Description Dmitry Katsubo CLA 2018-08-14 12:30:25 EDT
Currently when I go to "Help" → "About..." → "Installation Details" dialog, I am able to copy data from the table on e.g. "Installed Software" tab. Would be nice to have such ability on "Features" and "Plug-ins" tabs. In other words: when Ctrl-C is pressed (or via context menu) when some table row is selected, the row's cells content is copped to clipboard.

+1 that would be very nice to have.

Julian, can you also add this to the 4.11 N&N?

Do you think this is noteworthy? I think it may sound a bit trivial.

At least it is a long missed feature and a n&N will inform the experienced user.

I don't see any icon for the new "Copy" in the Installation details in
Eclipse SDK on Windows as shown in the N&N image.

Using eclipse-SDK-I20190219-1800-win32-x86_64 I do see the icon. Something seems broken in your install.

Apparently the old copy action doesn't have an icon (-> Installed Software and Installation History tab).

Yes and also there is extra space after Copy on Windows but not on Mac.
It was there in the old copy action also.

Do you mean the menu width? That's probably an inherent min width.

This bug here is fixed.

The missing icon was already there in 4.10 on the 'Installed Software' and 'Installation History' tab. Sarika, please open a new bug for that.

Create Bug 544618.
Comment 16 Noopur Gupta CLA 2019-02-21 04:29:04 EST
The image should be no more than 520 pixels wide. I will update it now while editing the N&N. 

See https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/instructions.html for general N&N instructions.
