RE: compare code block(s)

[Peter Vandenberghe <kannerke hotmail com>]

I think that is more difficult to implement and would take (a lot?) more time to compare
(what would be the size of blocks to look for?).

With ref points could could do something like:

a                      b

*1*                   *3*
blk1                  blk2
*2*                   *4*
*3*                   *1*
blk2                  blk1
*4*                   *2*


*X*: reference points, added manually

How to visualize this is another problem;
I would suggest you need to select a code block (left or right)
and that the other side scrolls afterwards to be aligned

e.g.: select blk1 on the left:


a                      b

                        *3*
                        blk2
                        *4*
*1*                   *1*
blk1                  blk1
*2*                   *2*
*3*                  
blk2                 
*4*                  


blk2 is ingored/not highlighted

How about having meld be able to detect the movement of blocks of code and show those differences.

I.e. for two files

a               b

blk1            blk2
blk2            blk1

Meld could report a movement rather than one deletion (in file a) and one addition (in file b).

I've been able to "help" meld do this by (temporary) inserting some unique text ( e.g. '%%%&&&%%%') in both files ... some times you have to save and reload too

I'd also like a feature like this.
Mostly because I have a (bad?) habit of changing the order of functions around in source files, or copying functions between files.

A relatively easy way to implement this would be a right click to add a synchronisation point and than let meld search for a similar line in the other file and also add a synchronisation point in that file.

The "ignore the rest" part I can add easily in my own brain. :-)
