            Bug ID: 326894
           Summary: kompare ignores binary files
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kompare
           Version: 4.1.2
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kompare-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: mattm3a at yahoo.com

I am comparing two directories (say A and B), which contain both text and
binary files. There is no information about the binary files. 

If you run diff at the command line, it will flag if a binary file is present
only in directory A, present only in directory B, or the two binary files are
different. Kompare provides no information for the binary files. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run kompare between two directories containing text and binary files. 
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Binary files are ignored in the comparison. 

Expected Results:  
The expected result is similar to that given by the command line "diff". This
flags if a binary file is present only in directory A, present only in
directory B, or the two binary files are different.
