KDiff3 0.9.87

This file contains some feature-wishes for future KDiff3-versions.

TODO
====
- ftp: Abbruch beim Einlesen von Verzeichnis stoppt nicht vollständig

- Projekt-Verwaltung: Die ganze Config-Datei (=Projektdatei) an einen benutzerdefinierten Ort zu legen. (Keine Angabe->Default)
- Bei Combobox-History alle Elemente von (A/B/C/Out) anzeigen.

- Test on empty floppy drive.

-I suppose this has been asked before, but are there any plans to use
 colors for change/insert/delete (i.e. blue = change, green = insert, red
 = delete)?

> I want to compare two revisions of a file (eventually I wanna do this on
> two directory hierarchies of files) and have an output of how many lines
> of code were added, modified, and deleted for each file and overall.
 
> Also, for "Send To" from Windows, it would be nice if I could pick one
> file via Send To, find the second file (if it's in a different
> directory), and click "Send To" again to compare. I.e., when user does
> "Send To", if one instance is already open and waiting for a second
> file, the first instance is used.

 
- kdiff3 does not preserve the permissions of files it overwrites during a 'save' operation.

- Insbesondere Ausführbarkeit "x" und Schreibschutz "w" sollten erhalten bleiben. 
- Edit Select All, Ctrl-A

- Under Windows: Shortcut Ctrl-Shift-2 (for select B everywhere doesn't work.)
-                Paste from Clipboard doesn't work.

- Improve message about WinCVS in the Installer.

- Bug: Comment section isn't recognized as nonwhite difference if several lines are between /* and */ on one side.


- Overview-option to show only remaining conflicts.
- Colors for disabled and enabled arrow are very similar
- ??? The gutters (kdiff3 have 2 "gutters") fonts and background-foreground colors sholud be configured other
  than the "general" foreground-background colors. Otherwise they are confused with the main dialog.

- Unicode and UTF8 support
- Try to autodetect the line-end-style
- Ignore cvs-keywords like $Revision$
- Correct Christof crash with the Find-function.

- Windows: Check if folders can match case-insensitive.
- Close diff/merge window-menu-action.

- Printing of the diff-windows (requires automatic line wrap)
- Undo function in the merge-editor.
- More viewing options for directory widget.

- And one observation. When select Cyrillic charset - it looks like it was
  not saved. When open this dialog again - Latin charset is selected anyway.
- Add options to specify charset.
- Ask before saving to a file that already exists (optionally).
- Don't overwrite existing .orig-file, when saving the second time.

- File Menu: Close (Ctrl-F4): Close current file (check if saved and forget the data)
- Dirview:
   - Multiselections: Changing Operations or applying ops for all selected items.
   - Optionally show size/date for A/B/C
   - Choose what to see (all or only different items)
   - If only different items are visible: copy the others nevertheless to destdir.
   - Warnung wenn Datum in B oder C �ter als A ist.
   - Zielverzeichnis nachtr�lich �derbar
   - Bei Kopie von Remote nach lokal: Auf jeden Fall das modification Datum setzen.
   - Ctrl-Space doesn't work when a file comparison takes place.
   - Option to allow case-insensitive filename-matching.
- Options to show/suppress annoying messages

- What's this-Help.
- Tip of the day.

More Statistics before the merge begins:
- How many files are there?
- How many files are equal/different?
- How many files would be copies/merged/ignored?

- Allow to view and merge CVS-conflict files (and diff3-output) and allow to save output
  with conflicts in diff3 output-format.
  
- Provide configure-rules for systems without KDE. (I need help here.)

- Allow different comment-styles (e.g. via a regexp for comments)

- Possibility to jump to next difference in the same line (for very long lines).

- Allow analysis of unified directory-diff/patch-file.
