Suggestion for "search and process" tab

Hi !

Maybe that's not the "default" way to do it, but I find this one convenient for me : when I want skrooge to draw a chart with a subset of data, I "craft" the good query in the "search and process" tab, carry it out, select all the results found (in the new tab) and click on the "open a report" button (and finally get the chart in another tab).

Wouldn't it be convenient to have such a button from the "search and process" tab as an alternative to the "execute" one ? (sort of "execute and display graphic"). It could save few clicks (and a tab) to get the chart displayed.

What do you think about that ? (maybe I missed something or I'm just wrong... ??? )

In fact, if you want to avoid to many clicks, you just have to select your request form "Search & Process" + right click + Open report.

Hi !

And thanks taking time to reply.

In fact I missed the feature you describe...juste because I used to not use the "search and process" panel this way ;D

Usually I just add the (key, value)-pairs in the bottom table, and click on "process"...and I haven't in this table any right-click action like the one working perfectly in the other table.

Ok, I will add an "Open Report" button closed to the "Search" button to avoid the creation of the search item.
