I've been tossing around writing up a diagnostics dialog. We'd add an
item to the Help menu along the lines of "diagnostics" or "find
debugging stuff here!" or something like that. Clicking on that menu
item brings up a dialog that has the following information on it:
* location of database on disk
* location of Miro log files on disk
* clickable url for submitting bug reports
* amount of free space on disk
* amount of space db is taking up
* amount of space icon-cache is taking up
* amount of space movies are taking up
Then... at some point we could additionally utility functions like
"back up database", "restore database", "flush icon-cache" "cleanup
database", "email Dean for autograph", ...
I think the initial dialog would take an hour to put together. It could
save us gobs of time in explaining locations of Miro things and helping
people help us with bug data.
Any thoughts on this? Any ideas for a menu item name for it?
