            Bug ID: 463315
           Summary: Allow to choose a diff file from welcome window /
                    Rework welcome window
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kompare
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kompare-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ashark at linuxcomp.ru
  Target Milestone: ---

When you launch Kompare on its own (not by clicking on a patch file in
Dolphin), you see a welcome window. And that window does not allow you to
choose a single diff/patch file.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kompare from start menu
2. Observe the window you see 

OBSERVED RESULT
The window shows you an interface (on the Files tab) that allows you to choose
file 1 and file 2 to compare them. But there is no way to open a patch file
itself.

EXPECTED RESULT
Ability to choose a diff or patch file on a separate tab at least.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This window that is shown at start is actually a dialog that is shown when you
choose menu "File" - "Compare Files". But there is also "File" - "Open Diff"
entry.

I suggest to add a nice welcome window, like for example in Ark, saying
"Welcome to Kompare" and has two buttons: "Compare Files" and "Open Diff". And
that dialog window for several files to be only shown when user actually
selects "Compare Files".

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kompare: 4.1.22120
