Export settings/debug log #475

It would be useful to be able to export a text of the app's current settings and any relevant information for the dev to assist with debugging. This would be much faster than taking screenshots of the individual tabs in the settings dialog.

A button in the settings dialog, probably under Advanced or Expert tab, labeled something like 'export debug log' or something like that, which creates a txt file (or copies to clipboard) a list of the app's current settings and any other information that might be useful to the developer to assist in debugging

The alternatives are manually listing the app's settings when submitting a bug report, either by screenshotting or by typing them out, or not putting in settings information when submitting bug requests. These solutions work, but not are not ideal.

Hey @illettante i need to think more about that. You see the debug log info in the log file. E.g. when there is a bugsplat user can add logfile and also a screenshot. The programm is not allowed to make user screenshots.
