Re: Diffing directories with external diff

Kirill,

This is a good idea but it seems to me that it would be better (and 
faster) to scan for modified files using the timestamp comparison 
(same that is used to indicate red icons) instead of launching cvs 
diff to find modified files. 

This would also be very similar in operation to selecting the folder 
and turning the flat view on and clicking the modified filter then 
selecting all files and making a diff but your feature would just do 
it all in one step. Very handy shortcut!

Best Regards,
Jerzy
