[8.01] compare window on copy - left/right reversed

Post by *davop »

Problem: When copying from right panel to the left, if file exists on both sides, in a conflict dialog if you select More Options -> Compare, left file is shown on the right screen and right file is shown on the left.
This can be confusing.

Solution: always show file from the left panel on the left side of compare window.

Actually TC should show an arrow in the dialog to indicate the copy direction.

I'm not sure I follow.

There is now an arrow on both confirm dialog as well as the compare window that is opened when user chooses to compare two files that exist inboth locations.

But the files shown in this compare dialog are shown swapped as opposed to the sides (left/right) in the main window. This is only happening if you try to copy from right to left, not when you copy from left to right.

This is consequent.

Source is always in the left(or upper) panel of the compare tool, even if you copy from the lower to the upper file panel. ;-)
