This patch adds the menu tree for "Create Content", to the Content Management > Content item of the menu generated by the module. This makes it possible to add new content to your site via the Admin Menu at the top of the screen rather than needing to create a link somewhere else that takes you to node/add.

I know it's not part of the Administrator menu tree but I think adding new content qualifies as an administrative task and really needed to be included in the Admin menu.

+1, as long as you don't remove it from the original Navigation menu (I did not really check your patch to see if you do). There are many cases where node creation is open to users, and is _not_ an administrative task.

But having it in the top dropdown menu _as well_ would be definitely cool.

This patch shouldn't change the original Navigation menu at all. In my tests everything there still seems to be working as expected.

I didn't like the needless sub-menu item 'Create Content' in the previous patch, so this revised patch adds all content type creation links directly below 'Content Management' » 'Content'.

I'm not sure if prepending 'Add' is the best solution, since that certainly won't work for translations.

Attached patch makes those Add Content XYZ strings translatable, though I don't believe that those will be translated by someone.

I can't find a "Add new content" or "Add Article" etc item in admin menu on Drupal 7.

BTW is probably a known bug but this came up when I searched in version 7.x - surely D7 hasn't been worked on since 2007..
