Always have an easy way to get to this GitHub #88

The only way to get to GitHub from the extension is to trigger X1 from a non-map page.

(P.S., the box on the bottom is irrelevant here and should not appear.)

If, on the other hand, we are on a map page, then we need to make our way to chrome://extensions/?id=icipmdhgbkejfideagkhdebiaeohfijk and then tohttps://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/osm-smart-menu/icipmdhgbkejfideagkhdebiaeohfijk and then click Support before finally getting here.

Therefore, from this screen X0 there should also be a way to get to this GitHub.

Click on configuration then you get Homepage https://github.com/jgpacker/osm-smart-menu

BTW, that's what I just did ;-)

By the way, in the first image, the jgpacker/osm-smart-menu link makes us scratch our heads to where it will lead us, as the word GitHub is gone, and there of course is no preview...

Clicking configuration gives 20210606T090551 with no Homepage in sight. Digging deeper leads to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/osm-smart-menu/icipmdhgbkejfideagkhdebiaeohfijk and even more clicking.

Have you seen this or is it new? Screenshot from 2021-08-30 11-21-05

OK, but that is relying on the system to help out. I was hoping the extension would be more forthcoming in letting the user know where it lives.

M-Miller-42 commented 3 years ago

If there already is a system, that tells you consistently for every extension where it lives, why do you want to add another way that is only one click faster and clutters the UI? I assume most users never needed or wanted to find it's Github. So I think it is fine for this option being in the configuration. I find it intuitive to get there, because it is the only option in the menu.

Well, OK, then be consistent. Remove the URL from the image in https://github.com/jgpacker/osm-smart-menu/issues/88#issue-709900504 So it should just say "...report it."
