Description

I have read here #99529: Add text file export of status report that it is a plan in 7 to have a list of the modules. The list there is a nice feature for getting support.

Despite that kind of list I want to have sth simpler - on the enabled modules page - at the top of the page - a link to or a box with all enabled/disabled/missing/error_state modules - space-separated .

That way I will be able to paste that to a note when updating core and remember what modules I had...

If an admin has drush_mm he can paste that module-list text box directly to "drush mm enable module1 module2 ..." Of course, if one has drush_mm installed he would not need that feature but the main point here is about people updating core...

FYI:

I wrote a docs page:
http://drupal.org/node/348914 - Drush Module Manager

In it you will find how with drush and drush_mm you can easily :
* solve the "disable all - update Drupal core - enable back the same modules as before" problem
* get a color PNG image with all enabled/disabled modules and dependencies ...

There is this enabled_modules module - I will be glad if it borrows some ideas and even code from drush_mm - so users without shell access would have a nice dependeny PNG + the more easy-to-do and essential "space separated list of all currently enabled modules"...

PS The image feature of drush_mm is nice - if you have time you can investigate and borrow some code from drush_mm ... the ultimate goal would be to have a nice PNG in the enabled_modules page too.... But since skilled admins often use drush - there is not an utter need for that in enabled_modules...

I think this could probably cover #496008: More info in statusmodules too..
