It's not currently possible. I'd definitely consider a feature request, but... it's complicated. Meld's version control view always tries to show you whatever your version control is going to show you on the command line, and I personally consider that to be a good design choice. Having said that, several people have wanted this so... even though I disagree, I'm open to the notion that I just don't get it. On a technical/UI level, it's a reasonable amount of work to do this. The main thing is that it should be *really obvious* that this was happening, and it should probably be untied from the current global on/off setting of the filter. In other words, just because I filter out comment changes in my file comparison doesn't mean that I want to blanket commit files that have comment-only changes when in version control view. In short, feel free to file an issue! However, I can't even picture how the user interaction would work at the moment, which means that in my mind, it's a long way off. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
