I thought about something like that. If there are more than three window
to open ... something like patch apply list could do that.

If you add/click on unversioned file there is some change from nothing
to file. No change no compare. I can live with this but it annoy me
sometimes when I changed property(ies) on multiple files and going over
them is closing window with no information just after double click ...

Readonly/writtable button (next point) would solve this.

One wonderfull feature would be to set changed property.

My request was that to make it work I need that button. I suggest to
call it ReadOnly or Writable.
Views have attribute readonly (as r21612) this should be what gui
shows/changes.
I thought to put this button into view header where file name and its
modification status is, but that would break clean GUI design of T-Merge.

If I'm not mistaken main remaing issues would be:
  * on exit show what files has been changed and save them. I have some
ideas about this.
  * making sure all operation works on right view too

eventualy:
  * save all button besides save
  * resolve use 'this and then other' when left view should be edited -
this is maybe hardest point of this.

If you are in deep doubt we can try it in brach. But I will need you
help anyway.

PS: While writting this found that setting readonly to false for view
would allow me to start testing that.
