Ideas for new functionality in pacdiff
by John A. Leuenhagen 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

Hello, I recently discovered pacdiff, which has proved to be an simple, excellent tool for taking care of pacfiles. There are a couple minor improvements I thought of, and would like to hear opinions on them before writing a patch. Currently, before pacdiff asks for the user's choice of action, it will compare the original file to the pacfile. If the files are identical, it will delete the pacfile. My idea is to perform this check after the user views the diff. This way, the user may merge all changes with their DIFFPROG, and the pacfile will automatically be deleted when they close their editor. If the files still differ, functionality would remain the same as it is currently. The second idea is simply a way to swap the sides that the files appear on in DIFFPROG. Personally, I would prefer having the pacfile on the right, but it is currently on the left. Having an argument for this seems reasonable to me. These would both be very simple changes, but would make the program a lot nicer, for me at least. Thanks, John Leuenhagen
