Copy Settings to Clipboard?

[z0rz]

People never seem to provide enough information about their OBS settings when asking for help on the forums. I'm thinking it would be really helpful in forum discussion/troubleshooting if there was a button in OBS that would copy all relevant settings to the clipboard so the user can paste it into a thread.

Maybe have it scan the hardware being used and add that to the info? Not sure how hard that would be to implement or if it would be considered too invasive.

I think this could be pretty helpful for many people on the forums though.

They still won't use it because they won't know that it's there, just like they don't know that there is an option in the Settings menu to open their Log folder, and they don't see the sticky at the top of the page telling them to include a log with their post.

But oftentimes, it's more than settings that troubleshooters need to know. Seeing dropped frames per session, lagged frames, and the profiler at the end are all valuable pieces of information to see tro help people diagnose stream problems. So it can't just be stream settings that gets copied to the clipboard; it would have to be the whole log, at which point they might as well just post the log file.

I set up a macro a long time ago to ask people for their log and providing a link explaining how to do so.
