Yeah, that's bad. But, a help menu option in the GUI may raise
expectations of a proper documentation that describes how to use
the GUI, not just a list of a command line options. Until "someone" (not me
:)
writes a doc describing the usage, including scripts, script timeouts,
default config/log/script locations etc., a help menu item would be
premature.
We could just allow running a second instance with --help. The gui
PR #188 implements a more user-friendly handling of a second instance,
ways to send commands to the running GUI etc, so its easy to add
such a feature on top of it.
