Description

Ugh, I know, I hate making feature requests.

But I thought of something that might be helpful for both developers and
users who want an easy way to detect hardware settings as well as actual
dolphin-emu settings for either a specific game or dolphin in general, and
being able to simply click a button to generate the information in either a
txt file or on a clipboard for easy pasting.

I know you might be able to just open up every config file outside of
Dolphin and paste it on the boards, but some might not be useful than
others and it's all of it isn't in one place. Also, people may post correct
information, but it may not be enough to solve a problem. Some people might
be surprised to see a setting they thought was activated, but this new
feature says it actually isn't.

My idea in a non-tl;dr form::

You open Dolphin, play a game, want to post your settings and computer
specs but don't want to download and go through files in order to post it.
So you go Tools (or something similar) > Information > and BAM, just like
CPUz, just click through the tabs and see a basic summary of everything
configured in Dolphin all in one place. You can see clockspeed, cpu type,
ram, dolphin revision, activated settings, masterkey found?, plugins being
used.

I hope this isn't too demanding, and to me, it's a really low priority to
have. But, I like the idea of being able to detect, copy, and paste
settings as easy as opening another program. I guess this can be another
way so that everyone can easily make sure, as well as share, their non
personal information on boards/irc, and make sure that everyone that reads
it will be able to understand the problem.

Again, I hope this isn't too demanding of you. You can throw this request
in the garbage if you think it's silly.
