Hi all,

I'm writing this email to thank you guys for doing such a great job in<= br> development and maintenance of such a helpful tool.

Also, I wanted to give suggestion as a daily user of Meld.

When I'm doing heavy merges, usually the list of files could be very long, which makes me want to sort them based on "Name" or "L= ocation" or
"Status".

I just created a patch (attached to this email) handling the sort based
on "Status" which solves my issue. However, since I'm not a d= eveloper,
you might want to do it in another fashion.

Thanks for the suggestion and the patch! The `s= et_sort_column_id()` function takes a column ID though, so that instead of = True those lines will need to be COL_TEXT, COL_LOCATION, COL_STATUS, and CO= L_OPTIONS.

I'm slightly worried that sorting like this will affe= ct something else we're doing (like tracking tree paths or something) w= hen not in flattened mode, but I'll try and find some time to look at t= his.

cheers,

Kai

First, as a meld user, thanks for your interest in improving meld! Second, I think it's great that you have a goal in mind, which is the feature that you described. Third, when wanting to join the development of an open source project, I think it's interesting (but not necessary) to talk a little bit about your background. As for specific questions, what is your programming experience? What is your OS? Have you worked on any other open source software? Are you familiar with git?

Apparently, I was enjoying the effects of that bug.. In migrating systems we often look at /etc and finding things in the order needed is much faster if the directories are all closed - otherwise it ends up being a very long list to scroll though and a pain to close the folders not needed at that time. (I'm pretty sure others use meld for the same job.) It sure would be cool to have a keystroke that would collapse-all. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to our website and get free US-48 shipping on your next order.

I don't know if you want such a feature or not. But if so and after

I'd be interested in seeing this. For me, the blockin= g issue for a feature like this is always going to be: how will this be exp= osed to the user?
