Summary0005732: Change the track > "remove" menu entry to "remove all selected tracks" to make it's operation clearer
DescriptionCurrently, there are two options for removing tracks, right clicking on a track and selecting remove or selecting a track and using the track > remove option from the menu.

I think both of these options could be clearer and distinction from each other as they operate differently when involving multiple tracks. If you select multiple tracks from the editor window, right click and select "remove", it will delete the tracks one by one. If you select all the tracks and use the track > "remove" menu entry, it will delete them all in one go.

If the right click entry on the track itself remained as "remove" but the option in the menu changed to "remove all selected tracks" it would make it clearer to users that they work differently. This currently isn't clear. They will show you the appropriate dialog windows but unless you know these differences, the options could be seen as the same and a lot of people might not know that there is an option to "remove all selected tracks" in one go.
TagsNo tags attached.

Really, these are both intended to be the same action, since all operations are supposed to follow the selection.
