Package: meld Version: 1.1.5.1-2 Severity: wishlist
Almost all my usage of meld is when dealing with files on the command line, often in quite deep directories. I can start meld with the relevant files on the command line and use '&' but it would be very useful if I could keep that instance open, close the tab with the old files and open a new tab in that instance with other files for comparison. Navigating to those directories in the GUI is laborious. Currently, running meld file1 file2 & always starts a new instance. If meld could support a --new-tab command line option (similar to web browsers), I could start meld once and run meld -n file1 file2 &, fix the comparison, close that tab, continue working and run meld -n file3 file4 & again for the next comparison. The advantage is that meld doesn't need to spend time starting up repeatedly.
