Another suggestion is to make standard that the plugin GUI includes a "Help" or "About" button. Now, to come back to Paolo layout idea, what about (it is what I'm using for my plugins!!): +--------------------------------------+ | PLUGIN NAME | | author | | | | version | | date | | | | Plugin purpose line 1 | | Plugin purpose line 2 | | Plugin purpose line 3 | | ... | | link to the help page| |--------------------------------------| | legalese blahblah | |--------------------------------------| | Close | +-------------------------------------+ An example is at: http://www.bc-consult.com/img/aboutex.png Regards, Benoit Links: ------ [1] mailto:[email protected]
