Hello

I have the following proposal:

In Sun's right-click menu there is a sub-menu "Orbiting Bodies" with the following categories: "Planets", "Asteroids", "Comets", and "Spacecraft". There is also "Pluto-Charon". I think, it would be better to introduce new "Dwarf Planets" category, which would contain "Pluto-Charon" and all other dwarf planets.

What do you think?

There is a dwarf planets category in 1.6.0 but it doesn't include pluto-charon for some reason.

Reiko,

I'm affraid you didn't understand me. I know, that generally there is a dwarf planets category in the latest SVN and Pluto actually belongs to this category. I only wrote that dwarf planets are absent in Sun's right-click menu

I'm not sure, but it looks like introducing my proposal is easier, than I thought.

I think it's enough to modify the file "winmain.cpp". It contains the following function:

There are no dwarf planets in this function in the latest version of "winmain.cpp" (r4516). I've downloaded this file and modified that function by introducing dwarf planets. I'm not sure, whether I've done it correctly . Is anyone interested in my version of "winmain.cpp" ?
