feature request TortoiseMerge in Wrap lines mode

[Niemann, Hartmut]

Hello Stefan!

 

I have a feature request regarding TortoiseMerge.

When I activate Wrap lines mode, the line comparison on the bottom of the screen uses the same wrap points as the upper displays,

using only half of the available width. It gets even more complicated if left and right pane have different widths.

 

Would it be possible to not wrap at all in the lower part of the window at least if left and right line fit there completely?

(On the other hand I can see that there is no horizontal scrolling in that lower window, so if the line is even longer than that, it is currently clipped on the right in non-wrap mode.)

 

Regards

 

Hartmut

The last sentence details the problem: since the diff-pane doesn't scroll on its own, long lines would be clipped.

The text in the diff bar scrolls with the views above, but in line-wrap mode those views by definition can't scroll.

Also, this would only work for a line that's wrapped once. A very, very long line that would get wrapped into several lines (imagine a compressed xml file where everything is on one single line) this would get really messy.
