Custom file comparison tool
Posted: 2010-04-19, 05:08 UTC
Hi,
I wondered if it is possible to give the user option to compare files with their custom tools (KDiff for example). The bundled comparison tool is not bad but I miss there some features (changing just font color to red is not too visible, some background color change should be added also, then I miss left handed bar where you can see the whole file changes using color lines and finally bottom line with selected lines from both files one below the other so you can easier see changes for long lines).
This I would love to see implemented in default diff tool but adding option for custom diff should be much easier.
