Two possible approaches I can think of:
- If you want to compare two files, launch 2 browser instances. The
browser needs to support interaction between instances properly.
Probably, this is difficult to implement and a bit non-intuitive to use.
- Support a 4 pane view: 2 folder panes on the left, 2 corresponding
file panes on the right. This view could be activated if required, e.g.
via a button. By default a 2 pane view is shown.
