Bug Description
whoopsie 0.2.24.6 amd64 Ubuntu error tracker submission
Currently (14.04.2 lts xubuntu) when whoopsie catches an error and shows a dialog:
- the user cant resize the dialog (has to scroll both horizontally and vertically)
- the user is unable to copy the contents of the report
- can't do anything usable it the package is not an official ubuntu package
Suggested features:
- the dialog should be resizeable even to full screen
- the user should be able to individually copy each item in the report, or even multi-select items to copy to clipboard
- there should be a button at the bottom of the dialog "Copy report to clipboard"
- there should be a button at the bottom of the dialog "Save contents to a file" (supposedly xml file)
- there should be a button at the bottom of the dialog "Send report in email" (write the xml to a tmp file then start the default email editing program with parameters to attach the file)
These three buttons could be "hidden" under an "advanced options" slider/
I think this way external developers could handle bugreports in a more advanced way, and fix bugs faster and better that would help the ubuntu community and ecosystem too.
(Idea: the packages could contain a github url to submit the bugs to, so developers of not ubuntu official packages like ROS.org could receive the bugreports, they don't even know about today.)
Thank you
