Description cberger 2005-03-23 13:00:21 UTC

[ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_02 ]

It would be nice if, in the help->about->detail panel, you
would put the NB version string on a readonly _text field_,
to make it possible to select that text by double-clicking on
it and do a ctrl-C to copy that string, followed by a ctrl-V
to paste it into an e-mail or the bug report.

Copying that 20056893340012 string by hand is difficult
and error prone.

Actually, you could put all that panel in a selectable text area,
so we could select+copy all first five lines (from Product Version
to VM) and  paste that in e-mail or bug report.

Thanks,

I think that this feature will help anybody who wants to file bug report and
want to add some description of the IDE.

It could be realized also as button in About dialog that would copy all relevant
data to clipboard or by some shortcut that would do the same action.

It will also help evaluators of issues, because there will be one unified
description of the build from all users (of course after they get used to it).

And how is should look like? Something like this?

NetBeans IDE Dev, Build 200503221900; Windows XP/x86; 
Client VM 1.5.0_02-b09; en_GB (nb); Cp1252

Such request was there already in past, see my evaluation: 34376. Basically the
same what mkubec says (inspiration from Fixefox, heh? :-)
