#141 Support for "compare previous / next file" (menu, icon, keyboard)
When comparing many files, spread across folders, I find it pretty annoying that I have to leave the keyboard and go to the mouse in order to compare the next file.
So I hope you would find this useful feature and easy enough to implement.
I have added a patch for that, hopefully might be useful in some way:
- it works across folders (as if the tree is "flattened" and move from file to file)
- it skips hidden files (so if one hides identical files, then they will not be "visited")
- I know I have a problem with disabling the commands (to figure out if a file is the last one might require navigating the whole tree). So it does the disabling after the first failure to move. If you have a better way, great, if not, I would be happy with things "as is"
The patch contains
- prev_next_file.patch, a git patch (created using this guidelines: http://ariejan.net/2009/10/26/how-to-create-and-apply-a-patch-with-git/)
- two folders (kdiff_code_org and kdiff_code_new) with the files changed, before and after the modification, so that you can kdiff them, if you prefer it to the git patch
Best regards,
Mihai
