stop split-diff from updating current diff #139

Closed code-beans closed 5 years ago

code-beans commented 6 years ago

I have relatively large files to diff (10k lines), so updating takes a couple of minutes which is fine for me. Once split-diff created a diff for me and I am manually making changes it keeps updating the diff though, starting the whole process all over again.

How do I make it stop updating? I tried disabling it but this would also hide the diff itself.

I want it to create the diff once, and only update if I say so.

I think this would be a good setting. Something that would disable the automatic re-diff.

I could not agree more. Large file comparisons can simply not be handled :/

Maybe have a toggle that allows the diff to be computed on demand instead of automatically ?
