Very cool!

I'd suggest posting the patch, you can generate it with

bzr send -o mypatch

or if you prefer a normal patch

bzr diff > mypatch

Hi Kovid,

Happy to generate the patch file and (presumably) add it to the tracker with a feature request.

However I think I need a slightly different command line since I did all this against revision 6785 (the tag of 2.7.6)?
So to get the code I had done:

bzr branch lp:calibre
bzr revert -r 6785

If it is all too hard I can get the latest code and reapply changes to that. It's only a few files that were changed - feel free to tell me the recommended way to get the latest too

bzr diff should still work against a reverted checkout

Well the diff file that "bzr diff > xxx.txt" produces is 46600 lines! and is listing an awful lot more than just my changes?

For instance the file starts with changes to Changelog.yaml with version information for 0.7.27. So I think it might be comparing against the latest on the trunk or something?

Ah you didn't commit the reversion before making your changes, my fault, I forgot to tell you to do that.

The simplest way to generate the diff would be

bzr commit

and then

bzr diff -r number

where number is the same as the number you used for revert.

Thanks Kovid. There was one more step I had to do, and that was "bzr add" to ensure the new files got committed.

Generated the patch file and put in a zip along with the image binaries, attached to ticket #7502. Hope it is of use to someone as a starting point at least.
