Hi @guergana!

ODE user guide: https://opendataeditor.okfn.org/documentation/getting-started/ Report an issue: it will be a special paragraph on the user guide for that. Since we are still implementing changes, please add this link for now: https://github.com/okfn/opendataeditor

Hello, @romicolman I am confused about Reload and Force reload... These are options that are defaults of electron, but they don't seem to add any value to our app. In which cases do you think these options would be needed?

@romicolman for the Report an issue link, shouldn't the address be https://github.com/okfn/opendataeditor/issues

romicolman commented 1 month ago

Hi @guergana! Regarding the report and issue link, please, add the link that I posted. The reason is that in the Readme of the repo we give non-technical users with an easy way to report problems (OKFN account), and if we redirect users to the issues section on the ODE repository we are just creating a way to do it for developers or technical audiences.

Regarding the Reload and Force reload option, please, give me a couple of minutes. I'm checking with @roll if that button had a particular functionality when it was add it to the app.

romicolman commented 1 month ago

We checked categories with @roll. Please, remove reload and force reload (I've already updated my comment to remove these 2 categories)

romicolman commented 1 month ago

Hi @guergana! Regarding the file menu, if the user selects Add (file or folder) the ODE should display the "From my computer dialog":
