(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           cervisia
Version:           KDE 3.0.6 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.2
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I really like kompare's diff view (kdesdk/kompare). I think it gives a better overview over the changes made. So I think it would be nice if cervisia could use this view or may be offer it as an option.

Thanks

This is already implemented as an option! :)  
goto: 
Settings -> Configure Cervisia ... -> Diff -> External diff frontend 
and type kompare 
That's it!

Yes, I know. As I wrote this BR, I thought about using kompare's KPart but I think 
this is too complicated. But your solution isn't quite what I wanted either. :-) 
 
With your solution kompare is called like this: 
 
kompare file1 file2 
 
But this way, kompare only shows the code parts of the file that were changed and 
there are no command-line options to change this AFAIK.  
 
I know that there are a lot of changes in the make_it_cool-branch and I think the 
needed functionality is one of them. But the 'External diff' entry for kompare will then 
be more complicated. 
 
I have something like this in mind to make it easier to use kompare: 
 
[*] Use Kompare to display differences between revisions 
[ ] Use internal diff view 
[ ] Use external diff programm           [                                          ]

I have to rethink if this functionality is really needed since Kompare HEAD works much better in combination with the existing diff program option
(see comment #1).
