There is an option to do it on the right click menu if you click on the task area.

Thanks!! I was missing this functionality.

I think the old place was better. I never thought of selecting an entry for global actions. Anyway, still an awesome product! Thanks again.

So. In summary...

The nice clear UI option has been removed.
It's been changed to a hidden option that gives no hint that it even exists.
It's not mentioned in any of the release notes.
It's not mentioned anywhere in the documentation.
And there are no plans to make it discoverable or update any of the docs before releasing it.

And someone thought this was a good idea and would make it easier to use.

Have I missed anything? :shock:

The GUI is a disaster of angry spaghetti, the sooner you abandon it for the CLI the happier you'll be.

Making an awful lot of assumptions there ...

It's a very infrequently used feature so it wouldn't make the top list to document or mention. I've restored it for the upcoming 1.2.1 release since it's not doing any harm.

1.3 will hopefully introduce the new queue design so quite a few things are going to be in different places. How we expose, or choose not to expose some of these features is still up in the air.

Can play with this in the nightly builds (turned on via preferences >General > experimental) but it's still got a bit of work to be done on it.
