[enhancement] Add environment reporting to aid bug creation #546

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It is important to put in the bug report as much information about the 
(failing) environment as possible. Reading over active bugs does not show a 
consistent report (although there is a list of questions being asked by a bug 
template). But if automated, this could be very useful.

The current Editra "About" dialog shows some information, but likely not enough 
and it can't be conveniently copied and pasted into a bug.

This is a proposal to add:

1) Code to detect and lists more information about the system: OS version, 
bitness, service packs; python wx swig etc. versions, system variables incl. 
path, how was program run, what plugins are loaded, versions and whatever else 
we can get from the system. The more, the better.

2) Convenient edit box in About to copy this information from OR dump this 
information to a file when the application starts so the file can be attached 
to a bug report.

I guess it could be useful to add a secondary popup when the bug tracker item 
is activated in the Help menu that contains the same information generated by 
the error reporter.
