Description Georg Sendt CLA 2008-07-07 05:16:44 EDT 
The table data from AboutPluginsDialog should be exportable at least by export to clipboard.

For example it would be convenient for reporting bugs if the user can copy the names of the installed plugins to the bug report
Comment 1 Remy Suen CLA 2008-07-07 08:41:24 EDT 
Can't you just copy the stuff from the 'Configuration Details' dialog?
Comment 2 Georg Sendt CLA 2008-07-07 11:54:06 EDT 
>copy the stuff from the 'Configuration Details'

Yes, this is what Im doing now. But the AboutPlugin-Dialog is a more natural place to copy the data from. Also there are more information about a plugin in the
table available.
Maybe it is sufficient if there is a right-mouse popup dialog with the entries "select all" and "copy selected" and then the values from the table are copied to the clipboard.

Do you want to export it as a CSV file or something?
Comment 6 Georg Sendt CLA 2008-07-21 12:07:34 EDT 
Yes, CSV would be nice. If possible, use <TAB> to separate the entries.
Comment 7 Susan McCourt CLA 2009-06-03 14:24:07 EDT 
In 3.5, the about pages contributed by p2 provide clipboard support.  Bug
266186 discusses moving this code into the installation page framework so that
all table-based about pages would get it.
