Doesn't support syntax highlighting #1

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Installation doesn't currently include PyGtkSourceView, which is required to 
enable syntax highlighting.

The easy way to get this added is to get it added to Portable Python.  Vote 
here to add that feature:

I'm looking at a diff of changes to a C++ file using Meld 1.7.0 for Windows. If 
I go to Edit / Preferences, the "Editor" tab, I can check "Use syntax 
highlighting" and both sides of the compare now highlight C++ keywords like 
public, return, void, and int. So this does work for me. What I *don't* see 
however, is Meld highlighting the portion of the line that changed. That's what 
I would love to see. Is that what this thread is about, or is that a different 
issue?

As embarrassing as this is, I never actually checked this didn't work.  I had 
tested that Meld does indeed not do the syntax highlighting without 
PyGtkSourceView, but I never realized that Portable Python is actually already 
including this as part of the PyGTK module.  It does look like it is able to 
work without the GtkSourceView DLL (libgtksourceview-2.0-0.dll).

As for highlighting the part of the line that changed (like KDiff3 does), this 
is an issue you'd have to raise with the Meld team.  I didn't see that anyone 
had requested that on the issue tracker 
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=highlight+product%3Dmeld), 
but you might ask on the mailing list first 
(https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list).
