Update wording of context menu items to make it clearer what they refer to

[vertigo220]

Not sure if this is a GUI issue or a choco one, so please let me know if I need to move it over there.

A big feature missing is the ability to tell chocolatey, probably via the right-click context menu, to ignore updates for an app. It should provide the options to ignore the current update or ignore all updates.

@vertigo220 are you familiar with the choco pin command? I believe that this will do what you want.

Ah, ok. Should've known that based on #1607. Guess I just didn't connect the two, though now that you mention it, it's pretty obvious, though only based on that. In other words, I should have known that due to my participation in that issue, but otherwise, for a "normal" user, it wouldn't be at all obvious, so maybe that would be worth a GUI change, to change the context menu entry from "Pin" to "Pin (Ignore Updates)" and possibly even make something like a or command with a corresponding menu entry that would be something like "Pin (Ignore Current Update" or "Pin (Ignore This Update)?"

Apparently I did the code tag wrong, and I don't know what it is nor can I edit my posts. I hate that GitHub changed so it no longer works on ESR. Anyway, that should say "make something like a choco pintemp or choco pinver command"

I am not sure if I completely follow this. Can you elaborate? Chocolatey GUI is simply a wrapper around the underlying Chocolatey commands. If you are asking for a new Chocolatey command, which I think you might be, then the correct place to make that request would be on the Chocolatey Repository. Once implemented there, that functionality could be exposed within Chocolatey GUI.

I think that this is a good suggestion.

@vertigo220 I have updated the title of this issue to reflect what is actually being requested. Let me know if you have any additional comments.

Yes, that's what I was asking, just figured I'd make sure that it was something I should open an issue for there before doing so, and it sounds like it is, so I'll do that now. Thanks!
