IMO:

- --------------------
 Open in >>		(new window etc; *only* display this when the default app is 
embedded; LMB click to open the file with the default application)
 Open With >>		(All other applications)
 Actions        >>		(Actions you can do on files like rotating images, 
renaming with krename,...)
- --------------------
 Cut
 Copy
 Paste
 Rename
 Trash			(off topic: it should be possible to use /dev/null as trash IMO ;) )
- --------------------
 Properties
- --------------------

Or a button and also possible via the "Open With >> Others..." dialog.

Or a button and also possible via the "Open With >> Others..." dialog. (ps: 
"Open With >>" apps and default app in my idea)
