Hi

Seems "Fix on save" is taking its shape to final beauty (hopefully it'll
be not an ogre :) )

so setting filters, sorry to complicated, isn't ?
After more thinking all better ways seems to be "compare style with left
view". This become little bit tricky on One-pane view, but I think there
is solution. To rememeber formating before diff is applied.

Extracts from previous emails:
* there are whites in file end - this we could leave with the on-load check.
* multiple EOLs are used - this we should definitely not make depending
on the on-load state, at least not for ascii/utf8 encodings: if the
svn:eol-style is set then a commit for such files will fail if it has
inconsistent line endings.
* spaces AND tabs can be converted - that too can be left dependent on
the on-load state.

Done. You can check it and fix language.
Right now same dialog is used for settings and fixing. Was good for MFC
training, little bit less for maintaining, but encapsulement seems be ok.

If we take "left" view in account as "ultimate (format) source" then we
get forth option "as in left" (always or ask ?, or fifth when both?) to
current three(never, always, ask). This can be set by drop box, but not
sure about simplicity(easy to use), and usability(usefulness).
