Yes, I agree with an easier "copy skia.log" in:

- About > Help

or:

- Tools > Options > View

- - -

This would help debug in cases like:

-

-
https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/10p6o5a/this_is_an_ancient_lo_writer_bug_still_present_in/j6yhhlc/
-
https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/sjujvd/libre_office_writer_crashing_within_10_seconds_of/hvj8aw5/

And it would be easier to give simple instructions for all OSes, instead of
something like:

> If on Windows, go to:
>
> - C:\Users\[YOURUSERNAMEHERE]\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\cache
>
> If on Mac, go to... If on Linux, go to...

> And ordinary users should not face crashes anyway.

lol. But they do!

Side Note: And, a big portion of these "disable skia" problems seem to be
laptops with integrated+dedicated GPUs, so various mixes of older
Intel/NVIDIA/AMD drivers at play.

Many "normal users" may just follow whatever Windows installs, not necessarily
staying up-to-date with the latest straight from NVIDIA/AMD.

So, whatever we can do to make gathering this info easier from users facing
crashes would be a plus in my book. :)

Side Note #2: A whole other class of users constantly say "disable skia" as the
1st step. There's YEARS AND YEARS of this "advice" in topics/posts like:

-
https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/kqp69v/libreoffice_7_ui_lag_on_windows_10_laptop_resolved/

If it solved the original user's problem, they never come back to give more
detailed info, so we never figure out WHY LO "lagged" / "ran slow" / "crashed"
or "didn't run properly" in the first place...

Again, a simpler skia.log button may help capture some of that as well.

If their problem gets solved, it may be easier to get them to:

- Press a button + paste skia info

vs.:

- having them dig through buried folders/files.
