20.11.28 Track/Clip Menu Opinion [request partial revert]

[DRM]

I brought up a similar issue in the thread for the beta of 20.11.28. Here was Dan’s response:

Can’t the menu for when right clicking in an empty space just have Remove and Replace as the two options as it was before?

All the new menu API can do is make menu items disabled or blank rows but not hidden/collapsed. I had already thought about this. In order to make it like before, I would have to rewrite the code so there is a separate menu defined for each clip state: blank, audio clip, video clip, and transition. Then, move all the menus into a different code area and trigger them differently depending on context. It is a big change. Maybe someday, but not for this version.
