--- Comment #3 from Laptander <dev-laptander at yandex.ru> ---
Thank you for patch.
I think adding additional button called "Compare Directories" is nice solution
for now. But I think the whole behavior of comparing directories should be
changed. I mean now when I prompt from terminal "konsole dir_a dir_b", then it
only will show one file at a time. I cannot see directory structiure, but can
only swith to next file. 
I saw how it was implemented in Beyond Compare (proprietary analog of Kompare).
It uses tree structure view, base directories are located in left and right
separated panels (there is such view in dolphin), and directories, which
contains not-identical files are markered with special color. And when you
click file in that structure, actuall diff will open in new tab. And some other
cool features, like choosing what to show: only non-identical, only identical
or all.

But for now, we should at least recover broken functionality. Do you know how
to add a new button? Btw, in start dialog you should be able to start from
comparing folder dialog.
