Workspace editor - Workspace diff #5

Closed SenorRagequit closed 3 months ago

SenorRagequit commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Additional context Would be cool to have a diff feature for workspaces. You can click a button that shows the workspaces and a little checkbox behind. Activating that checkbox adds the workspace to the "diff overview screen" - you can select 2 workspaces max. That "diff overview screen" shows the selected workspaces next to another and highlights differences. Maybe as a first step, just highlight folders/files and not the exact line number INSIDE a file. Just to get a better overview about what's different.

Can you give me an example / epic paint design art how do you see it, so it is usable? Cause all I see is:

And I don't know if that is the thing you want?

For diff stuff to see what Exor changed each update (besides the stuff they tell us) I use the software called WinMerge. In there you can compare folders/files. You can select like 2 folders and it shows you which files are the same, which files are only on 1 side, which files have changed.

The top view looks like this to quickly see by icons what's up. Green = Same Red = File changes Half page/folder left = File/Folder only available in left folder structure Half page/folder right = File/Folder only available in right folder structure grafik

If you open a file which has been changed, it shows the 2 pages next to another and marks the line and highlights what changed: grafik All the way to the left it also has that full-scroll page thing like visual studio has on the right.

So something like this just in minimalistic is something I thought would be nice to have.

Ok, for now it will be simple file tree structure comparison image
