<p>How would you yourself take it if those patches all of a sudden included the whole file even for a typo correction? If I found that an acceptable approach I would have proposed it myself.</p>
<p>The only alternative I see ATM is to replace the spinbox with some kind drop-down menu that contains a smallish selection of appropriate context size (1-10, All?). Could be hidden under the update button but I have no idea though how you'd implement that. Could also be put in the context menu of the patchfile document, but that and any other approach will probably introduce a lot of unnecessary complexity. Frankly, do you all use such narrow windows that the additional spinbox (or a small button-with-dropdown) is something that really changes anything for you? How often do you even pay attention to the Update button and anything to the left of it?</p>
<p>Let's see what other reactions I get on the forum poll, beyond the 4 early votes it got that support my approach perfectly.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D4981" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D4981</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rjvbb, kfunk, KDevelop<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>kfunk, apol, kdevelop-devel, KDevelop, Pilzschaf, akshaydeo, surgenight, arrowdodger<br /></div>
