OK, I just did, thanks: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692907 I described the use case on the bug report. The gist of it is that TortoiseHg (and similar tools) use a directory diff when comparing whole revisions. Not being able to set the label for directory comparions makes using meld in that context less than ideal. BTW, I went through the code briefly. I saw that while "tab.set_labels(options.label) seems to be called both for file and folder diffs, the DirDiff class does not seem to have a set_labels() method, while the FileDiff class does. Also, the recompute_label() method of these classes is different, only the, with the FileDiff one reads the labels. Unfortunatelly I have no experience with GTK so it is a bit hard for me to go further than that. Plus it is hard to debug because a lot of GTK error messages are constantly printed into the windows console.
