Help -> About:

  • we should sort the list of extensions

  • We should add an option "Copy" to clipboard like VSCODE

  • Have the date of this build
    Note: can we put the Extension name in column and the associated version in another column, so we could sort by the version / name, we can also align the version

  • Any other useful info that could help to debug if the end-user use the "Copy" button to read the info and put it in an issue

I'm not 100% convinced the current information in the About is entirely useful for end-users since they would have a product and not worry about which theia-extensions their product currently has installed. We can however always update the about to display whatever information we'd think would be most pertinent to end-users and in whichever format we'd desire.

Sort the extension names in the 'about' dialog.
1d20382 
Fixes #3886

Add minor enhancement to the example `about` dialog present in the example applications
to display the list of sorted extension names. Previously the list was unsorted which
meant it was harder to identify which extensions were in fact present, and a sorted
list is more adherent with good UI practices.
