                                your files will be saved automatically.

This way it should be easy to see problems with the software and anyone interested in development has all the links available.

I also like the numbering system in folders so if i need to uninstall and back track I can.

---------------------------

another way could be having a tool box displaying similar info. 

i would put it next to 'Transform, history, navigator'. 

I would also include an email support button that automatically includes system specs, error logs and build number. (if your worried about people spamming the button add a captcha.) also a search bar that automatically opens up the forums search facility in the default browser.
