More Native Menus in Mockups for Desktop

Hello there! I have made a change in Mockups for Desktop and could use your help testing it before I push it live in 1.6 on Tuesday. It has to do with the application's menus, and now that I've done it I am kicking myself for not doing it earlier.

It mostly impacts OS X users, but there's a little change for Windows users as well.

Here's how the menus were before the change on a mac:



and



And here's how the menus are AFTER the change:

Things to notice:

- Hide will now work properly!
- Hide All is there!
- About is in the right place
- Quit is in the right place
- There's a File menu! Why did I ever think I needed to collapse the first two menus is beyond me. Oh, I know, I wanted to provide a consistent experience from web to Desktop. Well guess what, no-one wants that! :)

For Windows and Linux users, the only change was that I renamed the Mockup menu to be called "File", and the "Quit Balsamiq Mockups" menu to be called "Exit". Both are standard labels in those environments, so they should be used ("don't make me think!").

Ok, can you please download the pre-release version and report back if it all works as expected on your OS? It should also work on Snow Leopard, but I haven't upgraded yet so I cannot test it myself.

Especially useful to test is quitting the app, with Apple+Q or by closing the window. The app should prompt you to save if necessary and all that good stuff.

Thanks so much for the help, I'm excited about this update!
