I've enabled "Show the file author in compare editors" but as you can see in the
attached picture the preference is not working.

It works for comparisons involving local resources but not for comparisons 
between two remotes.

Any change we get this for 3.3? It would save quite some time when comparing versions: currently I have to go ton the History view to get the information.

I've added the author to Compares open from the History view but there are still a few places where the author will not appear:

1) Comparisons opened from the Repo view

2) Single file comparisons performed from the Navigator. This is only an issue with the non-model based sync since the model based sync does not open files automatically.

Fixing these places would be a fair amount of work so I am deferring it to post 3.3.

Any chance for 3.4? ;-)
Comment 7 Michael Valenta CLA 2007-06-14 10:31:05 EDT 
We'll target for 3.4 but I can't guarantee we'll get to it since we don;t know what the plan for 3.4 is yet.

This one can wait for a volunteer.
Comment 9 Dani Megert CLA 2008-11-27 03:08:45 EST 
Maybe when looking at this you can also look at bug 241211.

Released to HEAD, in the meantime Pawel suggested to add null check when getting the adapter. It's there.
