Well, one possible solution I can think without knowing if it would be easy (or even possible) to implement: When someone selects a ‘from’ box, the script should update the links for older/newer options to include the selected ‘from’ parameter. [Perhaps the URL (for Older/Newer) can be stored in a variable, and then that variable updated according to whether a ‘from’ is currently selected/de-selected]: http://localhost:8080/timeline?n=20&b=2014-09-19+08:21:21 upon pressing (say, Older) should become something like: http://localhost:8080/timeline?n=20&b=2014-09-19+08:21:21&from=whatever-hash-value-from-has and, if the ‘from’ parameter is present on entering the page, then a click on a box should make that the ‘to’ selection, rather than a new ‘from’. Would something like this work?

So, it seems impossible (via UI) to compare between versions that do not appear on the same screen at the same time. Or, am I doing it wrong? The state for the selection is stored in JavaScript, and the JS environment gets cleared when loading a new page. At the moment we don't have a mechanism for selecting (with the mouse) "far away diffs," but you can achieve it by copying the version numbers and creating the URL manually. Alternately, you can use the "200 entries" menu item to first expand the list of versions, and the "checkins only" entry to further weed out non-commit entries (which cannot be diffed against). As far as i'm aware, nobody has pointed this limitation out before, which implies that doing "far away diffs" this way is a bit of a corner case. That said, if you can suggest a concrete solution for how to implement it (given our limitations such as, e.g., no jQuery), we're all ears. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
