           Summary: add ability to apply a stand alone diff
           Product: kompare
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kompare-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: andyparkins gmail com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Most of my use of kompare is to show a graphical representation of a unified diff, for example:

$ svn diff | kompare -

It would be great if there where a way of telling kompare to use show the diff, but also that one half of the diff represents the current directory...

$ svn diff | kompare --left-of-diff-is-dir . -
or
$ svn diff | kompare --right-of-diff-is-dir . -

Why is this useful?  For two main reasons:
 1. It would allow kompare to show the whole file rather than just those parts
    for which it has diff data
 2. It would allow kompare to selectively apply/unapply parts of the diff, just
    as it can when operating in file mode rather than diff mode
