#324 View Repository from Add/Edit

[Anonymous]

I requested this feature once before, however I believe I was unclear on what I was actually asking for.

It would be very useful, if we could use the user installed Repository viewer from the Add/Edit screen. This could be done by placing a button under the URL if you have a Repository viewer installed. The button would attempt to use the URL given to open the repository browser. Since a large portion of commit monitor users also use Tortoise, this would already be installed. This is the exact same functionality (I believe) that is used to give a menu option from the main form (shown in attachment) when the user has a repository browser installed.

An initial concern (understandably) with this request was the bloat that it would require to add a repository browser to commit monitor, but in using an external program to view we would avoid that problem.

Short version:
It would increase productivity, to allow users to browse a repository from the project settings page. I manage over 60 repositories where I often need to search to find the correct one. This would be done using whatever repository browser the user has installed. Hopefully the screenshots will help explain.

Thanks for all you do, commit monitor is invaluable to me!
