Add copy Blender Info for when posting bugs
As it is quite important that all users try and post valid bug reports. Doing this can be some sort of a task itself. It starts when we need to at the blender version, hash-tag, date&time. Im not sure how others do this, but i tried to memorize the code (90% failed ;) or do some weird split window management.
I had been thinking about making a simple add-on. So today i actually did and it works like a champ.
github.com/schroef/copy-blender-info
But i think this could be a useful feature for the help menu and should perhaps be shipped with blender. Its super easy and fast
I havent updated in a week orso, but just read a post on Blenderartist where i also post it.
Now it seems its adds all kinds of info automated. Thats great!

I love you !
Also I think, you should suggest it directly to devs: it should be added right to 2.8 pack, at least until it is Beta and anounced.
* @ Vyacheslav * I tried that, but i think i need to make a post some where else. I did it in a bug post and that got closed.
Also idea (4u if it possible, 4 devs if not): invoke function right to «Report a bug» item.
* @ Vyacheslav * I was thinking of testing adding some sort of copy paste command. But your mention is perhaps better. Its indeed even faster adding that report operator to my operator, than its really a single click :)
Great idea!!
* @ Vyacheslav * It works, i was thinking calling an operator from a operator is good practice. But it works, ill add a new version perhaps tonight
* @ Vyacheslav * Repo is adjusted
* @romboutv * Thanks! You made my life a bit easier! And I agree that separate item is better in the case, someone do not want to rewrite single buffer.
Tested Win 7 — Works ok!
Thank you! Today I made such suggestion to devs.
B 2.8 has "save system info", which copies this stuff onto a text file and saves it.
* @Josephbburg * Yes, but… It requires to click button, save file, open file, copy to clipboard, delete useless file… Awkward way. The best way here (copy info) or press «report a bug» and get webform with filled info (what kind of info, you can configure/fill once)
