The `extensions` array should contain extensions without wildcards or dots (e.g.
`'png'` is good but `'.png'` and `'*.png'` are bad). To show all files, use the
`'*'` wildcard (no other wildcard is supported).

* `position` String - This field allows fine-grained definition of the
specific location within a given menu.
When creating menu items, it is recommended to specify `role` instead of
manually implementing the behavior if there is matching action, so menu can have
best native experience.
The `role` property can have following values:
* `undo`
* `redo`
* `cut`
* `copy`
* `paste`
* `selectall`
* `minimize` - Minimize current window
* `close` - Close current window
On OS X `role` can also have following additional values:
* `about` - Map to the `orderFrontStandardAboutPanel` action
* `hide` - Map to the `hide` action
* `hideothers` - Map to the `hideOtherApplications` action
* `unhide` - Map to the `unhideAllApplications` action
* `front` - Map to the `arrangeInFront` action
* `window` - The submenu is a "Window" menu
* `help` - The submenu is a "Help" menu
* `services` - The submenu is a "Services" menu

### Standard Menus
On OS X there are many system defined standard menus, like the `Services` and
`Windows` menus. To make your menu a standard menu, you can just set your menu's
label to one of following and Electron will recognize them and make them
`Windows` menus. To make your menu a standard menu, you should set your menu's
`role` to one of following and Electron will recognize them and make them
become standard menus:
* `Window`
* `Help`
* `Services`
* `window`
* `help`
* `services`
### Standard Menu Item Actions
OS X has provided standard actions for some menu items (which are called
`selector`s), like `About xxx`, `Hide xxx`, and `Hide Others`. To set the action
of a menu item to a standard action, you can set the `selector` attribute of the
menu item.

### Main Menu's Name
On OS X the label of application menu's first item is always your app's name,
no matter what label you set. To change it you have to change your app's name
by modifying your app bundle's `Info.plist` file. See
