add annotate to file context menu in TortoiseHg workspace & log dialog
Created originally on Bitbucket by jurko (Jurko Gospodnetić)
I often want to annotate a file listed as one of the files affected by a specific commit in the TortoiseHg workspace. I then generally do the following:
- right-click on the file
- spend 5 seconds searching for the
annotate file
context menu item... - failing to find it, click on the
file history
context menu item (expecting the annotate option to be available from the log dialog then) - right click on a specific commit in the log dialog
- spend another 5 seconds looking for the
annotate file
context menu item there... - finally give up (highly irritated at having forgotten about the problem since the last time I ran into it
😄 ) - open Windows Explorer, navigate over to the file Im interested in and run theannotate file
command from there
My suggestion is to allow the user to select the annotate file
context menu option for a specific file in the TortoiseHg Workspace dialog, and from a specific commit in a log dialog opened to display a specific file's history.
Many thanks.
