A GUI-based diff application for Haiku

PonpokoDiff

A tool to graphically compare text files.

• Yellow indicates changed lines.
• Red indicates removed lines.
• Green indicates added lines.

Double-click to open the left/right file with its preferred application. Hold CTRL while double-clicking to show the left/right file's location in Tracker.

PonpokoDiff automatically keeps track of renamed and moved files and offers to reload files when their contents has changed.

Please help out with translations at Polyglot.

ponpokodiff's Issues

[enhancement] Synchronize horizontal scrolling.

Would be nice if the horizontal scrolling was synchronized among both files, as the vertical scrolling is.

Add "refresh" menu item.

It would be nice if there was a refresh option in the menu, that way one wouldn't have to close and restart again to check the diff.

Text disappears on window resize when running a dark colour theme

There's no issue when in a light theme, the default Haiku black text on white background.
If you set a dark theme, i.e. white on black, resizing the window makes the text disappear. Or rather, the text reverts to black (you see that when setting the background to dark grey instead of black).

Waving a window in front of it, colours the text correctly white again...

If I put an Invalidate() at https://github.com/HaikuArchives/PonpokoDiff/blob/master/source/TextDiffView.cpp#L570 it "solves" that issue, though it flickers and, ofc it's nonsense to put it there as it'll keep looping the Draw()...

Odd colour pick with dark theme

Flat Decorator/ControlLook + MoonFlat.
When PonpokoDiff starts the text on the left side is white making it impossible to read highlighted lines in yellow.
As soon as the window is resized, the text turns to black (or a dark tone, I can't tell exactly) and the lines are visible again.

Before (when the app starts)

After resizing the window

Washed out yellow color in version 0.4.0

Using an older version of PonpokoDiff:

Using the latest version:

This is on beta4, 64 bits. I tried deleting the PonpokoDiff_settings file, didn't help.

BTW, on the latest version (0.4.0), the About PonpokoDiff dialog still reads 0.2-beta.

Add locale support (catkeys)

Update to add support for Layout Management

Butterfly does not currently utilize the Layout API.

This results in text cutoffs in the Open Dialog when changing the system font size.

Add HVIF icon

Two zumi icons can be found here:

Add visual indication if files are equal.

If the files are exact copies, it would be nice to see that at first glance (instead of having to scroll all the way down and not seeing color changes).

Some example ideas for this:

• Adding "(identical)" to the end of the window's title, or in the right side of the menu-bar.
• Setting the background color of both sides to some color X.

Anything except an alert would be OK by me, I think :-)
