[Kdiff3-user] show continuous diff for multiple files?

[Marla P. <mp...@en...>]

Hi Joachim,

I recently returned to coding with a team using git.  I like kdiff3 for the 3-way merge, but I would also like to use it as the git diff.tool.

However, it is not very smooth to have the tool launch, then I must quit it and let it launch again for every single file in a git diff. While stepping explicitly from one file to another is necessary and useful when merging conflicts, when reviewing diffs only, I'd like to just jump from one diff to the next one, continuing across file boundaries assuming I can glance at the top and see the name of the current file if I need to.

I don't believe this is implemented, and obviously I'd like it to be, I think, but my real question for you is:  did you leave this out as a design decision or is it just not implemented?

I can use a different tool, like Review Board which we use for code reviews, as a workaround.  But I wanted to ask you about this sort of feature in kdiff3.

Thanks,
Marla
