Feature: a way to save/load a comparison #101

Open joyously opened 2 years ago

joyously commented 2 years ago

I am using Diffuse for a three way comparison and I have two reasons for wanting to be able to save the way I have told the tool how to align various lines. One is that I want to send it to a colleague, to collaborate. Another is that I need to reboot my system and don't want to lose my research into how these versions compare (alignments).

I suppose it would be even better if Diffuse could figure out alignments more accurately. Being able to tell it which lines are a match is an advantage over Meld, though.

That would need to create a new format I think, owned by diffuse. It should be relatively easy to do, if someone would like to chip in, contributions are welcome :wink:
