Syntax highlighting for TortoiseMerge

[Sven Strickroth]

TorotiseBlame has syntax highlighting - what about implementing this also for TortoiseMerge?

Do you suggest to use scintilla for TMerge as well?
I've tried that once, but since scintilla is not designed for such a
purpose, it was too slow. Performance drop was mostly noticeable with
bigger files of course.

Tried SCI_GETDIRECTFUNCTION?

That's not the reason for the performance problem.

And yes: I'm using Scintilla in a few other places as well, and always with the direct function.

Could you please tell me where the real performance problem is? :)

TMerge shows the content line-by-line which is fast even for big files.

Scintilla doesn't do that but always handles the whole file - it has to because of the lexing. Imagine a "/*" at the top of a 10MB text file and one "*/" at the end. If you show the middle of the file, Scintilla has to handle the whole file to recognize that even that part is commented.

You can try it yourself if you like.
