It might just be a matter of visualization.<br><br>Ah, ok. I didn't notice, but yes, that's what I'm talking about. ^_^ I might whip up a little extra "pretty" for visualizing the changes,
at some point, and then you can tell me what you think of it.

I noticed from the --help printout that you do some degree of "original file" handling:<br> -o This will open URL1 and expect it to be diff output. URL1 can also be a '-' and then it will read from standard input. Can be used for instance for cvs diff | kompare -o -. Kompare will do a check to
see if it can find the original file(s) and then blend the original file(s) into the diffoutput and show that in the viewer. -n disables the check.<br><br>...and you also have another mode for explicitly blending a diff into a filetree:<br> -b This will blend URL2 into URL1, URL2 is expected to be diff output and URL1 the file or folder that the diffoutput needs to be blended into. <br><br>Can you give me the 30 second overview of how blending is implemented in Kompare, and a few .cpp files that I should start out with? Then, I'll start a-hackin'.<br><br>Also, I expect that my changes will probably result in a build-time requirement on mercurial-devel...I assume that's OK?<br><span class="lozengeContainer"><span class="btn lozenge small left right " data-name="" data-address="kompare-devel@kde.org"
