Ability to edit files from Remote File Search list

[Will Chapman]

I find the remote file search very useful but also restricting. For example, I often search for error logs and having several subdomains I end up with a long list.

Invariably I want to open a file to see, and often edit its contents but I can't do so without waiting for the search to finish (or stopping the search).

Could I suggest one or more of the following in order of preference:

1. To be able to click on a file in the list and read/edit it.
2. For the search results form not to be a fixed dialog so that one can perform other functions whilst it is running (for example open and edit a file from the main FZ screens).
3. Export a copy of the search results so that they can easily be referred to outside FZ (say in notebook)

[Patch] Add View/Edit from the remote search window

[Bruno Ramos]

First version for of the patch to add the View/Edit option from the remote search window.

This should be fully functional.
Code taken and adapted from the already existing View/Edit functionality.
Tested under Debian GNU/Linux.

Even if with this we will have a bit of duplicated code, I think it would be better to accept a small patch to add the functionality. And later on refactor the code to make sure we will be able to reuse code and not duplicate it in these situations.

Thanks, patch applied.
