Interface with diffoscope? #66

Closed Ambrevar closed 6 years ago

Ambrevar commented 6 years ago

Diffscope seems to provide much of the functionalities of ztree: https://diffoscope.org/. What about using it as a backend?

fourier commented 6 years ago

ztree is a minimalistic directory tree comparison tool using only diff tool as a backend, I dont see a reason to integrate another stand-alone tool with similar functionality into ztree. It is like to "use midnight commander as a backend for FAR manager". Some parts are common, but why?

Just a question out of curiosity. I think diffoscope could be an interesting study case that could be worthwhile taking inspiration from.
