mq: Add "Edit Patch File" and "Explore Patch Queue" to patch context menu
Created originally on Bitbucket by thomasdd (Thomas D.)
User story:
I work with patches a lot. Before posting my patches to the public bug tracker, I often want to verify the actual patch file created by thg, which is a fast and efficient way of double-checking for errors and reviewing your changes en block. The patch is right in front of me, but there's no easy way to edit it from inside thg as can be done with other source files ("Edit Local"), so I have to search for the patch again using Windows Explorer.
I also often have the need to create backup copies of patch files before refreshing them, and more generally, to manage patch files. Again, the patch files are right in front of me, and thg knows their location, but there's no way from inside thg to access the folder location of the patch queue as can be done with other source files ("Explore Local"), so I have to search for the patch queue folder again using Windows Explorer.
Feature request:
- Please add "Edit Patch File" to patch context menu.
- Please add "Explore Patch Queue" to patch context menu.
STR:
- From your patch queue, try to view/edit the currently selected patch.
- From your patch queue, try to explore the folder location of the patch queue.
Actual Result:
- Have to search for the patch again using Windows Explorer (but thg knows the location)
- Have to search for the patch folder again using Windows Explorer (but thg knows the location).
- Unhappy user because it's not nice to search for things which are already right in front of you, and thg knows their location!
Expected Result:
- Right-click on patch, then "Edit Patch File" from patch context menu to edit the patch file.
- Right-click on patch, then "Explore Patch Queue" to explore the patch queue.
- Happy user because thg is so efficient and helpful !!!
😃
Thank you very much for thg and all your efforts.
