart Options

We have two restart options in the Preferences tool drop down menu, Restart in debug mode and Restart ignoring third party plugins, and we have the single action Restart tool.

I suggest the Restart action be moved into the Preferences drop down with the other two Restart actions and the separate Restart tool be scrapped, OR move the two Restart options in Preferences into a drop down on the Restart tool.

If I were my decision I would choose the first option because I think it would create less "where did the Restart options go" complaints.


This is a calibre-debug issue - on a number of occasions I've wanted to run calibre in debug with no third party plugins, the way I've been doing it is to run a fresh install of portable in debug.

If calibre-debug had a --ignore-plugins option we could have a another Restart option - Restart in debug mode ignoring third party plugins.

Running a fresh install of portable in debug with no plugins installed is not quite the same even if I copy my 'install' preferences into calibre portable.
