Description Andy Parkins 2006-01-13 12:58:54 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Most of my use of kompare is to show a graphical representation of a unified diff, for example:

$ svn diff | kompare -

It would be great if there where a way of telling kompare to use show the diff, but also that one half of the diff represents the current directory...

$ svn diff | kompare --left-of-diff-is-dir . -
or
$ svn diff | kompare --right-of-diff-is-dir . -

Why is this useful?  For two main reasons:
 1. It would allow kompare to show the whole file rather than just those parts
    for which it has diff data
 2. It would allow kompare to selectively apply/unapply parts of the diff, just
    as it can when operating in file mode rather than diff mode

This functionality is already implemented, but apparently it is broken at the moment. We will try to fix that for the KDE4 release.
