[Libreoffice-qa] More information in About dialog

Hi all

The most frequent questions from people providing help in the User mailing
list and in the Bug tracker is: "What is your OS architecture?", "Are you
using the 32 bit version of LibreOffice ?"

Isn't it possible that this information is included in the About dialog?

In addition to 

Version: 5.1.1.3
Build ID: 89f508ef3ecebd2cfb8e1def0f0ba9a803b88a6d
CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Windows 5.1; UI Render: default; 
Locale: pt-PT (pt_PT)

something like

Version: 5.1.1.3 *(x86 = 32bit)*
Build ID: 89f508ef3ecebd2cfb8e1def0f0ba9a803b88a6d
CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Windows 5.1 *(x64 =64bit)*; UI Render: default; 
Locale: pt-PT (pt_PT)

Of course supporting users would still have to ask the user to copy and
paste the info from the About dialog, but it would save the time to ask
(and/or explain) the OS architecture and the LibreOffice architecture (most
new Windows machines have an x64 OS but you can't assume that LibreOffice is
also...)

Should I create an enhancement request on this? Is it useful? Will someone
care?

Cheers,
Pedro
