Meld is really a cool and simple tool! I just made 2 changes, maybe they get to a official version. I use a very slow VPN connection for merging and it was VERY slow. I found out, that meld compares files even if they have the "same" date. A little debugging (my first time python debug *g*) showed that my CIFS share returns part of seconds and my local RaiserFS not (so they are different..). I changed as workaround the date-comparison to round it before. It works quite well. In a release version it should be able to select a maximal time difference to see files as identical ? Second change i made is, that if dates are different but file-comparison detects same content, both files get same date set (maximum date of both files). So next comparison will skip comparison due to same date and speed up merge the next time. This changes speeds up my daily merge to a very short time! Hope this features get into the official version and make meld a even more sophisticated merge tool.
