Description

When opening fman for the first time, the "Welcome to fman!" popup appears, centered on the window. When you resize the window, the popup doesn't move though.
As the main window started maximized, and the first thing I did was to double-click the title bar to restore it to a normal size, the popup disappeared (moved out of the visible area). After maximizing the window again, the popup is still on its previous position.
This is a minor bug, but is probably not a good first impression.

The status bar says "v1.4.4 ready", but it would be useful to have an "About fman" menu entry to see the current version, developer information, etc.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the first-run “Welcome to fman!” popup is positioned and how the main window handles resize, restore, and maximize events. Reproduce the issue by resizing or restoring the window after the popup appears. Done means the popup remains visible and correctly centered after these changes; the separate About menu suggestion is not clearly scoped.
