Re: Full file paths in comparison window

[Sky Diver <skydivergm gmail com>]

Hi Royce,

I've asked this in the past and got a "won't fix" reply.
Sadly, because of this missing feature I am still on Meld 1.8.3.
What you wrote is exactly my case, but you also bring an alternative
for actually displaying the filename, which is great.
I hope Kai will consider implementing this, even as a flag that is off
by default.

Thanks.
