[Proposal] Re: [Design] Auto-Export Collection and Settings Dialog

[Mimi Yin]

I've logged a separate bug to track this: https:// 
bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11448

On Mac, I've seen it under the Application menu. Under 'About  
Chandler' makes most sense I think. We can put it under Help for  
Windows and Linux at the top.

To clarify, the [Check] button I have there only takes you to the  
Download Chandler Desktop wiki page: http://chandlerproject.org/
