Move Menu Minipanels default settings form from Content authoring [#1337710]

Hi,

What's the reason behind putting the Menu Minipanels settings form under Content authoring in the menu? To me this does not feel intuitive, and I'd rather have it either as a localized menu tab under Structure/Menu, or else as a menu link under Configuration/User interface, which are the places where I'd look for it.

I'd like to hear more peoples opinion on this, and if people tend to agree on where it should be located I can submit a patch (or someone else can, it should be really simple) to fix this.

If you are talking about the "Mini panels" item at /admin/structure/mini-panels - that feature is provided by 'panels' module when that module was activated.
"Panels", "Pages", and "Mini panels" are content and layout tools provided by ctools. This module, "Menu Minipanels" is just taking advantage of the existing "mini panels" manager, and gluing it onto menu item hover behaviors.
So - it's not this modules job to choose where ctools exposes its utilities.

The stuff that you put into the mini panels is more like content - it's likely to contain some actual text - that could be the sort of stuff a client should be able to update. Therefore I think it is closer to the content & structure end of the scale that it is configurations or UI.

The things contained on the settings form /admin/config/content/menu_minipanels doesn't have anything to do with content, it's just the default settings for the javascript overlay plugin, to me that's UI and presentation.
