I was trying to refactor/reduce two sets of patches (separate patchfiles) and was using Meld to check for differences and commonality, and then eliminate all file patches that occurred in both files.
However, when I wanted to remove a patch operation common to both files, there was no way of selecting a block of text across both files simultaneously in order to delete. I tried doing it piecemeal, one side at a time, but then the text sync got confused and there doesn't appear to be a way of pinning the file sync across files. Any ideas please about how I should go about this ? Incidentally, neither could I find a way of merging to a new third file, which might have been an alternative, since both input files were just shown as complete deletions from the destination file !! I had been hoping for a) diffs between 2 inputs shown as usual, with b) option to copy blocks from either into destination file. (Maybe I could use a copy of one of the inputs as my initial output.)
