Since AI like GPT-4 is competent in helping the user with trouble shooting, I propose to add menu options to ShutUp10 to copy Markdown to the clipboard that can be pasted into an app like ChatGPT. The user would describe their problem, ask for help and paste a long list of settings ShutUp10 copied (to reduce token usage, it may, as a second option, be copied without setting-descriptions). If the AI suspects certain settings to be the cause of the problem, it may ask for the respective categories' settings including descriptions (if it didn't already get them).
A user prompting their AI could look similar to this:
Code: Alles auswählen
OneDrive doesn't function properly. Could a setting be the problem?
> # O&O ShutUp10 Settings
> Instruction for AI: If issues are suspected with specific settings, always mention (1) the setting's name, (2) the immediate category, and (3) the category two levels up. If necessary for further investigation and the settings lack subordinate descriptions, ask for the settings of the respective category pairs (both immediate and two levels up) with included descriptions. You never need to talk about settings that *aren't* the cause of the issues experienced.

There is a risk that somebody might peer over your shoulder while doing that If you don’t want to take this risk, then deadivate this fundion.- I developed this prompt (specifically the initial text) with GPT-4.
- ShutUp10 should build all text quoted with "> " and copy it. Please keep it as a Markdown quote, so that it is ready for use in a prompt and can confidently be distinguished from what the user writes.
- There could be these two menu options:
- Actions > Copy Markdown for AI > With descriptions (high token count)
- Actions > Copy Markdown for AI > Without descriptions
- Even for these commands that copy the greatest amount of settings, there isn't necessarily a need to copy all settings. For trouble-shooting purposes, settings that don't alter system defaults shouldn't be relevant. This could be reflected in the first heading, like "O&O ShutUp10 Settings (System-Altering Only)".
- The inital text "Instruction for AI..." must only be output if there are setting-points without a subordinate "Description:" point.
- Description parts like "requres a system reboot" or "This setting is a Windows policy" can be omitted. They just cost tokens. At least GPT-4 sometimes says on it's own that a reboot may be required (the Markdown is also not meant to be the source of truth for the human), and I don't think the "Windows policy" stuff would help the AI.
- Descriptions should have their line breaks removed or replaced by something else to keep them on one line. If you're against this, I believe there could be a nested Markdown quote ("> " two levels deep; but only for descriptions with line breaks to save on tokens).
- By getting rid of empty lines (only containing ">"), which is still valid Markdown, you can save on tokens. Also, the Markdown will rather not be read by humans and empty lines only increase the amount of vertical scrolling. If you think you must introduce empty lines around headings, you can use ">" without space (and not "> ") to still save a little on tokens (see https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer).

- There could be a context menu, appearing on secondary-click anywhere in the vertical space of a category, with the item "Copy category Markdown for AI".
- This Markdown always contains descriptions, because token amount of just one category doesn't grow rampant. According to a quick-and-dirty calculation, your largest category should have no more than 2400 OpenAI tokens, possibly significantly less, when presented in the above format.
BTW: The description of your setting "Disable preload of pages for faster browsing and searching" says it's not recommended, but it's recommended-state really is "limited". And the two "limited" settings above this one incorrectly say they're recommended.
