It would be nice if it would be possible to see the current active line (of all compared files) in an extra line compare widget. In this widget the lines should be below each other, so that char differences are easy to see.

    This feature is critical!

    Diffuse doesn't support word wrapping, or splitting the view horizontally.

    Without a line vs. line diff, it's impossible to use for files with long lines. I've attached a screenshot of how CompareIt! does this.

      Agree, especially with a multi-comparison software like this where you can have ten files compared at the same time (and then 20 characters are enough to qualify a line as "long").

      Unfortunately I fear this project is not going any farther.

        Dealing with long lines is the biggest problem I'd like to address. Unfortunately, I also need to migrate off of Python 2 and the deprecated PyGTK bindings so it will take some time before I reach a point where I can address the long line issues.
