Text compare with headlines
|
Created attachment 281444 [details] Text compare w_o headlines I regularly need to commit text files like plain XML-configs, Eclipse-launch configs etc. stored in a SVN working copy using Eclipse or simply only have a look at changes done temporarily for test purposes. The commit-dialog allows me to show the actual differences within the files to commit but I regularly don't understand which side of the dialog is BASE vs. the changed contents in the working copy. Other similar dialogs for Java code etc. provide that piece of information, but some dialogs seem to simply speak about left and ride view in general, without me knowing what that actually means. Why are headlines not always shown in those dialogs? Is this a bug or by purpose or am I simply missing some setting? I don't see why/how it should depend on the content of the compared files if they were available. The settings for text compare use headlines always as well in its example.
