Gale's alternative File Menu proposal

This assumes we do not allow an "Open" menu to open audio files. If we do this we should probably stop "Recent Audio", opening audio files in the file manager and dragging audio files to the Audacity icon opening new project windows.

This scheme lets us have a root menu item for straight export and import.

New Project Open Project... Recent Projects > Check Dependencies... Save Project Save Project As... Save Compressed Copy of Project... Close Project Edit Metadata... Import Audio... Import Special > | Audio in New Project... | MIDI... | Raw Data... | Labels... Recent Audio > | Import | Import in New Project Export Audio... Export Selection... Export Multiple... Export Special > | MIDI... | Labels... Edit Chains... Run Chain... Page Setup... Print... Exit
