Description John Bell 2006-06-30 11:12:41 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

If the older file is compared as "source" and the newer file is compared as "destination":

You can't move edits to the source file -- The left arrow button on the toolbar does nothing. *And* the tooltip for that button says "Unapply difference".

It seems that you can only apply edits to the "destination" file.  But when I switch the files the program incorrectly states what the differences are between the files.

Files compared:
"origina-file.txt"
line 1
line 2
line 3


"new-file.txt"
line 1
line 2
line 2-x
line 3

This all depends on the definition of source and destination. For kompare we chose source to be the file with changes that you want to apply to destination.

So it is the source of your changes, not the source where everything comes together. Maybe this is nice for a chapter in the handbook for kompare. Turning this into a wish.
