TortoiseHg and hg purge: do they work together?

TortoiseHg has settings to enable the Mercurial Purge extension. But does it actually have a drop down menu or something so that you can purge a directory without having to go to the command line? Or is that extension setting just a convenient way to editing extension settings without needing to load a text file?

From top menu bar in TortoiseHg Workbench simply select: Repository -> Purge. It will perform purge even without the need to install the Purge extension.

OK, you meant main menu in TortoiseHg Workbench. There is no Purge action in explorer context menu itself. – Jocelyn – 2015-01-27T13:58:36.077

AFAIK, no. Extension also works on repo-wide basis only – Lazy Badger – 2011-10-06T01:41:53.883

1It works on sub-directories too. Just do hg purge ./. – Nicol Bolas – 2011-10-06T01:59:32.643
