Cheers!
What I used to do, when I was patching regularly, was copy the custom section of the yaml file in the main folder which had the patches I wanted listed and enabled.

I had a bash with this lovely friendly tool last night. It was very user friendly, and I especially liked how it will also upgrade firmware versions for you before you patch.

I did wonder if a section where I could just copy and paste that custom bit of the yaml file and have it enable the patches I want might be possible? That might go against how user friendly it is though, and I am sure you have lots of other things you want to work on.


edit: Kobopatch.yaml is what I meant. For instance mine is:
Code:
 
overrides: 
  src/nickel.yaml:
      Reduce new header/footer height: yes
      Increase Book Details synopsis area: yes
      Show all games: yes
  src/libadobe.so.yaml:
  src/libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml:
      Remove recommendations (row1col2) from home screen: yes
      Both page turn buttons go next: yes
      Always show confirmation dialog before upgrading: yes
      Never show Kobo Plus, wishlist, and points SmartLinks: yes
If I could just copy and paste that somewhere and have it give me a file with the patches I want without having to go through the menus, that would be grand.
