added screencast for feature request push/pull current line





I really appreciate you making this video, because at least now I can
understand what the tool does. However, the attachment is much too
large for me to release this to the mailing list. I don't know whether
you can upload it to bugzilla or somewhere else, but if so then that
would be great.

cheers,

here is a screencast that compares the features ALT-Left/Right (move

whole

block)
and CTRL-ALT-Left/Right (move one line) of the program CompareIt.
The program makes kind of suggestion, where to insert the line in the

other

file.
In the screencast there are three samples of merging the files

main1.cpp and

main2.cpp attached to my last mail.
In each sample I have have first done a block move, then undo this,

because

it gives
not the desired merge and then done only the necessary line move of

code to

describe
this feature a little bit ...
Cheers,
Claudio

Hi,
I wanted to bring my feature request long time ago up again
Now with some additional info and sample of two files to compare
attached.
http://www.grigsoft.com/wincmp3.htm
This prog exactly does what we want, see my older description and
attached
samples.
The prog is shareware, you can try the features, it only runs on

windows.

But we also need a powerful compare prog on Linux and like meld very
much.
Meanwhile compareit also is developed very slowly
CompareIt uses the keys Ctrl+Alt Left/Right to copy only the

current line

and like meld
Alt Left/Right to copy the whole block, this logically fits good.
See attached sample-files to compare ...

Can you please describe the feature (or post a screencast or
something) so that people without Windows (or who aren't going to
install unsigned shareware binaries...) can understand how it works.
Specifically, how do you figure out where to insert the line in the

other

file?
cheers,
Kai
