Tiny nitpick about menu labeling

edited November 20, 2017
It's my understanding that, at least on macOS, menu entries ending on "..." should always be individually selectable and open a dialog in which the user can customize and/or actually start the action.

In Zotero 5.0, the new "New Library..." button opens a menu, so it should probably have "New Library" as the tooltip (without the ellipsis), and the "New Feed..." entry (which opens a submenu) should probably be "New Feed" (idem). Neither are selectable in themselves.
