Which entries for help menu #117

Closed marisademeglio closed 1 year ago

In #84, we are talking about what URL to use for the "About" box, and the topic of links used in the Help menu came up. We haven't discussed the Help menu contents as a team, and I realize now that we should.

Rather than review what's in there now, because it's temporary, we can just say what we want it to look like.

My idea is this on windows:

Help menu:

And on Mac, the About menu item typically lives under the application menu, so the Help menu would just have one entry, "Get help".

For windows:

First item for get help

And second item for about panel/dialog is correct

I think for now that should be fine.

I'm thinking that we could at some point have offline help pages integrated in the application, that would exactly match the online documentation.

Decision with @bertfrees on slack: use daisy.org/pipelineapphelp in the application, inform others to have a redirect setup on the server to wherever is appropriate
