+1 on that. If I pick it from patchwork or an mbox, I just < patch.mbox or curl patchwork.url | dim apply. I don't see the value in baking that into the script ... What we could do (and we have a jira for that already) is to check patchwork for the updated .mbox with all the r-b/t-b/a-b tags auto-added. That would greatly improve at least my workflow. And I also agree with Jani on keeping the dim design clean. We can add stuff where it makes sense, and where dim really can add value (with additional safety checks and convenience features). One thing we maybe could be doing is a more fancy aliasing feature, along the lines of git aliases, where you can do whatever you want. Then you could do a dim apply-curl alias which resolves to curl $arg | dim apply. Not sure how to implement that though ... -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
