[chirp_devel] accessing channel edit menu on mac

[Kosta Arvanitis]

Hi Jens,
 
I also find it counter intuitive; the mem.extra concept is hidden too deep in the ui so that some users may not necessarily realize it exists. Unfortunately, the TreeView does not support CellRendered buttons that would allow us to directly show to the Edit dialog.
 
Maybe there is another method for exposing custom channel settings.

Dan,
I sent a separate query - I'm not sure how/when you determine if the radio has extra settings. Seems mem.extra is only populated sometimes for set_memory.Should this be a radio features flag, e.g., rf.has_extra_channel_settings?
Hi Kosta,I noticed you seem to be very comfortable with GTK and UI portions of the code.Do you know what it would take to enable a column in edit table view with an "edit" button when the radio has extended channel settings?
I suspect alot of users aren't even aware that there are extra channel settings for some radios (even in windows world, unless they are handy with right-click, i.e., power-users)
