I think what probably happened is that Finder changed the way
that it displays contextual menus in Leopard. As you noticed,
Finder now displays the contextual menu items as a submenu of its

Yes, and I hate it. IMO, it's arrogant for Apple to assume that
the contextual menu items I use the most are the ones the Finder
provides. They are not. Now I have to navigate down into a submenu
every time I want one of those other commands, which is a pain. My
application has a CM plug-in that is popular with my users, and
now they're going to have to screw around with a submenu to access
my commands. This is my idea of a really dumb change. If they
really wanted to change something, they should have added the
ability to specify which commands the Finder puts in the menu so I
could remove the ones I never use. I do that for my CM commands,
so only the ones people want are added to the menu, and even then
only when appropriate for the selection. It's very useful.
Sticking everyone else's commands in a submenu is not.
