Main Menu
=========
-The menu bar is located on the upper part of the desktop window. Available commands depends on the current selected schema and its mode (edition, run). The menus are specific for each mode and rebuilt as soon as the user changes the current mode. Relevant commands also depends on the item selected in the schema tree view.
