Cool, that's pretty nice!

Just thinking out loud, but it does make me wonder if perhaps a new Verify or Utils button, in line with "Send | Recieve | Transactions" could be even nicer? If we added it there, we might consider adding a few more utils to the GUI like "Decode raw transaction", "Decode Script", "Get Descriptor Info", "Verify Message" etc. which folks who use the gui generally use other software for today...

@willcl-ark would love to hear more opinions on this, I also think Help -> Verify external txid tab might not work well with adding more utils

willcl-ark · 2023-11-14T14:46:10Z

Yeah I don't want to derail this pr, which I think looks good on its own!

If there was desire to add more utils we could always move this later; I think this looks nice.

luke-jr

Needs a lot of UX work. Definitely doesn't belong on the Help menu...

Concept ACK

As @luke-jr perhaps we can create a separate menu item like "Tools" or "Utils" with this feature in it (and would be more suitable if we need to add for example other features as @willcl-ark mentioned).

Light CR.

Since you are here (refactoring commit 10b3cd1) I'd extract all these settings into a function like "initializeAboutModeWindow" or something like that, same for the other modes, making the code a bit more maintainable and easier to follow.

Add getrawtransaction RPC to GUI to tools > getrawtransactions

Concept ACK.

I have updated the PR based on the feedback given above:

Added Tools menu
Moved getrawtransaction RPC implementation to Tools > verify external txid

utACK 9659890

I agree that the new place for this PR's feature looks better under the new "Tools" menu.

Also code-wise it's better to have a new separate dialog (toolsdialog) rather than re-using the existing help dialog (HelpMessageDialog). Thinking it loud, I wonder if we need to specify a more specific name instead of the current generic one (what other use cases would open this ToolsDialog? Other RPC commands?). Another thoughts: how this new feature (and future ones?) integrates with the current RPC console? Should we also have some kind of link on the form to open the console with the execution of the rpc command and its output? Should we create a new sub-menu under "Tools" like "RPC commands"? These are some questions that don't need to be answered right now nor stopping this PR to go ahead and get merged, just to keep the focus on what directions we want to give to the UI and follow it up.

Some thoughts: perhaps we use a more generic naming here and in the form we indicate if it's a wallet transaction with a checkbox (and then we change the form removing the blockhash option and call gettransaction?). Or maybe just on a follow-up.

Concept ACK. However, I still agree with @promag's bitcoin/bitcoin#19161 (comment):

GUI users can use the RPC console.

maflcko · 2024-02-13T08:42:06Z

Seems confusing to have the same feature present twice. Once in this pop-up and another time in the RPC pop-up?

If this is merged, then every RPC will be duplicated in a new GUI pop-up?
