save log button should save the whole log

Description

I recently wrote a c# module that returned a value in Summary that contained information taken from the article that the module skipped. That Summary information appears in the Log tab's skipped window. I expected that clicking the Save log button would save the whole log including Page, Time, Skipped by, Skip reason. Alas, I was disappointed and then disappointed again when I discovered that I can't copy (ctrl-c or right-mouse->Copy) the whole log. Instead, all I get is the page name.

So my suggestion: swap the positions of the Save log and Add all to list buttons. At the right of the Save log button in its new position, add a checkbox with the title Save page only; default checked. This maintains the current save-only-page-names functionality. When unchecked, clicking Save log saves everything displayed in the log; columns should be tab separated.
