About Page

This is a very useful page when you are trying to figure out where certain files exist on your system. One of the most important ones is the Exports directory. This is where you go to find exported data. The page also shows a privacy statement: the app connects to the internet only when you drop a picture from a web page onto the Pics tab, and links, Purchase and Support open in your web browser.
