LogDlg - Show changes for multiple selection

Hi,

just noticed that the Show Changes command is only available for singly selected items in the Changed File List Control. While that is great, I have to do the Show Changes for every single file that I want to review. :-(

I currently use Beyond Compare as external diff tool - i'm happy with it except for its lack of auto line breaking. The beyond compare tool has a tabbed MDI interface, allowing one instance to host multiple diff windows.

The TortoiseMerge tool (just looked at it again) is better than I remember it to be, but the UI looks terribly busy - its bright colors remind me of the old WinDiff tool. Take a look at both attached screenshots to see what I mean.

But this post is about possibly adding functionality that would let users multiple-select items in the Changed file list control and make the Show Changes command work there too. For up to, say 50 selected source files, the Show Changes command would launch multiple instances of TortoiseMerge windows. If BC3 is configured, it would cause the diffs to load into multiple tabs in one instance of the Beyond Compare 3 program.

Useful?

Friedrich
