Not to hijack the thread, but that had me thinking about the current Bug report template on GitHub. At **QGIS and OS versions**, it's written <!-- In the QGIS Help menu -> About, click in the table, Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C. Finally paste here -->. However when doing this, the about info is simply pasted line by line which make it long and less readable. Instead, could a Copy info button be added on the about window that copy the info in the clipboard as a nice markdown table ready to paste?

Knowing that you will skip reports/bugs >that can't be reproduced within <5 minutes, I would suggest to change the text >of the QGIS-crashed dialog to reflect that. Right now the text is "Include as >much information as you can as well as steps to reproduce the issue if >possible" - it would be better if the text would say something like "if you >can reproduce..." or "if you can provide sample data that crashes..." or "if >this crash occured more than once...". You could also remove the "Tell us >something about when you got the crash." because it is both above the input >field and in the input field - this way you have more room to explain what a >helpful report is for you developers. This might help to save time for the >developer and the user. Even if you don't change anything I'm thankful for your answer, because now I know when to report and when not, which saves me precious time! greetz _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org<mailto:QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org> List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
