Dynamic menu labels
Certain menu items now have dynamic labels to make it clearer what happens when the menu item
is selected. The convention used is for the labels to display the action that will be performed once
the menu item is selected. Items that are not available are greyed out to indicate that selecting the
menu item will not do anything.
