Currently always when I want to send my HW/SW + Orion diagnostic information, I have to copy Orion version and MacBook version separately because both can't be selected at once.

It would be cool if it could be selected at once or maybe if there was a "Copy diagnostic information" button.

    Sometimes issues in Orion are related not just to the version of Orion, but also the version of MacOS it is being used on.
    To have a higher chance of knowing whether MacOS version is a factor, Orion could make it easier to copy this info as well when copying the Orion version information.

    Image/Video:

    Expected Behavior:

    • Orion could make turn the 2 single lines of information into 1 multiline text field to enable easy manual copying of both lines.

    • Orion could provide a copy button in the About screen that copies both lines of information shown in the screen to the clipboard.
       +   A button is even easier than copying all text of a textfield.
       -   A button is less transparent about how much information about your system will be copied to the clipboard.

    Desired outcome:
    More complete information available for Orion developers before they have to go hunting bugs that were reported on OrionFeedback.

        I often need to access my Orion version and system information to submit bug reports. Currently, this has to be two separate copy and paste operations, because you can't select the full info at once:

        I suggest either making it selectable in one go, or provide some sort of "Copy Info" button that will put it on the clipboard for the user, and maybe even close the About Orion window for you.

        (Alternatively, maybe there's a way that Orion could could automatically provide that information to orionfeedback.org…? 👀)

          this is a different method but if the dialog isn't that simply to rearrange then.. @tuesday what if there was an about:orion page that would basically list the relevant versions aside to also listing custom things like what java/etc plugins were detected&integrated?

          I guess you can kinda say its a bit like a more modern version of the old web browser 'about' page (or netscape's 'about:plugins' which was a separate page of nevertheless user help)

          at least 2 other posts ask for the same thing, can't find them tho

              Note there is Help -> Copy Debug info to clipboard.
